"The W*****" replies...

[The Camel]

I heard all about Mr Guoga's post at Walsall earlier this week, but I've only just had the chance to read it myself..

I considered not responding at all, maybe that would have been the best option, but I feel I need the chance to justify what I said and defend myself From his abuse.

He says he always liked me.

Well, in Amsterdam about 4 years ago he certainly didn't prove it. He subjected me to a tirade of abuse I have never encountered before. He abused me and my family. He called me names I have never been called before or since.

He clearly doesn't remember this. Perhaps he has abused and taunted so many players he forgets who he has been rude to and who he hasn't.

He keeps his antics for the biggest events. He is clearly a self publicist who believes any publicity is good publicity. He is usually well behaved in non televised tournaments. He clearly makes a conscious decision to behave badly when he can hit the headlines. He is not reacting spontaneously. It is all an act.

And what an appalling act it is.

Imagine how you would feel, playing in a million dollar tournament. You have just lost a huge pot and you have an uncouth showman rubbing your face in it, laughing at you. He is not celebrating his win, he is just taunting you for losing.

And then he has the audacity to apologise afterwards. As though he make the remarks accidentally. He apologises purely to make himself look better. If you do something in the heat of the moment, an apology makes it better. If you make a calculated action, you can make as many apologies as you like. It doesn't make it any difference. You are responsible for you actions. and the actions of Tony G are those of ungentlemanly, rude oaf.

If someone I like and respect calls me a wanker it upsets me and I want to know why. I neither like nor respect Tony G.

A friend immediately offered to bankroll me in a $25,000 heads up challenge match with Tony G. I was initially very tempted. But what would it prove? If it meant Tony G never acted obnoxiously again it would be worth it. But, he has made it clear nothing will change him. So there will be no challenge match.

[TightEnd]

Dave and Tikay like him and they good judge of people but I cant see what he has that makes anybody want to be close to him. Long live the the camel,BTW  Keith wants a Gillette razer for christmas please santa

[Royal Flush]

Keith i hope you know you have my support aswell, its not hard to see who the decent guy is....

P.S. Your €500, Luton good?

[Heid]

A fair and measured response after the dust has settled is always far more powerful than a rant of the same strength as the original posting.

My mod heart treasures the power of your words, and their intelligence.

My real heart respects you even more.
