Seriously.
Not all of 2+2, just the PPA forum. Of course the PPA is our ally in helping us get our money back but I doubt Mason really cares about that.

He isn't talking about closing down all of 2+2 just the PPA forum.

Re: Warning to The PPA

Raised Fist at Wikipedia

Quote:
The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a salute and logo most often used by left-wing activists, such as: Marxists, anarchists, socialists, communists, pacifists, trade unionists, and black nationalists.[citation needed] The raised fist is usually regarded as an expression of solidarity, strength or defiance. It dates back to the salute of Rotfrontkämpferbund, a paramilitary organization of the Communist Party of Germany before World War II.
Here's the PPA's logo.

Mason, words cannot properly express how disappointing your post is, but if they could, then the phrases petty, oversensitive, utterly over-bearing and controlling, irrelevant, counter-productive during a crisis and completely lacking in perspective might be involved.

Thanks for bearing in mind what really matters to poker players right now, and keeping people's attention & efforts focused in the right place.

Re: Warning to The PPA

Completely ridiculous threat.

btw can you tell us what 2p2 is doing to help in all of this.

Srlsy the biggest poker forum (and poker voices) in the world and Admin has not taken any overt action to do anything at all. I really was expecting more.

Where is the leadership from admin? Hopefully not just worrying about images that they think might represent something ominous.

Joseph M would love you.

One can only hope that some day the religious nut jobs will be exactly as united as a community as the poker community is today.

You think? This is completely ridiculous and it's pretty obvious that Mason hasn't contacted them personally before posting a threat in NVG.

Pure ego power trip, completely out of proportions, against the one group of people actually trying to do something for us...

WP Mason, big time. Chemical imbalance, anyone?

Re: Warning to The PPA

I am currently on the air with Marco and Quadjacks live. I posted a link to the logo into the chat and 4/5 instantly said it reminded them of the Communist logo.
