All in poker / El Blondie

[DeVore]

Ironside, if I ever get over to a Blond Bash, I hope you'll accept my invitation to dinner and we can argue this. Or not. Or talk about poker most likely. I dunno!

I'm bowing out for the reasons given above as I doubt good will come of it regardless of how polite, reasoned or careful I am. If the admins don't want further constructive argument/discussion then may I suggest just closing this thread because threads exist for no other reasion imho.

Tom.

if people want to debate the issue they can feel free

we have freedom of speach on blonde

as long as the debate stays in a blonde manner then people are open to say what they want

my personal view is one thing but i would never censor people for disagreeing with me

I know. But I feel maybe I'm intruding and perhaps this really had been done to death and we should just agree that sleeping dogs should be left to lie rather then repeatedly kicked in the ass and have red meat waved at them.

And I run a (non-poker) site in Ireland that is about 30 times the size of these forums and I ferociously hunt down spammers and advertisers which is probably why I got a bit tetchy about those comments when I was very careful not to be.

Perhaps its time to say "we differ on this" rather then force a resolution to be found... that IS an acceptible outcome to a debate after all
I have an inate "thats not fair" chip in my head and it triggered on this thread. I know the Blondies, and I know the CEO of AIP. All are people I like and respect so I put on my big wellies and jumped in where I thought there was an injustice.

Lets just see each others point of views and agree to differ. Gosh, wouldnt that be a scary outcome of a contentious thread on the int0rw3b?

I feel like Bart and Lisa when Homer predicts the comet will burn up and be no bigger then a chihouas head. I'm scared Ironside...*hug?*

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Ironside]

agreeing to differ is a usual outcome for me as i agree to differ with most people most of the time

just because we differ on things doesnt mean we dont get on

Blonde is actually pro Star Wars and agnostic about Star Trek.


Now then, that sorted, can we leave both the criticisms and the clarifications alone and let the thread drop?!

Please. 

The last 3 years of DS9 were the only good ones.

I promised myself & others that I would not Post on this thread. I said my piece about All-In some months ago, & because things were a little one-sided, I had a meet with Paul Barnes in Monte Carlo, we had an exchange of views, & I suggested he had every right to defend his actions via the blonde Forum.

Thats all I am gonna say on the matter, enough has been said, you have all formed your views, and there is no point in this argument going round & round for the sake of it.

But......

I do need to make  comment about two of the Posters, Lucky Blind (Mike Lacey) & De Vore (Tom Murphy).

Tom & Mike have been VERY special & helpful to blonde, & many of the Live Updates would not have happened without their help. In particular, Tom is a genius with Laptops & Techy stuff, & he has saved blonde's life on many occasions when we have technical problems. Jen & I shared a cash game table with Tom in Paris one night, it was a real hoot, he's a good guy. Mike & I have shared many Tourny tables, especially, by coincidence, at Deauville last year, when Tom busted out a hand or two before or after me, in the semi-final, after a brave display.

I will always remain grateful to both of them, as will Jen, & blonde. We will remain friends for a very liong time, despite maybe not seeing eye to eye on All-In Poker.

The same comment applies to another man involved or mentiond in the thread, Peter Roche. Peter is, in my opinion, one of the greatest Tourney players alive, & I have immense respect for his game, & he is also a very special friend, who has been very helpful & supportive towards me, giving me many helpful tips on improving my game.

We may not share the same views on All-In, but that will not stop me remembering their help towards blonde & myself, & the friendship will, I am 100% sure, survive this difference of views.

Are AIP in anyway related to the Cobra Group?

By the way, Star Wars owns Star Trek!

[allinpoker]

No, but I'm a great fan of Bayern Munich if that helps.

I told Jen in Copenhagen when she seemed a bit down that life on the road just wouldnt be the same without you guys. "Survival" on the tournie circuit isnt enough, ya gotta have a few laughs along the way too. I'm all blushing and stuff here, thanks for your comments.

Now my taxi is here to go to Deauville. Mikes coming too so I think there might be drink involved, possibly.
