Hey chez?

Yo

Are you capable of not responding to this post?

yes

Not likely, given you have >1/6 the posts ITT despite there being 45 different contributors.

By the way, what did Bruce apologize (in the "I'm sorry" sense) for?

You going to at least confirm that he did make apologies?

The posts are all still there

chezlaw answer Wookie's question.

Chez, why don't you feel comfortable telling us why you post here?

You don't answer mine. Why would you conclude that's because you feel uncomfortable?

There's an apology outside of the mod forum, the problem is it isn't very good and doesn't do what it needed to, which is unambiguously accept responsibility. Which is also true of the one in the mod forum which is kinda more genuine but is an apology to 2p2 for his conduct. It's not an apology for what was said which is understandable considering his audience in that forum.

However the apologies were too little too late, didn't seem particularly sincere, seemed more motivated by a desire to protect his mod status and came during and after a meltdown which was going to take a bit more than an apology to recover from.

Ultimately if I punch you in the face my apology may not do it for you, and if it does that's down to you not me apologising.

Chez, who else specifically do you think needs to apologize and "accept responsibility"? What posts do they need to apologize for? Be specific.

Chez, I'm gonna keep asking until I get an answer: why do you post here?

I'll be the bigger man.

I'm sincerely sorry that I recognized BruceZ's posts for the racist tripe that they were.

that's all #teamSMP has been waiting for

thanks for being the bigger man, jbro

True story. Was feeling a little guilty for poking fun at the reds here in that regard, and was wondering if my memory was accurate about how they handled things. Ended up going back and reading a few of those threads from last year, including the ATF thread. Ugg, worse then I remember. Some of that stuff from DS and Mason is just deplorable. I can't believe the type of cretins they cater to here and I'm mortified that I've still been posting here for the past 6 months. I'm an idiot. If any mods find me obnoxious feel free to give me a perma ban.

Also poker is a miserable game for miserable people. I'm not that crazy about math either.

Yeah, I lost a ton of respect for DS and MM after that.

If you take it as them letting everyone say their peace instead of being authoritarian, it is easier to swallow.

Guess the way to shut chez up about this subject was to ask him to actually answer questions or have a point. Great job everyone.

That works, thanks Brian!

Hey, what if I imagine them as mot only anti-authoritarian, but also naked ladies? Then it is easier to swallow AND titillating! Va-va-voom!

Oh, what if they were anti-authoritarian Jedi knights? Then it's like an easy to swallow, intellectually rigorous, space opera! Look out for Boba Fett!

Wow, is this what logical thinking is like? Because I could get used to it!

Meh, **** it, somebody just give me the edfurlong treatment tia.

No logics were used or harmed in the making of my post.

It can either be taken as a genuine attempt to guess the moral ideal that MM was over-emphasizing to the detriment of other moral ideals, or as briansplaining.

Either way, it probably doesn't matter as this is a poker website where people interact anonymously. It is quite possible that I actually have a ridiculous name such as Kevin or Michael.
