How the hell can anyone complain about BLONDE, advertising a BLONDE event, at the BLONDE poker room, on the BLONDE forum?

Would it not make sense to maybe add a child board to the internet poker forum for all BPL stuff?

this was suggested at the outset but it was decided to wait until the cardroom was established.


A league not established enough?

"Establish" - to make secure or permanent. (OED)

It had it's first Tourney last night. Hardly "established", though I guess patience was never your strong suit Flushy.

But we ar immensely grateful for your support of blonde.

Im a little shocked that someone who appears a very reasonable chap like Action would be critical of a poker website advertising their tourneys, articles and clothing to its members. I am sure it is just a question he has had mulling around and he probably didnt expect the volume of responses from people who also know the true financial outgoings that this great site has accrued.

I think we should remember that not all members will know the set up and the costs or that DC and Tikay have taken the full cost upon themselves so lets not be too harsh if we disagree because there will be a lot of members who didnt know.

Tikay, a cautionary note, you seem to be getting progressively more wound up by Action Man's comments as if they are answers to your replies already made... remember his comments were all made before you'd posted a reply & take that into consideration that he hasn't had the benefit of reading what you've said.

You've explained the position, don't get too wound up till he sees the explanation. That's one of the dangers of a forum type board.

Wll there you go, all of Mr Man's criticisms answered, point by point.

It's such a shame, but it's the nature of life that I've had to waste an afternoon responding to this stuff - it would be so much nicer if I could, instead, thank, & respond, to every Positive Post from the Members. I can't, I'm afraid, I've already thrown away 2 hours from my ever-diminishing egg-timer, but to all those who supported blonde, my personal thanks.

This site is free, & you all have the choice as to whether you support it, or not. We know that, & try to keep it the way you like it.

I can take positive criticism all day & all night, & often do, that's why we change things. But negativity, & inaccurate facts, pees me off, & I aint ashamed to admit it.

Good work Tikay - go and have your nap now - you've earned it!

Bobby & Rod, fair comment. Except Mr Man has been a Member since February 2005, so it's hard to believe that he did not realise the way things are before he burst forth with his comments.

I'm done now.

i feel a bit sorry for action man, he probably logged on with the intention of making the most witty, insightful, well articulated post ever seen on blonde pertaining to some form of topical news story that was deemed to be of significant publc interest.

but then he probably felt a bit tired and wanted to watch paul o grady so he thought i'll write a couple of lines about spam and then hit em with the good stuff later.

what are your thoughts on the pay structure in place for nurses working on the nhs?

TOO HIGH!!!!! they dont even put the hours in these days

OK wasn't preaching - just warning how easy it is to read a post, respond, then continue reading a guys posts in the context that you've responded.... getting angrier and angrier becasue youve addressed the point but not when he was posting, I'm guilty of it & try to read a thread through and then go back.

i enjoy the forum immensly, just worried theres too many people trying to make a killing from it, thats all, breaking even is the main objective of every business, which blondepoker has become.

"too many people making a killing".....!

You jest, surely. Read my Posts in this thread, & tell me who's making a killing, please.

Breaking even? I wish, I bloody well wish. Breaking even would be like "getting out of trouble" on the last race at the Cheltenham Festival - unexpected, but a massive relief!

Quite frankly, if I could get my investment in blonde back, ever, I'd be mightily surprised.

Making a killing indeed, now you are winding me up.

Okay, okay, I must confess. Since I started working for blonde, my account has reached the seven figure mark. There, I said it.

Strictly NO NIPPING though please.

Crikey I go to work for a day and miss all this.
My only point I would make is that most "commercial" forums would have probably censored such a post and the spirit of Blonde appears to have allowed this debate to be thrashed out in the open.
