when there is some sort of rational discussion about this topic I will conduct myself in a different manner.

Until then

This is a "great" debate, the roggedness of online?

I always thought it was a pretty weak debate.

But what do I know?

If the goal is getting in a huge "na na na na" fight with a guy who generally exists at that level anyway, then mission accomplished. Kind of takes away from any serious discussion.

Guess choice is yours.
It isn't a choice, though, is it.

We spend most of the time trying to promote ratiional arguments and add the occasion bit of snark (to use your expression).

When you take the trouble to explain something for the umpteenth time to try and make it clear and the ******ed one completely ignores your explanation and comes back with no logical argument but illiterate and irrelevant assertions that:

1) You must be a shill
2) You are offended by the idea that poker might be rigged
3) You are the same person who argued the non-rigged case last week

I see nothing wrong with adding a critique of said rigtards communication skills.

The court case thing was actually kind of funny, but not so much when it was about the 20th attack like that. At that point it just seemed a bit like a strange personal obsessive attack. Was still kind of funny though.

There was a thread about a year ago trying to do this for live poker in (I think) the probability forum, which was actually an interesting discussion. Not really sure what to suggest you do for a search to find it.

Well, it does set up an interesting scenario of whether one will turn on another (and as well his actual beliefs) to salvage some sort of moral victory doesn't it

I suspect the OP will somehow ignore tk, but this is a much more fun situation then correcting spelling.

LoL some lehman might come in here and read this garbage and take it the way you want them to. But it's appearant that you and marc are "companions." So are you two the same people? You spend your time promoting rational arguements about online poker being rigged? Could you provide references to that. Your the shill. You get offended that people say online poker is rigged. So how are you making any sense now? I'd fire the both of you and bring some people in with some P.R. skills...

Let's put this scenario into a court room...

Prosecutor Who Can't Debate: "Your honor, I think that tk is a childerne mulester. I'm not sure why but I can see petterns.

Judge: And what evidence do you present to the court?

Prosecutor Who Can't Debate: Well, none, your honer. Because even if I did, his lawyer would just pick it apart and say that it was just me being sad about my parents dying when I was a child and the contiyou'd manifestashun of blaming others for my own perpetyouel failyers.

Judge: Case dismissed!
I think my eharmony theory about you is more credible...go rollerskate w/ qpw. I think qpw stands for "Quietly" PenAtrating William...

We take exactly as much 'offence' as we would with someone proclaiming that the Martians were landing with no evidence whatsoever.

Personally, I think you are a child molester; I can see patterns in your posts and the timing suggest the same.

Natuarally, I don't expect you to get offended at that suggestion.
OK, so now i'm beginning to think your Bi-polar. B/c I thought it was you and your "gimtard" friends that said not to make any accusations with out any substancial proof? Well when did i say martians were landing anywhere? So somebody that thinks online poker might be rigged, is a useless organism such as a slug or worm? I would love for you to explain to the readers(with out them thinking your a shill. Or have alternative motives.)why you truely feel this way. I used to love playing madden 2008 for ps3, If anybody told me that game sucks and the computer cheats, I would never get this mad....However if i owned stock in madden and people were saying that it sucked, I would do exactly what your doing. Your proving my point. Any nobody has been able to prove this thread right here wrong! Gimtards are so predictable....

I really doubt they are, but unfortunately, those dumb enough to take you seriously are exactly the people I want to play against.

Of course, once they lose all their money they'll be prime recruiting material for you.

That child molester thing went right over your head, didn't it?

Clue: I have no idea about your sexual predilictions. I have no more evidence that you are a child molester than you have that OLP is rigged.

Worthless? They're anything but. They buy in, eventually lose their money, then they buy in again. Even when they become so convinced that it really is actually rigged they go and buy in at a live casino instead. So obviously these people are not worthless, they are contributers and appreciated by the few players who win in the long term.

Come on dude, get original how many times have you posted that poster? Still I dont know how a new player could come on this site and expect to believe or think that it's not rigged b/c they can't prove that it is? I'm not bashing the industry...I'm bashing you and your objectives...I think you guys are a bit obsessed or have your own agenda to push. That would be making sure that any bad press for online poker is immediatly shot down...why is that? If you Know that it's not rigged and that these sites can be trusted we would like to see some evidence of that. I wouldn't put my money into a bank if one person told me that bank was crooked....?

this is not a question.

you think people might come to 2+2 hoping to find evidence that it IS NOT rigged?

you really are having trouble with this, aren't you?

again - not a question. what is your problem with punctuation? (see? that was a question...)

so you're telling me that if some random yahoo on the street tells you that your local bank is crooked you'd immediately withdraw all your money from it?

sounds a bit naive to me, but hey, it's your money.

maybe it that twisted organ you use for a brain that makes sense, but most folks look for proof of wrong-doing before taking unfounded rumors as fact. especially when they come from a source as obviously unreliable as yourself.

yes you are. and I'm bashing your blatant stupidity. just 'cause it's fun to me. not for any other reason, tbh.

So, again you beat around the bush and can't answer the question....lol your so smart, you can use your spell check to use big words but you can't answer somebody's honest question. Are you going to troll the PPA forums too on this topic? How about the other forums? So who and why can we trust those organiZations that over see poker sites? What makes them so trust worthy? and again which poker site are you employed by. I think the public deserves to know your true motives....
