to be fair, I made my comment this morning before reading qpw's similar one and the resulting fracas. it was easy to get lost in the mix.

I often find myself about to make a post and see that KoF has said basically the same thing too. I think I'm gonna stop sleeping to prevent that phenomenon in the future.

QPW: pointing out the typo was petty, the rest was fine, and perhaps because it was TK: necessary.

LV: when you want to point out that someone is over-reacting, perhaps its better to do it in a manner that could not also be characterized as over-reacting. The point you were trying to make was: when you point out petty things, it detracts from the greater critique.

Friends again?

The man has spoken. Well put (it was tk.. I lost myself there for a minute). I must admit, being the man that I am, I over-reacted somewhat.

I must also admit that when I subjected myself to reading old_moose's long, drawn out, ridiculous claims, I was already pretty much tilted. Rigtards and conspiracy nuts have that effect on me. People who sleep with 8 year olds and sheep (or the mere mentioning of it) can cause a similar effect. My apologies..

I'm sorry if that upset you.

It really wasn't supposed to be taken at face value. More as an abstract example of how offensive it could be if someone made such an unfounded allegation.

I'll avoid using that particular example in future.

Hmmm, why would you compare having sex with 8 year olds and sheep to.....well.... anything? Is that the first thing that seriously comes to your mind? I find it odd that nobody else finds that disturbing.

How the **** can you justify associating me and my name w/ molesting children and ****ing sheep? You really want to take this to another level?

I understand what your point was and your an unoriginal little worm. I believe the same anology was used a long time ago in this thread. I find your bringing up sex w/ 8 year old children to be very disturbing. How do you feel that's relevent?

Perhaps being a social recluse has caused you to be the one that is dillusional?? You probably have some sort of social complex developed from not leaving your house for weeks at a time? Do you even shower? Are you just pissed off you have no life nor any friends outside of this forum? Who brings up 8 year olds like that out of nowhere? Why are you a credible resource again?

The "it was TK" refers to the fact that you often don't appreciate arguments when they're done subtly, so he had to hit you over the head with his point.

TK, I think to some extent you mean well, you see injustice or potential injustice and you "go after it". However, the upshot is you seem to become tunnel visioned: you look for evidence to support your point and ignore the evidence against it.

Probably the best example is in your last few posts where you have already dismissed whatever results spadebidder comes up with in his huge hand analysis, based solely (as far as I can tell) on the basis that his data came from Indiana's website and Indiana is also a well known botter and cheater. You dismiss well thought out arguments without a thought, and barely acknowledge them as legitimate, without providing any analysis whatsoever. You label people shills and therefore ignore what they have to say.

If you really want to get at the truth, you need to keep an open mind and approach this from a more skeptical attitude: examine the arguments, look at the data that is being presented to you, and come up with a conclusion. What you have done is smelled a rat and you now imagine that it is caught in your trap, when all that's there is cheese.

Only when I think of you, tk.

Do you have evidence that no one else finds it disturbing?

Only for once there is evidence in contradiction of your impression.

I find it odd that any unsubstantiated claim of malfeasance isn't considered disturbing.

Well, I'm screwed under those conditions. I'm a terrible speller, and I'm not going to take the time to spell check posts here. This is generally time I spend between hands, or between tasks at work, or sometimes even posts made from my cell phone. So, it's a rush job. I pat myself on the back if it comes out in something resembling English.

The data came from a well known commercial datamining site. Indiana just obtained it, I assume he got a deal where he didn't have to pay their regular rates (or anything).

Nah, you'd go to sleep long before you got half way through and you'd probably wake up feeling a lot better.

He's clearly selecting a particularly inflamatory example to illustrate how stupid you and others continue to be. As you rightly point out it has been done several times before but for some reason you still don't understand.

maybe this is in the wrong spot, but I was checking some results earlier and saw one that is pretty unusual.
anyone know who N1NJ4.BR is on Pokerstars? He came in 2nd in last week's Sunday million for a nice $172,832.00 cash. The problem I see is where did he come from? I looked him up on top shark and I see a couple of $1.00 double or nothing tourney in 2008 and then last month he did 5 very small buy-in SNG's and now he pays a full buy-in to the Sunday million and comes in 2nd on his first shot? pretty strange to me..

Google is your friend. He did a Well a long time ago on 2+2. Here is the link: http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/...8107670&page=0

Apparently he is fairly well known in Brazil and had a huge Brazilian rail when he was at the FT on the Sunday Million.

If you're looking for something suspicious, I think you'll have to look elsewhere.

Anyone here about this Moneymaker guy? He plays a $40 donkament on Stars, luckboxes his way to winning a seat in the WSOP Main Event, then luckboxes his way to first, worth $2.5 million. Pretty strange to me.....

People, please understand this, online poker is the biggest scam of all time. I used to do some programming for one of the online sites. If you think you are playing a real game of poker, you are just another poor soul being parted from your hard earned money. Dont let the shills cover up the real truth about what is happening. They are paid to twist everything around on you so that you feel too dumb to pursue further research and action.
