Staking scandal

[Herbie H]

After the recent news on here, did everyone receive their money back?

As I wrote a article about it originally and if it has all been cleared up I would like to write another to acknowledge the fact.

Sounds to me like you shouldn't be writing articles about which you know nothing!

[Herbie H]

Not sure what you mean by that, I thought this was a public forum and why is a bad thing to give a good ending to a bad story?

[Jon MW]

An objective article by someone not involved, who writes well, wouldn't be that unreasonable.

If Herbie H knows someone like that he could get them to write it.

[Herbie H]

Perhaps you should write one then, Big boy!

Journalists have to be generalists sometimes.

They need to know lots about that writing style, be able to construct a narrative from disparate events and speedily produce something that is entertaining to read.

To sub for specialist knowledge they need good people skills, cultivating contacts and pumping them for info and insight and what have you.

Sure pretty much every other poker player also seems to be a poker journalist, but they mostly produce things for other poker players to read and find it difficult to write an on topic piece which will be of general interest.

Depending on the intended audience, and so long as you've got the journo skillz to get up to speed and grasp the basics quickly, a certain amount of ignorance can be an asset because you approach with an open mind, give a fresh perspective and produce something of interest to the general reader..

Not saying Herbie H has all or any of these skills, just talking in the general sense here.

I do not wish for a bitch fight from the old pals act, I am purely asking whether the story has a happy ending?

No big deal really Jon!

Lol

Old pals, I think you have just misread that one! No one cares what you write about Blatch.

The fact you dont know what's happened means your obviously pretty distant from the story, facts and people involved.

Not really a good ending.

blatch is still a sick puppy and he's dikked his family instead of a bunch of poker players. Or more acurately, he's now dikked his family in addiition to dikking a bunch of poker players.

How do you know what I know? I just haven't read anything about it all recently.

[TightEnd]

just out of interest, and no more than that, who do you write for Herbie?

A small poker forum type thing, who are just starting out I won't give the name out, because I don't want the fools amongst us to come back on here and say you are talking about my friend type BS.

[GreekStein]

Yes everyone has now been paid back.

Article sounds hella interesting.  I wouldn't mind reading it when you're done if you could pm me the link.
