Gotta agree with some of the other posters. The two wrongs making a right defence doesn't cut it for me
Maybe not, but I guess that's a matter of opinion, of which I seem to be in the minority. If he hadn't shown dishonesty himself, then I probably wouldn't have done it to him, but at the time, I felt, he didn't stick to the rules before, twice, in fact, so why should I. Right or wrong, that was my thought process at the time. Online, I never insult, abuse or lambast people for the way they play. Live, I am polite and courteous and leave every tournament congratulating my assassin and wishing the table good luck. I don't think I've ever lost my rag or had a go at someone for the way they played their hand. In that sense, I feel as though there are a lot more people out there worthier of a character assassination than me. I suppose it's always easy to try and make someone out to be a cheat though. The thread was put up as fun, but has been taken out of context and used to have a go at me without having all the details at hand. I'm tired of defending myself now and a little disappointed that I didn't get at least one benefit of the doubt comment considering the respect I have given the game and my opponents over the last several years. That's my last post on the thread.
Those that give you the "benefit of the doubt" don't Post. It's the way of the world, I'm afraid.
It was a fun Post, about a fun session witrh a daft drunk, & has been taken wholly out of context.
You are a good, morally upright, honest man of great integrity beyond your years, & you know that. And we do.
Forget this thread, & move on. I bet you wished you'd never Posted it!
It must be a dog's life being a beagle.
