I've let them go until now because the poster's history does have some relevance to the context of the answers, but we're edging closer to me pulling the plug on all of it. This is why we can't have nice things.
Thanks.
I was done posting in this thread for what should be obvious reasons, but I’ll say a few more things given the mod’s post above.
dinesh- You should have made this call several posts ago and deleted the offending content. It’s not right for someone to create an interesting thread on this site and get insulted and character assassinated with unfounded accusations from total strangers in the process. Worse yet, you backed some of them up by saying “my history” was relevant to the discussion.
This is also why this site is losing so many of its contributors, including me. I.e., why we can’t have nice things. In addition to the Omaha strat forum, I am done contributing to this forum. This is a loss to the site on many levels given my history of new and discussion-engendering content, but for me it’s the right move. I’m tired of being bullied here. I will not be a punching bag anymore for a bunch of anonymous keyboard warriors who suffer no consequences.
Please don’t take this as me caring too much about what anyone here thinks about me. But the attacks do take a slight emotional toll that makes posting much less appealing.
It’s pretty paradoxical, you reach a level of success some only dream of and get very little if any respect for it, on a poker strategy site no less. To me that’s a poor reflection of where this community’s priorities lie. We should be suporting each other, not tearing each other down, and looking up to those who have reached a very high level of play. Learning from each other’s occasional goofy mistakes but being understanding. The comments here could have been much more constructive but they took an ugly turn.
I hope my departure here sends a message to the community and mods and makes the site better in the long run. Thanks to everyone who posted well-meaning responses here and in the past.
