tony, please add this to your backlog.
i recently posted a thread which was later removed due to some supposed flaming on a different matter irrelevant to the thread. although the "villian" of the piece was unnamed i think most could/have guessed that it was you i was relaying the story about.
anyway what i would like is to hear your side of the story, did it happen? did it happen the way it was reported?and if it did happen you thoughts and reasoning behind your actions.
in case your unaware of what im referring to please speak to tighty or vinnie im sure they can point you in the direction of the thread on the deleted threads board.
regards
paul
Thanks, Paul, but I have no intention of responding, beyond this Post, & people must come to whatever conclusions they so wish. I've been playing Live Poker for many a year, so thousands of players have the ability to form a view based on playing with me down the years.
There was a Mods Board debate about the thread which ran to 3 pages, & to which 7 Mods contributed, but I never commented upon it once, I have better things to do with my time these days. You may have noticed that for some time now I have avoided the contentious blonde threads, & getting pulled into arguments that neither party can win, I can't be doing with all that stuff any more, though others are welcome to.
You may not be aware, either, but to set this in context, I'm getting serial dissed on several Facebook pages, largely by "anons" hiding their identity, in some cases by acquaintances, & I have studiously avoided commenting or replying on any of them, nor do I ever intend to.
It was stepped up a gear whilst I was in Vegas, with a series of e-Mails sent to different Execs of Sky Poker, including the Managing Director, accusing me of "inappropriate" behaviour towards females in Vegas. Yup, they really said that, though in more detail.... Again, I just ignored all this. It goes with the territory, I guess. Incredibly, the e-Mails purported to come from one of the Sky Poker Execs, but in fact were clear forgeries, using a "copycat" e-Mail address. Lovely.
So there seems to be a bit of a campaign in progress right now, but I can honestly say it does not bother me one iota, my life has moved into a new phase & I'm just winding down peacefully now, & I ignore it all, & paddle my own canoe quietly.
This Diary also largely avoids toxic stuff, & I'd rather like to keep it that way if possible. You have my e-Addy & phone number, & we bump into each other @ Luton now & then, if you wish to debate the matter further via those mediums, feel free.
Thanks.
PS - Congrats, belatedly, on your recent addition to the family.

firstly thank you for congrats on the birth of my daughter bethany, she is doing very well and is a month old tomorrow.
secondly im sorry but your reply is a cop out. it isnt a reply to me as i asked but a dig at the sad individuals who as you state are anonymously trying to deflamate your character.
as you no tony i'm not made that way,if i have something to say il say it to you so please dont tar me with the same brush as those idiots.
your reply is very clever and detracting from the point in question, so why not answer the point in question with a unaminous NO if it didnt happen. if thats the case il accept your answer and move on, but if it did happen like i know it did i think it would be nice as a figure in poker that people look upto could explain why he feels this sort of behavior is acceptable and not consider in any shape or form to be seen as collusion?
regards
paul
