You have not offended me one iota.
I have just seen so much bad blood, bad vibes, & negativity, arising from Blog Mud-Slinging. Nobody ever wins, everybody loses. Always.
We have seen more than enough examples recently - I imagine all parties regret it in the fullness of time.
These things are best sorted out in private - they just are.
But that's just my personal opinion - each to their own, of course. But if I wanna sort something, I won't go hooting & hollering on Blogs - I'll make direct contact, or via an intermediary.

thats the problem these days though, there are a lot of angleshooters who'll do anything to nick an easy dollar. You were there in the old days where a persons word was gospel. I believe if amatay didnt do what he did, the guy wouldn't have felt pressured to sort it. I guess amatay tried to sort it privately first, and sadly, it had to come to this.

I agree with tikay that normally this stuff shouldnt be posted about the internet, but in this case i think cambo is spot on.
The only reason Amatay has got his money is because the bloke didnt want to become a poker outcast.
If whats on the blog is true that he has been lying about the whole thing then he deserves a roasting.
At the end of the day Amatay was good enough to send him the money. Even if his internet was playing up how hard is it to get a message to someone. If it was me, i would have been round a mates house to make sure Amatay knew exactly what was going on and sent the lad a cheque.
Im always happy to help people out but unfortunately its rarely a great idea when the money is used to fund gambling.
As for the Fish Fathers blog i think its about time he had his own column in The Daily Sport!

Maybe he did learn his lesson? now he knows that he cannot get away with holding out on people even if it is online.
I have seen it loads of times, people go and slap someone who's been out of order and end up in jail
who wins then?
