Understandably insulted, Clonie hires a legal firm and sues Full Tilt Poker, which of course is her right.

What's not to like?

Meanwhile, Daniel (the Imp) Negreanu, who always says the first dribbling, diatribe that comes into his pea brain, spouts off that Clonie Gowen is through in the poker world, will never work again, will become ostracized, and henceforth, He, "The Imp" will never speak to her again. And who exactly cares besides the pea brained Imp?

What's not to like?

Meanwhile, Barry Greenstein, on his startup, 2+2 give-em some competiton web forum, Poker Road, publicly (albiet politely...alas) disagrees with "The Imp" countering every point "The Imp" made with ordinary reason and raw intelligence.

What's not to like?

Meanwhile, in a fit of latent rage Daniel "The Imp" Negreanu creates a phony, gimmick, 2+2 account with the name of Howard Lederer, and basically makes a complete tool of himself, spilling information his two closest circle jerk friends, Mike Matasow and Allen Cunningham are feeding him, in an obvious, but very feeble attempt to discredit our hero, Clonie Gowen.

What's not to like?

Meanwhile, Andy Bloch's name is never mentioned, and he quietly sits home, smoking his pipe, and reveling in anonymity while his FTP counterparts go down in flames.

Clonie Gowen, who probably plays poker better than 95% of the posters here, is called a "bad player" and hardly deserving of what she's asking for--because she's a bad player. Hello? Logic 101.

Meanwhile, all of the 14 year-old, 24-tabling, 14,000+ posts, junior millionaires, who love to write 4 U info imporant 2 all, in their spare time between hands, put up their Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu (The Imp) press lips to butt man love grovellings, espousing their general overall (lack of) intelligence and poker superiority. Their knowledge of subjects at hand and overall air of haughty arrogance, and I'm better than you and know everything while you know nothing nonsense babblings, while reading posts wearing sunglasses, pulled down cap, and hoodie shirt--all the while siding with their heroes PH, DN (The Imp), DURR and RApToR (sounds like Jurassic Park rejects, doesn't it)...continue to fascinate.

Clonie Gowen has a slam dunk case. Defendants want no publicity for their cheating, illegal, Internet gambling site and will quietly settle--hopefully (for them, the owners, who did get their disbursements) before it's too late, and someone will give "The Imp" a banana as a reward for his toolhardiness, which he will put somewhere appropriate.

And the beat goes on...

So what caused all this animosity? Does anyone on NVG have a clue? How could this one girl have caused these guys to hate her so badly? Is it just because she supposedly failed to perform in tournaments? There's got to be more to it than that. You don't just start hating someone because of their ability or lack of ability to play poker.

I can understand why someone who has a better track record than her in tournaments, but yet has no endorsement deal, could be jealous. It's just sour grapes. But why have these filthy rich guys had it in for her for so long? That's the real question. Does anyone have any ideas?

Requires he should be more confin'd; and none,
No not the Princes self, permitted to
Confer with him. I'll quit you to the King.
Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd;
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.

Do you see the difference between "a woman's scorn" and "a woman scorned"?
