A terrible tournament rule

[tikay]

Steady on Wolfy. We must not call blondes "idiots", please.

I know you strongly disagree with Alex, but it's not pesonal.

Ir's easier to win arguments with guile, rather than abuse.

LOL, nah i dont do tilt. I genuinely welcome alex to BLonde and wish him every success as a TD his diploma will go far i'm sure. Just was a very ill advised topic abnd totally the wrong way to approach something so simple


Tikay i'm not calling all Blondes idiots, and i'm not argueing either and i havent taken it as a peronal insult in that way. But until i stepped down from cardroom i worked my ass off to try and improve the game in everyway i possibly could for the benefit of players, and i know almost every other TD on here has done the same so to be so belittled by an uneducated trash article like that which is so uninformed genuinly is most disrespectful.


But i apologise

Surely Ryu or Ken is better than Guile?

"Anyway, I wrote an article about some of the things you can do to protect yourself from card manipulation, and you can read it on my website at www.alexdscott.co.uk . Let me know what you think, I'm always looking for feedback."

and even suggests ealers should be morewlike that in the cinncinati kid?

Actually he cited the Cincinnati Kid as an example of ridiculous dealing.

That's why we think you're on tilt bluewolf 

[BlueWolf]

ah then i stand corrected, i was misinformed. As i stated i didnt bother reading the article in its entirety

I don't know Alex, but I've read some of his articles both on his site and in the hand analysis threads, and in general his arguments are lucid, intelligent and well constructed.

He's a relative newcomer to Blonde(like me really) and going around calling him names like idiot will always serve to undermine your own arguments to a far greater extent than it will your opponent's.

I hope the personal insults thrown at him in this thread don't stop him making a  valued contribution to the forum.

Agreed. There are no circumstances - except in jest - where we will allow fellow blondeites to be flamed.

Alex just got off on the wrong foot by his "linking" his site, & the blondes are very protective & territorial about these ruses, & spot them a mile off. But he's explained that, & everything's cool now.

yes well maybe the use of the word idiot was a little in haste, but i was angry and still stand by what i said. I however bear no personal malice towards Alex and have welcomed him to the site seriously, my opost was directed at not just him but anyone else who decides then can have a pop at the people in my profession and undermine the great work most of us are trying to do within the game.

I'm sure a post saying all men with moustaches are incompetant fools who think they look like Tom Selleck ( i do not think this btw) would provoke a similair reaction from several blondites although it would not be aimed personally at them if you see my point
