MikkyT - We get the truth from the BBC

[dealerFROMhell]

See. I told you.

[babymonkeyboy]

he speaks French too?!

mais oui, en peu! erm ooo aaaahhhhh ooooo

You maybe right Byron. But, I feel I have alot of frieds on Blonde and I want to share pictures of Jake with them. You can't live life not trusting everyone. Unfortuantely occassionally you will be let down.

See. I told you.

Your opinion was noted.

My sentiments exactly.

But to slanderously ( libelously ? ) attack a much cared for member of the forum is so far beyond the pale that I can't find the words to describe it.

IMF has posted his thoughts on the subject. Indeed there is the issue of one being allowed to make a potentially slanderless statement but that is for the site owners to make a decide whether it should be removed. I however disagree just because someone is a "much loved member of the forum" that they should not be questioned or even "attacked" on an issue. Reminds me of when several people told me not to question MikkyT for what I thought was an inappropriate sexiest comment because they informed me MikkyT is a top bloke and would never mean it in such a bad way. Guess being a much cared member buys you some protection. Being a popular/much cared member of the forum is not a justifyable reason why somebody should never be questioned on something that they have said.

Some people will call it as we see it and sod the popularity contest which I think is a good thing as long as it kept civil and not become a bitchfest or break any legal issues such as slander.

WHAT?!?!?! The guy managed to take in a woman & abuse her kids, but people who knew him through the board should have seen through him?

Basically there's someone from this board who's found out someone she was close to wasn't what she thought. To then accuse her of knowingly covering for him is disgraceful unless there's some proof.

That's NOTHING to do with a popularity contest & all to do with not hurting people who've already been hurt.

WHAT?!?!?! My point is about the use of the words "a much cared for member of the forum" like it is a reason for not to question. Why should somebody withhold there views just because they are "a much cared for member of the forum". Everybodys accountable come what may. I don't know whether Poppet has done anything wrong or not, that was an acquisation made by IMF. As I already said in an earlier post that we should not jump to any conclusions and Poppet should be allowed to respond to IFM claims. Maybe IFM knows something we don't. Maybe he has just made an outrageous acquisition. It is upto Poppet how she wants to deal with what IMF has said about her.

I'm not really sure what your point is as mine was against the words "a much cared for member of the forum" like they made a difference. Surely as a mod you aware that on occassions certain cliques like to collectively round on other posters and back there good buddies such as some people did for the former "much cared for member of the forum" MikkyT.

This debate isn't helpful. I'll leave it with the following:

If you look back to the post where MikkyT's real whereabouts (prison) came out you'll see that Poppet took plenty of stick - it's nothing to do with "much cared for member of the forum" or what 'clique' someone is in. If someone came on making allegations that you'd sheilded a child molester without any evidence I'd defend you as much as Poppet, Tikay, or someone who'd only posted once.

[I KNOW IT]

See. I told you.

Can I just say, that Blonde Forum is very well moderated and people are allowed to express themselves through debate as long asa it remains civil. The Owners and Mods of this forum are happy with the way this thread is going.

What a terrible day, my thoughts are with the children and families affected by all this. Blonde will get through this but this is certainly the worst thing that has ever happened to this community and to be honest i can't think of anything worse. I don't think the mud slinging is helping, I think we should let Poppet explain herself and then judge.

[Irishdenis]

Stop this "who said what" attitude.  You ,me or anyone else posting on this topice is not important. What matters are that we all care about what happened.

Keith you hit the nail on the head re pictures of Jake. When you walked into the casino that first night and showed us all his picture you stood ten feet tall and it was better than winning the WSOP. My wall at work is covered in pictures of my kids and I will not let some bas----d ruin my way of life, or my pride in my family.

[thediceman]

You've got too much of a bee in your bonnet that people disagreed with you about a distasteful joke. Get over it.

Not at all I merely used it as an example of how blinded some people are on here about what great mates they are via this vitual medium. No bee, no bonet, I just find it laughable at how great mates everybody are and protective of eachother without really knowing there so called friends. But then some people may be great friends and just crap judges of character.

You do have a habit of making assumptions don't you. What a wonderful skill.   

p.s. feel free to pm me as I don't indeed to post on this thread anymore

[Muahahahaha]

At the risk of fanning the flames can I make a couple of points.

I think that what ifm said was wrong & should be retracted, but I think I overstepped the mark in what I said about him.

I think we must try and avoid this becoming a thread where we start taking our anger out on each other.

When I first read the media reports I might have misread them, but the attacks mentioned seemed terrible in their violence, but I didn't see where this moved over to sexual attacks.  Therefore I think there is a lot that we haven't been told about this case.

If it is that complex, I worry about us oversimplifying things just to suit ourselves.  This man is obviously a deep, sick, individual.  He has been capable of disguising his disgusting urges from everybody, until one brave youngster had the bravery to talk about him.   If he could hide  his sickness from everyone he knew, we should be careful not to blame ourselves, or other people for not being able to spot it.

From some of the recent posts I fear that we are in danger of taking out our anger on each other, not on the guilty party.

Totally sick.

I just don't seem to have much luck. Paedo number 2 i have befriended in poker. The sport is horrible, full of sick, twisted fuckers.

For those of you who used to post on the Betfair Poker Forum you will have known 'Squiddy'.

I shared a hotel room with this sick fuck at the first Betfair game. I also shared a beer or 2 with Mikky at the EPT Deauville in 2006. I feel sick that i know these people and like Rod said, i feel i have to share some of the guilt as i know/knew them.

sick sick sick

I am surprised that any negative comments about Poppet have been made.  I am sure She would not have known the truth, any person regardless of how they felt about their partner/friend would not protect them under these circumstances. Every single member of the Blonde forum has been taken for a fool by Mikky, even some very intelligent forum members who were friends with him where not aware. It would have been impossible to know the real truth about what he was up to. Sadly the people who do these terrible crimes are also good at making others believe what they want them to.  Poppet would have been the first to tell the forum had she known the truth.   The fact is, she is probably more shocked than anyone of us right now.
