So it's ok for Doug to say whatever he wants because that's his "brand" or style. Phil isn't allowed to say whatever he wants because he's not Doug. Got it.

phil is allowed to act like doug but he shouldn't be surprised to get dougs "brand" and style when he does

Phil wrote a novel referencing famous quotes and mentioning the overton window. I wrote what 7 lines.

If Doug as a kid was anything like he is today, then yeah it comes with territory. Charlie I dont know enough about.

It’s usually the other way around, Doug became the way he is because he got picked on as a kid, bullied people become bullies

Not sure any child deserves to be picked on and even if one believes the ******* kids do deserve it those are usually the last ones to be picked on

toughen up...

The proper response is between 7 lines and what Phil did?

You're gatekeeping proper lengths of explanation.

Correct, it's been my job for years. Phil was unfortunately about 50 words over the limit.

Really irrelevant here, and you’d think it would be the opposite, because he claims he was abused you’d think he would not “show love for child molestors”. This reeks of a deflection.

Except that’s not what Charlie said, he said we need to “show love to child molestors”, not pedo’s (who may not act on it).

Was Charlie's tweet a confession of sorts? We know many child molesters were once molested themselves.

that is exactly what doug did, result of toughening up

not sure why people are twisting words here, a child molestor is a paedo simple as that

They are both the same thing (to the majority of the population, and either way they should be treated the same way , no middle/grey ground shoot them all.


Charlies Tweet was a deliberate narcissistic tweet/attention seeking, and left it open to peoples own thoughts hoping for a response so he could play sympathy card and he hit royal flush when Doug replied to it.

Very same when u see facebook posts from certain people like:

status update person A " oh my god you never guess what happened"

Person B "are u ok what happened"

Person A "i cant say on here"

Yeah I’m surprised that Galfond took the bait so readily.

nobody said child molestors weren t pedos, we said pedos arent necessarily child molestors, which is ... pretty obvious lol

Three posts mentioning a certain former president of the US have been deleted for obvious reasons.

That theory is for the people in gangs lol. Most people that get bullied end up being really quiet and nervous.

Dude are you a sociopath? Who comes up with this?

To whom are you speaking?

Don't forget that poker can be attractive also because it is designed to allow/reward/encourage participants to act deceptively and literally misrepresent themselves for financial gain at an opponent's expense. It is NOT "fraudulent" to do so, if done withing the rules of the game, and engaging in such deception is optimal.

As you said, "in the real world, you're getting punched quick".

Finally, poker also is attractive because it can alert you that you too can be deceived, tricked, bamboozled, and out-played, in a controlled game environment for learning/re-learning/remembering that lesson.

Guys, watch & subscribe, you too can be a victim of Doug Polk! What scam will he promote next?~ EXCITING!

I was bullied mercilessly in middle school for having bad acne.
I had zero friends and thought no one would ever like me or touch me the rest of my life
(turns out shaving with a razor was life-changing for me in my late teens, cleared up my skin tremendously)
To this day I dont dare tease or mock anyone since I never want someone else to go thru what I did
I teach high school and I am hyper-sensitive to anyone who teases others in a malicious way
I dont yell at the bully or publicly shame them in the moment,
I take em aside and have a serious talk about my experiences and how awful it is for them to do what they are doing.
It usually works, at least when I see them going forward

"Bullied people become bullies" is one route they take,
but some of us were so scarred from the experience we went the other way

I'm a fan of Doug's content, but the Berkey bashing did get a little out of hand and soured me a little on him.

I mean yes clearly not everybody reacts the same way to trauma, I was just pointing out this was a very common response
