Those aren't the right questions.
Um, yes, they are. You've accused people of being paid to post in this thread, and I've asked you to prove it. Of course, rather than doing so, you've sidestepped the question. And then later asked them to prove they
don't work for a poker site. How the **** do you propose they do that? Would you like them to invite you to shadow them 24 hours a day for a few months? You've made the accusation, you need to prove it or stop making it.
And LOL at you responding seriously to the "Real Deal" stuff. You seriously don't understand what they're doing? You can't see they're just twisting around your techniques and using them against you?

I used to do this all the time too. I finally got tired of arguing with people that refused to listen to reason. I guess they haven't. I did it because all of the rigtards that start the "poker is rigged" threads with no evidence hurt online poker in several ways:
1) They make it more difficult for anyone else who actually has some real evidence, but is now more likely to get shouted down right away.
2) They create an environment where these people are unwilling to post, because they see the massive arguments that have erupted.
3) They may be scaring players away from the game for no reason.
4) They make truly shady sites like Cereus seem like the norm. "Well, if all online poker is rigged, I might as well play at Cereus. They have good bonuses".
I'm sure there's lots more I can't think of right now, as it's 2:37 and I'm tired.
Just to give you an idea of what we're up against and why I gave up - several months back, one of these stupid threads started up again. This was when we had several per week. But the interesting thing was that some actual discussion of real evidence started happening. So I took that thread, which started off with the usual rigtard crap, and pulled out the good stuff. I started a new "Data Analysis" thread and put all the good stuff in it. Of course, a month or two later, it died.
Sick of all the rigtard threads every week, I started merging them all together into this monstrosity we have here. Surprise, surprise, it's been a huge hit.
The rigtards have no interest in actual discussions involving logic or reason. Or evidence. They have no interest in actually doing anything about the problem they perceive. They just want somewhere that they can climb to the top of the mountain and yell "IT'S RIGGED!!!!". So, that's what we've given them. Enjoy!
