I can't stress enough how much Daniel hates my guts (he confirmed as much in today's "apology" video). So I'm sure that if he had any grounds to sue me, he would have by now.
First off let me tell you that I think you are a poker online legend. And I respect you for that. You had made me laugh with many of your videos. Although some were highly controversial but more on that later. Secondly Daniel negreanu is a live poker legend where it is very easy to find leaks in his personal game as he is on display all the time. You could do that to any person. And yet you picked Daniel here and that is no coincident imo. You wouldn't do that video to gain popularity if he was not no1 in the poker world (Who can I target to make fun of in the poker world that gets the most attention?)
I feel very strong about bullying and targeting people to make fun off. ("That's what social media is all about these days and it's sad", quote from the video I posted) more on that later.
Now I will focus on point 3 of your list:
I think that you forgot that there were dildos coming in and out of daniels mouth at the end of your video.
How do you think that wouldn't be a case of defamation
In any court of the world.
I cannot even show the middle finger to my neighbour and call him an ******* without risking a fine. And of course I cannot not publicly defame him on the internet with inserting dildos in his mouth.
That would be a case in any civil court of the world Imo.
And you know that! If he wanted to sue he could and would have every right to do so. The only reason he doesn't do it is that he accepted you as the class clown of the poker world and is a cool guy.
I think you realized after making the video about matt marafioti that you took it too far. This is a similar situation. You were making fun of him (without knowing the guy had serious mental problems) and he disappeared shortly after.
Its called cyber bullying and it has caused thousands of suicides. So I would take it very seriously.
So for the sake of people's mental well being and health in general but also to avoid getting you in trouble maybe you should give your videos some more considerations when it's at the cost of others and your only possible mo is to gain popularity with videos isn't it?
I'm not saying you had malicious intents! I think you are very intelligent person and understand my sentiments.
Ps. I know I'm not earning popularity in this forum by saying this. And I am talking to my poker heros here. (You are not exactly earning karma points by doing those videos either) But I felt that needed to be said.
