That's just... bizarre.
PPA isn't a for-profit group offering to sell a service. It's us working together for our rights. Help is always welcomes. What's not are people who act angry that they aren't getting what they feel they are owed, yet who won't go out and figure out a better way either.
The poker community is responsible for its own success. We should all be writing and calling our lawmakers, participating in the daily action plan, encouraging others to organize and fight back, etc.
Nonsubstantive attacks on PPA because we're in a tough fight don't really accomplish anything as far as i can tell. If you have an idea on how to improve, please share. OTOH, people who complain that it's a tough fight really aren't bringing anything new to the table. We all know it's a tough fight. Too bad we aren't all acting like it.
