blonde poker forum

Some think the  /:-| are just sucking up to Blonde. Waiting until the big cash starts rolling in
to try and grab, or be offered a slice of the money pie. Nice on the outside.

Sell your soul to the Devil  ;goodvevil; for Tuppence

Just an observation.


regards.

M

Eh!??  I dont get it Mpower, is this a joke, or are you having a dig or are you trying to out someone?

I may be whooshing but I dont get it.

 :dontask: :dontask: :dontask: :dontask:

I hope I don't understand it.

Whoosh?

Errrr

rotflmfao

I personaly find this post very insulting.

Don't judge others by your own standards.

Is there any coincidence to the fact that he waited till BB3 weekend to post, so that most of the regs wouldn't be able to respond?

Tikay seems to say on regular basis how they didn't start either the forum or the poker room to make oodles.

M you are usually one of the more civil posters, can you please explain what looks like an outright attack on the mods?

To be fair its probably none of my business but I think if you post something like that you should atleast explain what you are on about.

I don't blame you mate, not nice at all.

I am not very bright, I don't understand ?   

Please keep things simple and don't use large complicated words  :)     thanks  :D

Phew  thought i was the only one ,  :dontask:

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about - in my opinion of course.

I'm not going to deign the original post with a detailed reply, everyone knows that the mods are and will remain volunteers ....suffice to say its been a fabulous weekend for blonde with a GREAT event, and it was good to meet up with many new and old friends.

A prize for the best photoshopped pic of a mod to be a rocker?

Mods? Rockers? Punks?

Gimme a call when you get to the new wave...

Like that?

"Like a Robot from nineteen eighty four...." indeed. :)

The mods do a great job for our benefit.  However I have noticed something worrying recently during the $5 extended STT games when Kev is playing.  He seems to have incredible luck and the cards always fall for him.  Since his move to senior mod level, I can't help but feel that tikay has given him permission to use the secret password that deals AA, KK and AK when ever he wants them. I think Claw, ifm, RobertHM and all the other regulars have been let into the secret by Kev as well.  That is the only thing I can think of as a reason why I always get beaten.

"Solidarity, Brother..."   :D

 :D

Or we are just better......................

Impossible.  I am the 1988 conkers champion of Saline, if I can win at that then poker should be easy

John

Seeing as I know you, I am very disappointed by your comments and I sincerely hope that you didn't make them.

I am not sure if it is/was the demon drink that prompted that post JG but I for one will expect an apology. Feel free to send it by PM if you are not the sort to do so in "public"

Accuse in public, apologise in private?

No thanks!

Are we sure the origional post WAS indeed by M.

Doesnt sound like the M i know.


Just a thought, before everyone has a go at him sort of thing.

I think this post should be removed immeadiately. I do ont who wrote nor do I care. It is offensive in a way that is particularly distasteful. Please get rid of it.

There you go, how to spoil the mood after a wonderful weekend.....

I have known John (MPower) for many years, well before blonde, & he has always been a good mate. We have never crossed swords. I am horrified & very upset by his Post, assuming it came from him, & I'm totally perplexed by it.

I simply don't understand his Post, not at all, & until the dust settles, I don't intend to comment further, except to say.....

I have been brutally honest with the blondes about the "goings on" behind the scenes, the shareholders concerns, our finances, the Mods, the future of blonde, everything. I have never, at any time, suggested that the Mods have been, or wlil be, given shares in blonde. They have no shares, & have not been promised any, they have never been paid, & never will. People don't Mod for money, it's a calling. blonde revolves around the Forum, & the Forum is what it is because of the Mods.

I have non-blonde business to attend to this morning, & will be offline, I only came briefly on as this thread had been reported to me overnight. I'd like to think, all things being what they appear to be, that MPower will have publically apologised to the Mods by the time I return. They don't deserve to be insulted like this, & I know that several of them are deeply offended. For my part, I apologise that the Post has been made.

Many feel the same Phil, judging by the shed-load of PM's I've received. But it's already been viewed nearly 300 times, so it can't really be swept under the carpet by deletion at this point. The Mods have requested that it remain up until an apology is received - who am I to argue, given the situation? They feel they want the Members to judge for themselves.

I must say, all this is very upsetting.

This is startling, I wonder what brought it on?

There is no need for you to apologise Tony, you are not the one making silly accusations. I say save your apologies for when you are  in the wrong mate.

Regards

Billy

I don't think he wrote this, but if he did - he deserves to be banned in my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't ban someone for having an opinion mate, this forum is all about free speech, The guy has an opinion, Many believe this to be wrong, me included, but I think a ban is the wrong way to go.

regards Billy

I understand Billy, but I just feel they deserve an apology. Some of them are extremely miffed about this.

He will not be banned for expressing an opinion.

The blondes will judge for themselves.

The mods do deserve an apology but not from you mate, You have been offended as much as the mods have in the post in question and let John be the one to make amends

I'm normally the first to defend a persons right for "freedom of speech" and critical of any form of censorship but I just don't understand the intention of the initial post other than malice. I'm intrigued to know why the first post was made and what John (if he did make the initial post) hopes to achieve by it.

Having met a few of the mod's at BB3 for the first time I appreciate what a lot of work they do in the interests of blonde and understand they do it purely as a vocation and "some for ego"  :D) (note it's a gag, honest).

