Is Vicky Coren that naive?

[Herbie H]

Have you never thought of some one as a 'friend' only to be let down/disappointed at some stage?  If not, then lucky you.

Yes plenty, I am not some wet behind the ears poker hero. I am not referring to Ms Coren, more like the young ones who abuse people for fun.

Like the ones who start a thread on 2+2 forum about "News ways to abuse people".

My bad.  I assumed this thread was in reference to Ms Coren.

Why all the sarcasm? Obviously the two are linked. People who abuse other poker players.

...
In the article,  the Guardian have a quote from an old poker talk show in which Mad Yank appeared, answering the question “What is the worst thing you’ve done?” and this was his answer “Me? I'm an angel. I've never done anything bad. Well, I guess I've made a few people cry. I don't like getting unlucky. There was that time I told everyone at the table I hoped they'd die of cancer. Other than that, I've never done anything bad."

"I told everyone at the table I hoped they'd die of cancer"

As you've suggested this is just the standard type of bad taste thing a lot of poker players do. Just like some internet forum posters like to use bad taste animated pictures as their avatar - it's not good but I don't see it as something that is necessarily all that interesting or insightful.

If you'd questioned why Vicky thought of him as a friend when he had so little respect for women then I still wouldn't think it was that interesting but at least it would be over a topic that was vaguely important

[X] You are gaining respect by standing your ground

Apologies if you feel I am being sarcastic with you.  Was not my intention.  Was merely asking a question based on the OP.  Your reply swayed from the topic of the OP, hence my confusion.  

Carry on and I'll stay out of it.

To Laxie

Apology accepted and I most certainly do not wish for you to stay away from topic. I don't know if you are female, but judging by your avatar you are and I'm interested in Ladies views on this.

In hindsight I'd like to blame recently reading about a gas fire for my 'oversight'

From the Hastings News of 24/06/1870
Someone looking for a gas leak with a candle at 12 Clarence Terrace, Silverhill, set off an explosion which burned their arms and face, blew out windows and lifted the roof

emdubya, when diagf evolved into the single word 'grease' did you not wonder why people kept writing that?

Your 'oversight' and Adam's reply had me in genuine fits of laughter earlier.    Tried to stifle the laughing for fear of waking the house!  And pillows are not suitable sound barriers as it turns out.

    Just glad the kids are awake now!

Wait also - the relevance of seeing the last episode of the IT Crowd is relevant, I think it subconsciously influenced me.

Therefore, in summation, I am willing to concede that I may have made a mistake - however there were extenuating circumstances
