Everybody has a different cooling down period after a flouncing off so it's wrong to pressure. Tighty just needs time and space.

I would suggest that this thread needs Tighty far more than Tighty needs this thread.

How are you feeling about the imminent cowardliest possible deal Mr Mantis?

In all seriousness if it goes ahead I assume it doesn't tick any of your boxes as we will have left but allowed them to continue to dictate thousands of rules to us?

I think it's all very cowardly. But point out the heroes to me.

The thread doesn’t specifically need Tighty, it needs people with the ability to enter into a debate.

I’ve not bothered posting for a while because it feels utterly pointless. The regular posters have dug in to their positions and have no real interest in altering them.

I’ve typed and deleted way too much on this post. I’ll leave it with this thought

The biggest scandal in UK poker of recent years has generated a lot of conversation, filled Facebook groups and 2p2 and yet it has two posts here. If Blonde isn’t debating that then why are we surprised that the post counts are down overall?

I'm not sure we are surprised that post counts are down.

My argument is that when TightEnd was posting  this was a busy thread, now that he isn't it's not.

I agree that his posts were one sided, but so what, it's his opinion and he has no obligation to anyone.

I do think he needs to be a bit more thick skinned about it though.

If someone said the sky was blue Mantis would disagree, that's what he does, it's part of his charm and probably also the reason that Brad got the best job.

Got to agree.

Surely holding the position Tighty does here, he owes Blonde a thicker skin to keep the thing going.

There is no hate in any posts, strong opinions, yes, but such an emmotive subject will generate strong opinions and a few digs here and there.

Even those with the same views as Tighty have agreed the posts are one sided. Its inevitable, but better that than nothing.

For me, I learn more hear than anything I hear on the box.

Why should Tighty have to be more thick skinned about it?  What would that achieve for him? He gave a lot to keep this thread interesting and alive but there comes a point when you make a decision for your own interests.
I would guess it was a close cut thing as he weighed up the pros and cons.
Joining this thread made sense in the beginning. He had a lot of common interests with the membership. But those common interests have faded away so he had a choice to make
Stay and be involved with a bunch of people that he didn’t really have much in common with.
Leave and be free to hold his own opinions and act on them.

After much internal debate I guess it came close to a coin toss, but ultimately, using a decision making algorithm carefully applied it came down as

Leave: 52
Stay: 48



Submitted with much love and admiration for Tighty.
