Sporting Events FAQ, Liveblog, and BANGERS - Page 366 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

well i don't want to reveal the contents of a personal pm here, but i basically said to needle "hey they don't seem like they're gonna stop; if they don't i'm gonna keep posting about it too." i interpreted his answer as a green light although maybe that was wrong.

not banned tho.

It's better to get all of the money than to just tax it.

And to Phildo, I wasn't going to respond to you, but in the chat we don't sit in a circle.

That's what I am saying. Using a poker term, the way this was handled was a giant angle shot.

If people want to participate in a high brow skype chat, Triumph and I have started a chatroom. Yesterday there was a 4 hour discussion about how Stan Brakhage was an influence for Metal Machine Music.

What's up with that?

rat brings up a good point here so i have changed my mind. pls ban me and tuq as well:

fwiw if further evidence is required i can find many more examples of that horrible bully tuq viciously attacking me in a very direct manner. sorry tucker, but can you b&c your own account? looking back through the history of it is very hurtful

2. Don't publicly ask for people to be banned.

This man is out of control, breaking all the rules.

Yeah Phil come on, I mean we all bend the rules occasionally in good fun but you're outright breaking them and I doubt the mods will let that stand. We don't want to lose you as a poster.

i mean isn't that why we're all here, or is it for the poker legislation talk and forum drama?

maybe we should blame the NFL lockout, because NO ONE wants to talk, or read, about that.

You assume there is a plan. There isn't. It's highly unlikely that the casino industry behemoths are working in concert with this one prosecutor. Though regulation may still be the end result, with harrahs/mgm/etc benefiting, I don't think that the agenda of anyone involved.
