thaks for your support.

I got a free polo shirt off Sid when we organised a tourney - so Sid is my pal. Gary, I don't get anything off you for free - so, make of that what you will. Billy, Boyd says he can woop (or whoop) yo ass at poker. I would pay money to see that. John, I have no story about you, apart from that time Gary was telling me about with the carrot and the donkey...

Wait a few weeks then offer sincere apologies in person.

Wait another week, then ask for the ban to be reviewed.

That's how I'd attack it.

I appreciate that you are looking at this from a resolve point of view Tank but i feel that freedom of speach is important and I stand by my opinions, I would hesitate to appologise for saying something that I have already said in person to the man in question. If Sid had a serious problem with my opinions then he should have gave me his rebuttle in person at the inital time of my expression. ( my opinions were not expressed on the forum for the first time)

This may sound like "pride goeth before a fall" but its not, I happen to feel justified in my views and I have a right to express them, if this carries a ban then so be it, I will take it on the chin and move forward.

regards

Billy.

I completely respect Billy's stand point. As long as his views were known to Sid prior to putting them a public forum (which Billy says is the case and I trust him) then I dont see that he has done much wrong and that he has anything to apologise for. He has complained as a customer of a service as he has the right to do and Sid has barred him from the club - that is his perogative as owner and he is well within his right to do that. Billy has accepted that and has moved on.

Billy, through this forum, has done a lot to raise the awareness of Cin Cins and gather customers for Sid/Cins. In return, Sid has offered a poker venue in Glasgow, which in my opinion, is second to none. It is by far and away the best place to play poker in Glasgow (unless my flatmate is walking around in her nightie - then my place is the best place to play) and with Tina and Damon helping, there is no friendler place.

I hope, like everyone else, this gets resolved because I think neither of them are benefitting from the current situation.

Just my 2 cents.

How about a Cincinatti child board, mods?

 

It's called "Live Poker"

[CelticGeezeer]

I think the best way to resolve the problem on an under performing enterprise is to ignore the constructive suggestions of some of the regulars and then ban them for having the cheek to have an opinion.


This is definitely a +ev business plan .

[johnlarsson]

for the record my ban has been lifted. 

After apologiesing publicly on the board I have been granted memebership to the club again. However i must deal the final table for the next 3 months.

Fair play to you mate, I will not be as keen to part with my right to have and express my opinion as is my right , I will not be held to ransom.

Are you being serious? You must deal the final table for the next three months? (by the way, i'm not too bright and people call fool me quite easily!)

[johnlarsson]

that little part was a joke

I told you I was slow!

Very good post Dave and appreciated.

The bottom line,everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Everybody  who approaches the management to give advice on how to run a poker club,do so with good intentions(most)
The club has around 1500 members,and one owner...thats alot of different opinions being fed to one person.

Like Dave said,we all want the club to work out,it should be the best place to play poker north of the border at least.

As for the guys being banned from the club.

1.John having his ban lifted was correct,as he is a very likeable guy,who expressed his opinion.

2.Billy is still banned,not because of opinions,but by the way he expressed his opinions...Slating the owner publicly.Sure he might have already shared his views with Sid before he posted on the forum,But I think the fact he called Sid a
 MONEY GRABBING MUG publicly is the main reason for him being banned.Especially as it could not be further from the truth.Sid has given alot of time to the club for over a year and not recieved a penny for his troubles,and also the fact he has paid wages from his own pocket when the club wasn't able to.
He deserves more credit.

There is a good crowd at Cincins and if everyone really wants the place to work it will.
