Throwing around baseless accusations of posting under some anonymous account at me is pretty douchey, especially because I'm probably the most open and transparent person in this thread by posting here under my own, real, uniquely-identifiable, name.
That suspicion was more meant to indicate what a strange way he chose to say that he agreed with someone and less as an indication of your character. I shouldn't have voiced that and I'm sorry.
Now, you may be the most transparent person posting here. You may also be the most knowledgeable about the inner workings of a poker site. In this case though, I think you are also the most biased. I don't think you are able to offer any real critique of pokerstars because they used to be your employer, your friends are the ones under fire here and in general, I don't think it's a good idea to badmouth your previous employer publicly if you wish to have the highest chance to get employed again.
From my POV - one of the most reputable and respectable companies I have ever had the pleasure to deal with is Pokerstars of ~2009 or whatever. Maybe you have a different perspective, since you had to deal with all the rigtards and whatnot but I would think most here agree. As far as I can see, people here are objective. You treat us well, we treat you well and put in a good word for you. You treat us bad, you get shots taken in NVG threads. I find PokerStars to be solely responsible for this us vs them mentality and it's pretty sad and annoying to see a previous employee not having any empathy for our side in this.
You seem to be under the impression that PokerStars gets undeservedly a bad rep here and people are being paranoid when they fear that rake might get increased in the near future. Is this correct?
What do you think about that Lee Jones statement? Do you think it's appropriate to not display the rake in the lobby in the first place? Do you think it's appropriate for him to congratulate himself on the communication PokerStars has taken with it's loyal customers in recent years?
Do you think it's reasonable for me to consider that SNEs of 2015 had money stolen from them and that "PokerStars were well within in their legal rights" is an unacceptable response to it?
Do you think people here are unfair toward Daniel Negreanu when they dismiss his opinion on anything regarding PokerStars because he gets a paycheck from them and tries to spin rake increases into positive things?
