Beat: Am a freak and a very weird dude. - Page 34 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

Actually no. At the one professional and properly-run company I worked for, something very similar happened, and while the employee in question (not me) got a very severe bollocking, no one was fired.

it really sucks that after the significant support Gobbo received in this thread (obviously discussions re his weight notwithstanding) that Gobbo didn't at least give us a gist of how Lederer apologised. After all what could he have possibly said?? "Jimmy sorry I insulted you. Now it has become public I want to assure you I actually don't think you're a freak or a very weird dude at all"

Come on Gobbo- you can at least give us a summary without upsetting Howard (who obviously you would want to protect given his courteous and respectful attitude towards you which originally began this marathon discussion)

ATTENTION.

I just received an apology letter from Mr. Lederer himself. He asked to keep it private, so I won't be saying anything other than the fact that he sent it and I accepted. He regrets saying what he said and said some other nice things. I think this thread has run its course now.

T-minus one hour until bacon sushi.

That's right, gobbo. Collude with HL and stiff all the people who supported you.

imho, i think this move was terrible on behalf of full tilts part. The full tilt logo on gobbos shirt would be bigger than any logo you could fit onto any billboard in nyc. bad move full tilt, bad move.

Still think its incredibly lame to post a letter that was abundantly clear howard lederer wouldnt want you to post and then not posting his apology because he asked you not to. ultra weak imo. It pretty much says "hey guy who was a ******, im sure your totally illegitimate apology is legitimate, lets bee friends".

meh... your failing to take in to account the fact that there was likely money involved. gobboboy is damn smart and im sure he is making the right decision based on info we dont have.

Just so you know, money wasn't involved in the apology. And I really don't see any point in bashing Howard now, I think it's fine what he said, it was mostly Newitt's fault for leaking it out.

9 pages and I finally read this thread. Delivers.

Also anyone who says they lost all respect for HL or that he is a complete dick doesn't know what they are talking about. He was pretty accurate and said it in confidence that FTP employees aren't complete idiots. That was his mistake.
