Please, send us some stories because happy, well adjusted people with no substance abuse issues have so many entertaining stories.
Dan Druff, what about you post a funny poker story here instead of a scam story on your site ? Oh wait, you conservative bastions of free speech won’t fill the content vacuum that Limon leaves behind? What will I do to pass the time now that super lib Limon is canceled? (He’s a blue dog and you all know it) Maybe politics, crime rates, and narcissism do not matter on a poker forum. Druff it’s been over a decade since you’ve been on this site, can you post some engaging content on here for free?
As you've mentioned, I've got my own forum. I post on 2+2 when I feel like it, but I'll never be a reliable regular here. I was gone for a long time because Mason kept banning me for extremely silly reasons (much sillier than Limon's current ban). I came back when the new owners took over.
My forum is actually a mostly free speech place. Much more than 2+2. I wouldn't have locked or banned a thread like limon's. However, I also wouldn't have tolerated a user telling me to F off when I give him guidance about the site rules. You need to show at least a modicum of respect to whomever is running the place you're visiting.
I don't care about Limon's politics. I've debated him at times on Twitter regarding political matters, but it was impossible to have a serious discussion with him, because he immediately degenerated into simplistic one-liners and insults. Limon isn't a dumb guy, but he has the emotional IQ of a 4-year-old, and that won't ever change.
I'm a conservative, but I have several liberal friends, and I've never once taken it personally when someone has a different political view than I do.
I don't even think Limon understands why he's politically liberal. His entire message seems to be advice regarding self sufficiency, picking yourself up by your bootstraps, making your own luck, and not making excuses for failure. These are generally conservative principles, yet the guy has the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) I've ever seen, and he would definitely fellate Biden if given the chance. I think at some point when he was much younger, someone taught him that Democrats were the good guys and Republicans were the bad guys, and he never bothered to question it.
I've spoken to far-left Democrats before with whom I have nothing in common politically, but at least they can articulate their worldview, with their politics matching their personality and life philosophy. Limon's politics don't even match what he seems to generally believe. It's very weird, but introspection has never been the guy's strong point.
