Sklansky.. what's in a name? An analysis:

S: S is a good letter, one of the best in fact. Beginning letter of Superman. Coincidence? I think not!
Klan: A group of people. Sklansky brought many poker players together. He helped build and forge a true community!
Sky: The limit to which can be achieved with the study of his theories on poker!

You hear that Madlex, Videopro, et al.?, Lou has greenlit the return of the Druff bans thread for the Ban #2 installment!

Two Plus Two also had and still does a publishing side. However, the traffic on our Books Forum had slowed down, so we decided to move all of that information into this forum which was the busiest forum on this website.

Is there a problem with that?

By the way, we'll shortly be publishing a new book (which will be announced as soon as it's available) that will give us 21 authors we pay royalties to.

I would consider that strong evidence that my side of the story is persuasive.
Is this referring to me?

In this thread, instead of Kilowatt, the poster's name was originally Toilet Bowl. The name was changed after reinstatement of the poster. But you can see in some of the posts where another name was posted and that the original name was Toilet Bowl. I sugges you read Posts Nos. 61, 252, 297, 303, 357, 377 (is very important), 380, 381, 384, 386 (also very important), 404

I'll save you guys the trouble, in case you don't feel like reading all these old posts and trying to make sense of the situation.

As previously mentioned in this thread, I was banned by Mason in early 2008 for "guilt by association" because Micon was publishing Sklansky's e-mails to Brandi, and exposing that entire situation. Once again, I did not get involved in this matter, but got banned anyway.

Almost two years later, in November 2009, I decided to make a fake account here in order to post about important matters in poker -- mainly about issues with poker sites. I called that account "Toilet Bowl", because I was playing under that name at the time on Bodog. A look at my posts between the account's registration date and March 2013 when it was outed, will reveal that my posts were of high quality.

Rich Muny was the one who outed me, when my questioning of PPA tactics seemed a bit too familiar to him. While I was irritated with Rich at the time, we have since gotten over that issue, and have gotten along well for years.

Anyway, I was pretty sure that Mason was going to instaban me, upon learning of this. To my pleasant surprise, he didn't. As you'll see from that thread Mason linked, I immediately offered to bury the hatchet with him, and wanted to put the bad blood behind us.

When it was made clear I could stay on 2+2, I was happy, and I asked them to change my name to "Dan Druff", so everyone would know it was me.

I was told I couldn't post as Dan Druff, because seeing the name 'Dan Druff' got David Sklansky mad!

I kid you not. That was the reason given. Apparently David was only willing to coexist with me here if I posted under a different name (even though it was fine to tell everyone it was me). Absurd, or what?

So I chose the name Kilowatt, in refernce to the very first online poker name I used in January 2001.

So what happened to Kilowatt?

Well, Kilowatt was banned twice -- neither time for breaking any 2+2 rules.

I'll let Mason tell the peanut gallery about those last two bans, if he so desires. I'm sure you're all on pins and needles.

You have your own podcast and forum. The fact that you keep coming back here is extremely pathetic. It’s been over 10 years. 2+2 is dying. Is your life so empty that you need this kind of crap to fill it? Obviously the answer is “yes”. Move the **** on, dude. Get a life.

I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drug store, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by. Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck here!

This is it! This is the answer! It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04 PM next Saturday Night! If we could somehow... harness this lightning; channel it into the Flux Capacitor, it just might work. Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!

I think that's obvious (unless you're referring to some lady holding a torch in NY Harbor).

I believe that phrase should read "...that will give us 21 authors to whom we pay royalties."

Ok enough about Saura. I'd like to hear a little more about Sklansky's plan to steal Prahlad Friedman's wife as he outlines here:

That's by far the most prominent reason traffic is down, not bc DN, or you or even dozens of others got banned bc of Mason's (and to be fair, the banned user's) ego/rules/dick swinging. That doesn't mean some of those decisions were hurtful to the forums, but by far those macro reasons hurt the forum traffic versus what you mention.
Nope, you're wrong. It was overmoderation that killed 2+2.