If John did make the initial post then he should either make:

1) make a public apology as his attack was made on a public forum ( I agree with Red's  "Accuse in public, apologise in private? No thanks!), or
2) at least explain the reasons for the post because at the moment it just seems a personal attack without any basis which may or may not infact be the case.

A stupid post, but you guys know what WE all think of you - and that is what counts

Just to clarify as I have been asked to do so, John made a jokey PM to me last night about his post, it was definitely him wot rote it guv!

Could this be a joke gone wrong Tighty?

This is a joke that went wrong.

He doesnt mean it.

Quite possibly. For gone wrong read "spectacular own goal"!

Then one total apology should be forthcoming NOW

I think so as well.  He will probably be more surprised than anyone when he comes on here later

Very probably, let's hope so. I am sure MPower will clarify the position in due course. He's been a true & loyal friend to me over many years, & I just want this thing to go away & life continue as before. I am in a very awkward spot here. John is a bud, always will be, so are the Mods, but I can't allow them to be insulted like this & say nothing.

As Tikay said, the mods don't do this for money - they do it because they love this place and without mods, it could descend into the chaos seen on a million other forums on the web.

I don't think Blonde is a goldmine right now, ready to spit out money like a malfunctioning fruit machine. Tikay assured us that the new Ferrari he turned up in at BB3 was borrowed from a friend and he kindly took time out from browsing through a yacht brochure to post on this thread and clarify things.

Once he's finished this morning's meeting with Roman Abramovich and the Sultan of Brunei, I'm sure he'll be back on here attending to our needs.

I have heard that arriving by helicopter is the way to go these days  :D

When I read it, I thought that the main post was mocking those that think the Mods are doing it for the money (with the inclusion of the tuppence/sell your soul to the devil comments).. and the title was just a play on the mods vs (punk) rockers movement, with no insult meant

Anyways,  the mods and Tikay know what the vast majority think of their dilligence on here <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

best wishes

Hmmm, I am at a loss for words trying to understand the thinking behind this original post.  However, if the scenario where blondepoker came into a nice windfall which allowed the shareholders to make a financial gain and they chose to reward the mods for all the work they have put into this site, I will be applauding and saying "well done and it is nice to see people making money the old fashioned way - from putting in the hours to deliver a high quality service"!!!!!

After Saturdays cash game I'm not sure he's buying anything!  rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

'tis true, I did my bo**ocks, big time.

I got a steal past Pab & it went to my head! True to form, he ended up with all the money, & I did plenty. And a set of Tens against Dingdelll's flopped nuts did not help......And a flopped flush against Chili's flopped nut flush, beautifully diguised, added to the woe. And when the Thewster Raiaed it up & I caught two pair on a 4-5-6 flop, how could I put him on 2-3?

But I bluffed one past Pab, & that's the main memory. Skint, but happy, a phyrric victory if ever there was one.

This must be a backfired joke!!!
Mpower is a well respected poster and I believe person.

I think everyone on this forum respects the effort ALL the Mods put in, which makes this THE best forum around.

I do really REALLY hope this is a backfired Joke and hope Mpower comes on later to clarify.

If this first post was about anyone else it would be deleted ASAP, but all power to the Mods for leaving it up and keeping it open.

sorry people i have to agree with John though

last year when tony rang me up and asked me to keep an eye oin the forum while he was airbourne going to do a live update i thought to my self this will be a nice earner eventualy  i will get send tikay a bill for my time

nows time to cash up tony my rates are £10,000,000 a week but can we keep it a secret from the taxman because i dont want to pay the upper rate of income tax :D

ps if you prefer we can stick to our usual aranagement of a beer every now and again  when we meet up i much prefer that anyway cause i would just lose my wages to some sucker in an online game and atleast i get a kick out the beer

In the absence of oodles has anybody considered paying the mods in noodles?

 :D

oh, this has gone "pasta" joke now..... 8)

Oops!!

More bad puns in this thread than you would expect in The Sun newspaper

Steady now, or Suffolk Punch will be after you.

well ... I was gonna ignore this post and put it down to the drunken ramblings of someone who was upset at not coming to the bash.

But after some thought, perhaps we should offer him the chance to become a mod himself .... perhaps if he actually ever turned up at a blonde Bash and saw how fkin hard everyone works to make sure he can just turn up, play some cards, have a beer and socialise.. he might not be so quick to criticise.

I cant think what you hoped to achieve by posting this Jon, I am extremely dissapointed by your actions, however you intended them to come across.

Pfft whats he gonna do, pun me to death??

Well he could Suffolkate you, or he could Punch you.

Make you read The Sun?

 ;snoopy'sguns;   ;ashamed;   ;izimbra;

I'd like to add my own observation for what it's worth. This is the only post MPower has ever made where he puts a "." after regards. In addition, he more often than not uses an uppercase R. Suggest this may in fact be a bogus post. It may not be, who knows, but I thought I would point this idiosyncracy out.

Did the Geneva Convention not outlaw all cruel and unusual punishment?  He would never get away with that one .... would he?    ;scarymoment;

The only thing scaryier than reading it would be having someone see me read it..... Shudder!! ;gobsmacked;

I agree, it's a bit draconian, & I apologise.

Thewy reads the Daily Mail, ffs!

I bet he only "reads" the Daily Mail for the free CD's & DVD's, I hear the latest one is a guide to playing poker.

Ok, but the person who made the post could also try and back it up by firing off fake PM's? I was just making an observation, no idea if it was posted for real or not.
