Forum Behavior/Sportsmanship...

[Aequitas58]

Well, you've made a decision, and you're choosing to stand by that. I respect that. One thing I would like to say, so take it for what it's worth:

When Chip got involved with the other forum, things got way out of hand. He was messing around with them, telling them we were going to win, and some of them started name calling. Having a back-bone, I'm glad he stuck up for himself over there. Now, the reason ProTilt they left was NOT because of ChipFish and this pre-tourney exchange of words.

PT was convinced that there was collusion going on, which of course, they didn't want to be apart of. Funny thing is, there WAS no collusion. Sadly, when 3 of the 4 final players are from one forum - anyone will call foul. The problem is that PT seems to be RUN by that Hutton guy. I don't know him that much, but my limited exposure to his posts and how he handles things leads me to believe that he's a nutjob. Do I wish him ill-will? Surely not, but I do have to say, this is very childish.

I think this little forum has grown well over the last few months, and if we lose you because of another person's views - that really is sad. There was no collusion, and Chip was just trying to stir up friendly rivalry.

But, again - people will do what they want to do, so what I have to say probably won't change anything, including your decision to stay. G'luck at whatever forum you find, and don't forget to gimme a shout out when you see me at a final table or two. I'll do the same for you.
