Is Vicky Coren that naive?

[Herbie H]

You don't see the irony between your original post and that avatar?

What a plank!

It has nothing to do with my avatar, another numb-nut itt

what does itt mean please?

I am a newbie to the internet, please help

[TightPaulFolds]

Got anything interesting to say on the subject, or do you just want to criticise my avatar. Do you still watch Thomas the Tank engine?

It was a minor aside

I have no axe to grind here, nor any point of view that I particularly want to put forward, I'm just trying to work out why  you are calling Tightend names.

Is it because he thinks there is an ironic connection between someone who laughs at cancer and someone who uses a baby smoking a cigarette as an avatar?

thank you

It was bothering me, but until I was called numbnuts I didn't have the confidence to ask anywhere.

OP is levelling surely.

This is just because no one's interested in his Bristol City thread.

Vicky is a lot of things, but naive, she is not.

I thought the article was beautifully balanced, & superbly written. She has inherited her late father's writing skills, & some.

To Red-Dog.

I'm sorry, but it is slightly different to wish cancer upon an adult over a poker hand, than have a avatar which is just bad taste IMO. Like a joke in bad taste.

Don't worry the board police are on to it.

Vicky Coren like most good journalists is capable of dividing opinion, she isn't worried about being controversial but of all the things people might think about her not many would think her to be naive. Her words are very carefully chosen imo and it's an excellent article.

Tighty are Tank are by most reasonable measures 2 of the forum's brighter members. If you want your original post to be taken seriously it's best not to try and rubbish thier intelligence with childish name calling.

With respect, I'm not saying it's not slightly different. (Although I'm sure a lot of people can see the irony in spite of that)

I'm just curious as to why you are calling Tightend names.


EDIT: For the record, I think Fanelli's cancer remark was dreadful.

I would make sex with Vicky Coren. Something about her I like.

Tikay, I have not criticised the article, I am merely asking the question about how someone clearly educated and well liked like V Coren, would consider this man, who is all that is wrong with modern poker players "a friend".

He clearly had no respect for women and treated them like play things, before the move to Thailand. Perhaps I am too set in my ways to, believe that anyone who treats women as animals is wrong.

But I haven't been up the big smoke for a while.

Vicky Coren is the shizzle. The article is superb

I apologise for that and have removed the offending item also.

But quite why every one has their thongs in a twist, over a debate is a mystery to me.
