I agree. What was going to be said was going to be said. While no resolution came out of it per se, I think i understand a lot more where Adam was coming from. While i still disagree with what was said and still maintain he should apologize, he has his reasons for not and I think that they are good nature. I still have a lot of respect for Adam and what he is doing with the Pokercast. (Mike and Bunner as well.)

Re: Shame on Adam Schwartz

This thread is actually a bit creepy. Your religious ideas have somehow lead you to try and sensor or control the behaviour of another person.

I understand that you think you're doing the right thing, but if your religious beliefs are not true then what are you actually doing?

This tweet is extremely disgusting, and honestly, i am saddened that you decided to say such a thing. Someone made a choice based on priorities in there life, and you can't even show the decency to respect then. You do not have to agree with, nor believe what he did was right, but I think it shows an immense amount of hubris to act like you are so much better than them. Some things are more important to poker,a dn the fact that what he considers more important does no line up with your definition is no reason crush him.

He is going to make 40k, be happy with his choices, and honor what he feels is most important. I hardly see why that deserves being laughed at, or mocked. I think you should apologize Adam, because if you can't think of something that trumps poker, then I feel bad for you, i really do,a nd if you believe there are things that trump poker, then I fail to understand how you can talk the way you do.

Whats wrong with Adams Tweet?

Get a Life. If you should be allowed to think god exists then I should be allowed to believe ur an idiot. And that god is responsible for most evil in the world such as most wars in history and stuff like 9-11.


Adams tweet was actually a factual statement.

The point made in the tweet is one that any of us should be able to make in a free society and Adam did it in a very inoffensive manner. The fact that someone managed to be offended on JN's behalf is kind of strange and to me just highlights the odd sensibilities of certain religious folk. Living in a free society is really at odds with certain belief systems but that's ok, we're all here to help you get over it
Oh, it isn't just the sensibilities of religious folks ... try pissing off the gay community and be prepared to have a new azzhole ripped out.

I guess since it's not locked....

I don't care if my beliefs are right or wrong, i think mocking someone for the bleifs that they have that do not hurt anyone and really have no effect over you as an individual is wrong. I wouldn't mock a Pastafarian, even though I think they may be wrong. I thought I had made it clear enough, sorry i didn't, that I don't care who he was mocking and what belief system they had I still think it's wrong. So how you can construe this as creepy, i really don't know, odd choice of words for sure.

I think it's more than that. Tons of different groups can be offended for different reasons, and saying you understand how they could be offended or to feel uncomfortable because of someones action towards that group is perfectly legit.

Locked, but will re-open if OP or Adam requests it.
