I think it would be a useful service for somebody to transcribe that exchange for Terrence to read and reflect upon. Whether DQ was an appropriate penalty or not is debatable, and TCHan prefaced his remarks by stating that he agreed a strong penalty was required. It was the striking ignorance of several other comments that I found stunning.
Take my reaction for what it's worth. But I thought this was important enough to comment on that I went to great lengths just to post in this thread (reset my password, access an old e-mail address, etc). If I didn't have a busy family life and legal practice, i.e. was still a 20 something poker bum, I'd take the time to break down the specifics. Trust me, however, that from my perspective, Terrence's comments were truly remarkable.
I have nothing against Terrence personally. In fact, we have several friends in common and have run in adjacent circles for years. I know he is a smart and thoughtful person and greatly appreciate his continued involvement with the Pokercast. I do feel strongly, however, that he should mindfully review the substance of what he said on this episode and report back to us. If he finds nothing in that exchange with Adam to walk back, I will need to reconsider whether to continue listening.
