Title: ICHUC ENGLAND TEAM IS ANNOUNCED
Post by: Colchester Kev on October 21, 2006, 03:47:25 PM
On November 4th Team England (managed by yours truly) will take on Wales, Ireland & Scotland in a 4 nations heads up event at the Fitzwilliam club in the fine city of Dublin.

The England team, in no particular order are ...... (blonde name in brackets)

Flushy (Capt)        (Royal Flush)
Jen                     (Djinn)
Pab                     (Pab)
The Claimer          (Action Man)
Booder                (booder)
PavtheCat
Internet qualifier 1 (a policeman i believe)
Internet qualifier 2

So there you have it, wish us luck and lets see if the taffs & the Jock and the Irish can name a team that can compare with the strength , skil, and drinking prowess that Team England have in abundance.

ENGERRRRLAND ENGERRRLAND ENGERRRRRLAND !!!! :)

Good luck team Blonde.

I'm not sure there is a 'Team Blonde', as such.  What I mean is, isn't is possible that the Micks, Taffs, and Jocks have Blondes on their teams?

[Hmmm, are those terms really P.C.? Not sure. Don't care.]

Jen is not English anyway.

PS. Don't think you're allowed to mention vcpoker.com around these parts.

Edit Note: (link deleted) you are allowed to mention them, just not link to them :)

Ah, but this is flawed thinking, because it depends entirely on how each individual user's browser is set up -- something waaay beyond Blonde's control!

For example, what about a user running Firefox with the 'Linkification' or 'Text Link' extensions?  (These automatically turn all text links into hyperlinks.)

If you are going to censor, you might as well do it properly huh.

Look, in this thread you have allowed a rival cardroom's URL to be posted, as long as it isn't hyperlinked.

But sometimes, in the same circumstance, you instead star out the URL completely so it is unreadable.

Other times, you just delete whole threads when a link is posted -- and the example I am thinking of was not even a direct link to a cardroom, but a link to a site that had a small rakeback banner at the top.

Of course I want BlondePoker to prosper, more so than the average Blonde.  And I agree that the 'free advertising' of rival rooms is bad.  But that isn't what this is about.

The problem is that there is nothing worse than inconsistent censorship.  This is the point I tried to make (perhaps badly) earlier in this thread.  The fact is, you censor links in an arbitrary fashion.  No, I didn't sugar-coat my words; but I made a reasonable point and I was not rude.

However, the response I get is a personal jibe from a Moderator and the wild accusation that I delight in making things harder for everyone.

I really do appreciate that a huge amount of effort is put in by the Moderators and the whole Blonde team.  However, on this occasion I feel that your response was out of line.

I dont care what you think, after all, im only a volunteer.... have a nice day, and can we get back to the point of the original post, and wish the England team good luck.
