Comments made by Mick McCool and responses made by Blonde members

"I must be the only one thinks this, BUT these are the WORST UPDATES ever. Wheres the chip counts, no flair and its slower than a tractor on the M25 in RUSH HOUR on the M25.

Come on, APPROX CHIP COUNTS WILL DO."

You say you found the 1st comment Mick made "quite funny, actually very funny." (which is your right).
Are you saying Mick posted it as a Joke post then?

Chili then posted her 1st response.
"I agree 100% Pelham Boy, I would also love to see Mr McCool even attempt an informative, humorous, clever and FAIR update himself.  Alas I fear though that Blonde's great reputation would go down the tubes if this was allowed to happen.

Obviously from doing updates in the past myself, I can appreciate the difficult conditions at times to even get a constant internet connection and the distance that the press are put away from the action at most casino's.  So congratulations slickid at your marvelous constructive criticisms at 2 guys who are giving you a great free and interactive service.  WD GG WP"

I personally dont see anything wrong in her response here but thats just my opinion.

Micks next post:

Maria they would certainly be better than your attempts! As a matter of fact l could probably go to the local graveyard, dig up a couple of corpse's, give then a laptop and a Vodafone Dongle, with an SAS assault course to cover to get to the press room from the cardroom and they would be better updates than the ones you have been involved in. You need to get of your high horse! I made a comment as to how l found the updates, but this is the last comment l will make on Blonde (NICEY NICEY). As l have informed Tighty, in future l don't even want Blonde mentioning me at events.

I found this to be very distasteful, you said The quote about the graveyard and the corpses again I found quite funny.

again we are both entitled to our opinions, as you say thats what the forum is for.

But the point is Mick made IMO a personal attack against Chili before her final response, and therefore she had every right to defend herself, her choice of words may or may not have been the ones you or I would have used, but as to the way the posts evolved I dont think, and again its only my opinion that she owes Mick any apology in any shape or form.

Laxie,

You also do not see the point I am trying to make. If your most favourite comedian came to dinner, lets say Billy Connolly and he made a "dis respectful comment about your cooking in a humourous way, you would all fall about laughing.

Anybody who really knows Mr McCool, a happy go lucky "tinker" type personality, who cracks jokes at every opportunity would know he mean't no malice.

Its seems so very sad that his comments were taken out of context.

[chunkymick]

Chilli,

Thankyou for posting a reply and I take on board all the things you have commented on. i just find it so sad that people who sit across the table from each other 3-4 nights a week end up talking about each other this way. in my honest opinion I do not feel Micky meant any malice, and that you have every right as an individual to defend yourself.

I also read the comments he made about "Lucy", which was quite "frank" and also many many months if not years ago. Is he always going to be wearing this label as a "trash talker." if this is the case I feel quite sad and disappointed in the nature of certain individuals.

I was reading the updates live, when Mick posted and they (IMO) definatly did not come over as funny.
IMO it definatly seemed like a personal attack on Chili especially.

[Pelham Boy]

If as you say his comments were taken out of context,and were intended to be humerous,he had every oppertunity to say so himself.

I have been a member of Blonde Poker from the very beginning, and although I generally do not post my views I am an avid reader everyday.

As an aside, if every member used the forum in the same way I feel it would have died a death a long time ago.

sorry mick i dont see the humour in his posts infact i dint find them funny at all

telling 2 people working there guts out that it was the worse update of all time  was out of order and he obviously hasnt seen any of my attempts at updates

then openly attack maria's updates was bang out of order and not in the slightest bit funny


if we had been accross the table when he came out with comments like that i would be asking him to step outside

he stepped outside on his own accord at the weekend and no matter what he says to me i wont being reopening the door for him again (as i have done in the past)

Posting in this thread is going to be so -ev, but here goes anyway.

Whilst I don't agree with anything Mick McCool said in the thread, I have previously been on the same table as him at dtd and always found him an pleasent and charismatic person, totally unlike the impression I had of him from some of his (previous) posts.

Now if I could just get a 60/40 to stand up against him - that would be great.

[edit - I must learn to spell]

[chunkymick]

Neeko,

Thanks for your comments. It was refreshing to find somebody who has a half decent thing to say about Mr McCool. I was starting to think that some sort of "brainwashing" had gone on at blonde and that Mick McCool had become the next "Public Enemy No.1"

Poker - its only a game.

[Royal Flush]

He is a shortish, chubby, ginger headed irish chap

certainly never seen him abuse anybody verbally.

lol this has to be a windup

[MANTIS01]

Why do people complain about free stuff?

The expression "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"....means....checking the dental health of something of value that you are getting for nothing....is rude. I imagine it would still be rude if you looked in the mouth in a comical way.
