From your mouth to some hockey god's ear....but pipe dreams aside - here's the thing: the forum isn't poker. Seems like the whole rest of 2p2 is full of this
ad hom stuff - the Stud forum (and you can directly credit Andy, one of the best mods on any forum I have ever seen and that's a lot of forums) operates as a topic forum should:
on topic.
Posters are not topics.
LC is meant to be more relaxed - but I can see it going the way of the Dodo if it begins to resemble the rest of 2+2 - You think fights are fun, personal attacks are fun, I get that. It's a guy thing. But....
This Stud forum is as close to actual poker talk - true professional advice, respect for newbies and micros, something can actually get accomplished here. People learn here. That's incredibly rare. This is a gem of an Internet location amid a swamp of poker detritus.
There is a dynamic that always always happens. I may have gone off on JT a bit harshly, (sorry JT ) BTW, but anyway - this easily can devolve into a classic Karpmann's Triangle while people defend one or another, attack me for attacking one or the other, and on and on - and it all spills over.
So I'm all done, to do my part. Andy, feel free to delete any and all posts of mine if you deem it will be any sort of improvement at all. I have to go try and write something useful now.
GL to me!
