if someone on ftp tells me they're gonna shoot me or w/e i obv dont take those threats very seriously. as in i dont think they'll actually come kill me. but its hard to not pass some judgment on those who are too dense/immature to control themselves when they have access to an online identity that doesnt let people hold them accountable for their actions and words as would happen in the real world.
noobs get laughed off these forums on a daily basis for behaving like livb - only they haven't played enough games/hands to know better or made a million dollars like livb.
pretending like there's a difference so that livb teaches us all something revolutionary here in the q&a thread is one thing. i hope u all dont actually believe this guy deserves any different treatment than all the other poker jerks out there that u usually try to gang up on and busto for acting like like livb. if badbeater started this thread it'd be a riot and rightly so but livb made a lot more money and his 2p2 PR is in better shape so instead people come out of the woodwork to defend acting like a child.
we're all expected to have perspective on death threats etc but livb isnt expected to have perspective on variance after playing 30k games? he says/said crazy things. just bc it was on the internet doesnt mean ppl who dont like to be disrespected cant call it as they see it.
