Someone posts a bunch of good advice, and the only thing in there that could have been remotely construed as negative is "There has been plenty of poor communications on both sides." As thanks, he gets this:

That player then has a gambling problem and should have that money taken from him if he chooses to play with it on that very same poker site? I am sorry but I don't feel the same way as you. I think that it is expected that if someone were to hit that jackpot that the player is going to play with some of it. That is the reason why they have this type of promotion. It isn't because they want to put money in my pocket, they want to put money in theirs. I played higher yes, that doesn't mean I have a gambling problem and that the funds should be stolen. It's hilarious to me that someone thinks that GG is acting correctly because someone is playing higher after winning a jackpot when the site will not allow him to cash out said funds. This is hilarious so thank you
Then when he disputes your characterization of his post, this:

Someone defends you against a troll, and you reply with this:

Watch, "I'm a loser because I had won $50K and I would like to use that money in my real life and not play poker with it. I'm a loser!
See I don't care and I'll do it again. If that makes me a loser then I'm a loser. If you would rather lose $50K that is rightfully yours but feel better about yourself by not being a loser and doing things that will help you get that money then go right ahead. I don't have to lie to myself and don't have to let people steal from me in order for me to consider myself not a loser or whatever it is that you consider yourself.
The post he was replying to was quoted, right there in his post. He wasn't calling you anything. He called the guy who was trolling you a loser.
You're in such a rush to "defend" yourself against anything and everything, you don't bother reading posts through before doing so. Even the tiniest slight gets multiple paragraphs from you. There are some people trying to help you. And there are some criticizing you. Pretty standard Internet fare, and thus I think it's kind of silly to waste your time replying every single time you think you're wronged - but if you're going to do that, at least try and sort out those who are helping from those who are trolling. It may just benefit you in the long run, keeping people willing to help you.
I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it if it hadn't happened before, more than once. It's hurting your cause, rather than helping it. Just like I'm trying, right now, to help you, even if you may not perceive it that way.
Best of luck to you.
