Also as a winning poker player one would not mind any people questioning if online poker is rigged, it would help keep it to be run legitimately if this is the case.
I am a winning player online and live (1 for 1 in WSOP cashes - quick brag). I also spend a lot of time helping manage a very busy coaching site, so while I am still crushing opponents as I have always done, I am spending more time in other poker areas as well.
People can question whatever they like, but if they have a massive flaw in their logic I see no problem pointing that out. That's what message boards like this are for, and it is a bit fun at times. If doing so creates a shill label that's fine with me as that shows their flawed thinking is not swayed by a logical response, which is often times the reaction I want to create.
If Donko wants to theorize that a huge team of marketing people, programmers, managers and others are creating massive programs to categorize people for boom switches and doom switches for the millions of hands they deal every day that is his right. It's impractical and insane and paranoid, but he has the full right to believe in what he wants.
One thing that being part of the grind for years as a player and coach and a person who has analyzed and extracted value from systems for years has demonstrated is that I can sadly tell you that life and patterns of human behavior are pretty mundane and rarely surprising.
Donko's vision of how the conspiracy could work would be fun if true. That's not how life works.
In the end:
Donko is a standard marginal player with paranoid tendencies
You are a standard gimmick account troll wannabe that got a bit tired of his routine and started reverting to who you actually are. Likely a smaller stakes player who never won or lost much so a thread like this gives you emotional value to make up for the lack of any real poker career. Don't worry, I know you will never say your user name to disprove this (part of that whole human behavior is easy to predict thing...)
Arouet is the nice guy who will eventually snap one day after realizing the futility of being nice to paranoid riggies
qpw3/Wiki is the "shill" who will never give up. Ever :P. Eventually this thread will be him replying to himself only
I am the standard arrogant guy who picks on other arrogant people, jerks and nutjobs for fun, while I have a softspot for genuinely decent people.
Human behavior is mundane and easy to predict for the most part, which is why massive conspiracies that require hundreds of people to be in on it with in this case no real financial gain just fail the common sense test.
1) Play better than opponents
2) Play often
Really is that easy (well easy for those who are self-aware enough to properly do step 1)

Cool exercise for you as you continue to not improve your game. Answer these questions
How many of us are "in on it?"
Define what a legitimate business means. How is this industry not legitimate?
This is me having fun with you by the way in case you can't figure out the human behavior at work.
All the best.
