Tony G response

[Kaibobble]

I think the whole point is that TonyG is suppose to be a representative of Blonde Poker.

It would be like the queen pulling a mooney at Bush, yes it would be funny but doesn't look very professional or give this country a good image. (Sorry for the example- the only thing I could think of, and no I generally don't think about the queen pulling mooney's)

To new members just joining the forum how would it look that the administrator is calling members a W****. Just put yourself in Tikay and DC's shoes.

It's understandable that everyone is an individual and entitled to their opinion but you still need to remain professional. It would be the same situation in a general work place if the Boss went around abusing clients and calling them w*****, it's not acceptable and would look extremely bad on the company

Anyway thats my say - don't really want to get in a heated debate about it.

[Colchester Kev]

sticks and stones davey, although a smack in the mouth would make you feel better in the short term, a much better way is to leave the table with grace and dignity... that just makes the rubdown merchant look even more stupid and juvenile.  of course a lump of 4x2 acroos the knee caps in the car park afterwards is a different matter entirely

[thetank]

this is what a forum is all about, not just always sychophantic kudos towards other members

 

You can take that whichever way you wish, I'm on the fence.

[The Truth]

Kev it was a question for people to dwell on. You know I am not the sort of guy to sort things out with my fists (couldn't fight my way out of a damp paper bag), just looking for people to define what is acceptable and what isn't.

Now... 

Though I'll think Brian's point is totally true also.

[tikay]

I will respond to this shortly guys, I've got a LOT of catching up to do. I need to take a quick peek at my PM's, then I'll comment on this thread.

Question to Brian or anyone else.

Would you attempt to give me the rubdown after knocking me out of a tournament?

If yes - what would you consider a reasonable response from me?

depends, it is situational, I never know what I will do!!!!!  If I did you have the right to do what ever!!!

The point is that you can like me or not, I can give you shiy or not, at the end of the day you must remember it is a game, you can also judge me as a person and decide if you like me or not!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone has to pay for their own conduct, everyone is responsible for the way they act!!!!!!!!!!

[Trace]

I got to agree about the person who said Trace was being a drama queen when she said "Im trying to protect blondepoker"

I mean lets not blow this over the top. Keith is a strong minded person who can look after himself and im sure he'l be chuckling at Tonys comments.

A bit of rivalry is what poker is all about, you cant like everyone you play poker with. At least Tony G is upfront and forthright with his views and a quality player who has EARNT the right to criticise other players to an extent because he has played with them enough to judge, although his choice of words probably leave a lot to be desired.

It was Actionman.   Oh and btw - The Baron just upgraded me to Drama Goddess - so bow low if you please earthlings!!!

I have a trident and I'm not afraid to use it.

I take full reponsibilty. Go easy on me....

[The Truth]

Brian you state you have the right to do as you wish and I have the right to respond in whatever way I chose. Least that's what I think you are saying. That is a very interesting standpoint.

I have no issue about the like me or don't like me attitude. I don't need to be personally liked to get through life, however I don't go out of my way to pick fights either. Some people like me some don't, thats cool and thats life.

However, to say that there is no restriction on behaviour and no sanction for misbehaving is like allowing a bunch of kids to settle their own differences in the playground - An ideal environment for the breeding of bullys.

Maybe you think I am soft, and you are entitled to that opinion however I didn't no poker was a no holds barred game, guess I will have to get back into training.

How Gary  Bush got involved in this I really don't know but if the Queen moonied him I think he would laugh...... Just trying to keep the temperature down folks.......

you are limited by the rules, by the way you want people to think of you, by the way you want to think of yourself!!!!

I personal think I am loud and excitable, but I hope people never hate me! But then again I DO want people to fear me, I want to be the table captain, " welcome to my table, I am the Rookie and I will be your table captain tonight"  

[Trace]

Hate is a very strong word?

[The Truth]

Brian you state you want to be known as the table captain - thats fine in my book. However how about when a player is eliminated? Do you feel the kill has been achieved or do you feel it is acceptable to stand over your prey in order that they feel humilated?

I am genuinely interested in other peoples views as to what is acceptable as well, feel free to contribute. I am not singling you out, Brian except that I am sure you will answer honestly. I promote a number of tournies as well as some Private tournament directing and I do want to know peoples views.
