Jesus, he's so flippant when talking about players getting paid out their money. He really doesn't seem to care about anyone but himself. And he's making a video rant about a 1-day temp ban!? I can't believe I used to like this guy.

He came back to 2p2 for a period after we hugged it out, till he went on another psychotic episode and attacked Mason on Twitter during the Dutch Boyd case.

easily one of the best albums of the 90s

Dnegs isn't wrong though, the way some bans are handed out create a lot of unnecessary contention. I understand the mods are just trying streamline and handle things efficiently but over the course of forum usage, there's going to be a lot of situations where people broke rules not knowing they were rules and/or with no malicious intent etc and then they get banned and it just feels messed up that some random person can treat a fellow adult like his own child

i think sometimes mods see so much of the bad that goes on here that they sometimes forget that those are outliers and we're mostly a community of peers

Co-sign on that being a terrific, woefully underrated album

His point about 2p2 customer service was beyond beyond. He wanted NVG to be run like starbucks, in reality it's by the people he used to walk past in vegas casino bathrooms. Surely he couldn't muster a joke then, of course the humor of a 1-day ban is beyond him.

The handicapped thing is HILARIOUS. I'm sorry, that's never going to stop being funny to me. It's just a spectacular self-own. I can't imagine myself doing such a thing as a semi-famous person putting my own name on my vanity license plate.

To top it all off, he even tried to claim that it was photoshopped LOL

The handicapped spot was in the area of the Rio fenced-off for the guys with their trucks, right? So there was no way for any handicapped person to park there anyway, I think. And him parking there, as a result, didn't matter one bit. Just a footnote.

Agree 100%, there was some real talent there and some of those songs still hold up today. Although I suspect that Kurt Cobain wrote or help write many of those songs, which explains thy that band fell off so fast after his death.

Just for the record, there isn’t any evidence at all that Kurt had anything to do with the songwriting on that album. Also, there are other band members in Hole who participated in the song writing and they also deny that Kurt wrote any of it. Also, several of the songs, including Doll Parts, were written and played on tour before Courtney met Kurt.

I also wouldn’t say that Hole “fell off so fast” considering their next album was released 4 years later and received multiple Grammy nominations.

Finally, considering Courtney is a Golden Globe nominated actress and that she had touring and recording success before meeting Kurt, it is just super likely that she’s very talented. The notion that the wife of someone super talented can’t also be super talented is pretty old-fashioned... that’s all I’m saying.

That was a different chapter in the Danny/Mason feud. The charity was legit. The funds were stolen by one of Todd Witteles' ex-friends and organizer of the fund raising venture.

Danny took strong exception to 2p2 policy of not allowing any charity discussions on this site that Mason or his lawyers didn't fully vet. He went full rant on his form. This policy meant that virtually no charities get mentioned in NVG. Turned out the policy has strong solid reasoning.

Mason wrote a check to the charity to cover the stolen funds. Danny never recognized this or apologised for his rant.

And just to follow up on this, here's a thread on Negreanu's own website from eight years ago:

https://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-f...omment-3563705

Make sure to read these posts:

https://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-f...omment=3563990

https://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-f...omment=3563992

https://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-f...omment=3564037

and when it came out that there was a scam involved and our "No Solicitation for Money Policy" was correct, we never got an apology (and are still waiting).

Best wishes,
Mason

He said he’s making a “statement” tonight at 6

Hate the apologetic culture we are in. Don’t even like DNegs but what a clown for having to apologize. Should double down on his rant.

He’s not doing this because he wants to, he’s probably forced to or else he loses his latest teet to suckle, GGPoker.

GG might not care too much about the damage to Negreanu's image, but I imagine they must not be happy about him getting banned from Twitch.

Where did he announce that he's making a statement? I don't see anything about it on Twitter.

He said it during his YouTube broadcast yesterday. He said it’ll be on YouTube , not twitch. He said 6pm so I assume 9 est time.

He did double down on his comments Carl. Lol. He’s going to give a fake apology. I agree, he shouldn’t be forced to apologize, but he wants to get paid so he will. When you’re a sponsor go ahead and say what you want till you get canned.

Yep... and that **** annoys me. But it is what it is.

The smart people will see through the BS, and the sheep may think it’s sincere. It’s just pointless because I would assume most people know it’s forced and fake, which makes it pointless and just “a thing to do” which , I think is a major problem with the US and the world having to put on a circus act.

I agree with what you’ve said here. I’m not sure that Kat Bjelland and Jennifer Finch would agree with the Courtney “is very talented” part though.
