What are you talking about?

I didn't "attack every player who notes strange stuff happening on ACR while mindlessly defending the site."

When I was active in the WPN subforum, I was both supportive of WPN in some areas, and critical of them in others. In particular I've been very critical of their live chat support, which is beyond ridiculously bad/unknowledgeable/sometimes unprofessional. And I've never "attacked" anyone about bots or cheating that I recall. I quit playing cash games on WPN over a year ago because of the cheating and bot rings, and the miserable environment created by the Beast promotion. Phil's vehement promise on twitch to aggressively combat bots followed by total inaction was the last straw for me. I don't play many tournaments there anymore either because I hate 46 hour late registration. And as result I haven't been an active poster there in over a year. Although I occasionally drop in, I didn't even look at that subforum for months at a time during 2017.

As for this subforum, I've been active here since moving my play over. I don't "attack" people in the way I think you mean, but if someone posts something unfounded I'll call them out for it. What you quoted itt wasn't an attack on OP in any way, I simply asked him questions which logically need to be answered if his claims have merit. Although to be fair I did later poke fun at him for presenting the notion he wants really strong players on his immediate left, which I happen to think is kind of LOL. You didn't quote that though.

As for my thoughts on WPN or Global poker, I have never "mindlessly defended" either site. I think if you really follow my posts, you'll find I call it like I see it. I am supportive of the sites when I think it's warranted, and I'm critical of them when I think it's warranted. Both Global and WPN do things that fall into both categories imo.

I am shocked you took the time to type out such a well thought out response to someone who isn't going to be able to process 99% of it.

IKR. I probably should have just gone with "cool story, bro".

I realize I come off as a dick when I talk like this, but I don't care. From what I've seen in this subforum recently there's so many people that aren't worth a response or are just drawing dead when it comes to understanding simple topics. We just have to let the rigtards and morons type away and try to only enter threads where the conversations are reasonable :/

Fair point. Many people won't understand the point you are making. But then when I post an explanation, I post it knowing the person I am responding to may not ever understand. But there are people who are reading posts and not responding, and they ARE listening to reasonable responses and willing to be swayed by logical arguments.

If the only logical "sounding" arguments are coming from the flawed, and the response is "STFU" from the people who actually understand these topics deeply, it leaves the reader believing the side that seems crazy might just be right.

So I get it, sometimes it seems like a waste of time to try to explain concepts to people who won't get them, but then... that is not the whole of who our arguments are reaching. Keep that in mind as you write responses as well.

Side note, this is something I have always appreciated about gluten free in particular. GF seems to be thinking though the topics and making reasonable responses, even when personally attacked. May we all learn from that example of how to behave in an open internet forum, and if we did.... imagine how much better 2+2 could be!

All I can really say is +1, you're one of the only posters I respect on here, so keep it up.

F*ck you dude. I'm quite literally a genius IQ-wise and I also don't care about his/her response. I've passively watched what they do to people over the years.

Please provide examples where I've done what you said.

If it was true that I "mindlessly defend the sites" then it would stand to reason I would never have been critical of the sites. Surely someone of your high intelligence would agree with that?

Congrats on your vast intelligence, sorry about your very small male genitals.

Its too bad that because of their smallness you feel the need to be strong in an anonymous internet poker forum.

Of course, despite there size, you could still go and use your immense genius to do something positive for the world, like cure cancer, or run for office and that way we could elect intelligent people, or start a non-profit that changed the world for the better in terms of poverty and clean drinking water, but....

Instead you will likely stay right here and troll people on the internet while you hide behind your keyboard as you quietly shake in fear because if you actually did something with your life, you might fail. And the idea of failure makes you queasy.

LMFAO DAMN SPLAYA YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT TO HIM. In all seriousness this was spot on but if he reads it he might hate himself even more.
