Should he be reported

[Talking Poker]

Well, this is stupid. And you're COMPLETELY missing the point of why he hasn't been banned YET. But whatever.

I'll go do it now if people are going to start crying about it. It was coming in the next 24-48 anyway.

And oh goody... now that I've responded to this ultimatum (at least that's how it seems), I can't wait to see all the other demans that start rolling in. Thanks for that, shabi.

In the future - do me a favor and trust that I'm not a complete idiot and I know what I'm doing, ok? Cause when you say you don't respect the forum, we all know that really means you don't respect me.

I think you misunderstood what he said. I think he meant he doesn't want to be in the same forum where the "stupid teen" is in, hence the non respecting of forum. Has nothing to do with respecting you. As I've read from numerous posts, Shabi likes you and respects you, immensely.

As for the ultimatum, I agree with you. It was wrong of Shabi to give you an ultimatum, I'm sure he'll apologize to you for that soon enough. Right... Shabi?

TalkingPoker: I think Shabi might have missed your post in which you stated you were going to ban holdemstewart, soon.

Sad how one little jerk can upset a whole forum.

I understand what you are saying, but where does one draw the line? What if someone decided they didn't like {insert name here} because he was annoying and dropped the whole "It's him or me" line? Or what if it was for some other reason - like someone called someone else a name or something like that?

This forum is a community, and especially as it grows, there are going to be people in the community who don't like each other. But they are going to have to learn how to get along or to ignore each other. It's impossible for everyone in a group this size to be all hugs and kisses and love each other all the time.

I realize this was an extreme situation, as we had an admittd thief in our community. But as I said, the banning was coming anyway - I was just letting things wrap up for a couple of days first. In the future, I'd hope people would respect my decisions a little more, before dropping the "It's him or me" crap.

I'm out for the day... so hopefully this post will be wrapping things up and not making them worse. Because I'm not going to be around for a while to clean up the mess. GL mods

Rereading my post and seeing how TP reacted to it makes me regret posting it. My post didn't represent my TRUE feelings at the time. I've been away from the forum for a few days, and admittedly I haven't read the thread, post for post, that closely. I scanned the "important" stuff for the juicy shit.

Anyway, I do remember TP saying he was going to "eventually" be banned. When I got home and saw a post by Stewie, admitting guilt, I figured there was no reason to not have banned him yet.

This morning, I talked to Mayhem on AIM. He said he thought TP had left town and wouldn't be back for a week. Not sure if this is true or what. So, when I came in this morning and read Stewie's smug posts all over the board, I got a little pissed. Figuring the moron would be around until TP got back (a week's a long time) I flipped a little.

But what I really meant and felt was: "I know TP is gonna drop this bitch when he gets back, but I'm not gonna be around until he does."

I could see how you would react negatively to my "respect" issues, TP. That was a definite poor choice of words and me acting on impulse. I take that back, and you know damn well I respect you. If I should "know" you better than that, then you should "know" me better than that too.

The last line of my post is very assholish (rereading for the 3rd time, I'm embarrased).

Fact is, I knew he'd be gone, as a show of my "character" (debatable) I was going to take a leave of absence until TP got things taken care of.

My pension for drama and my inflamed emotions made me say things that I shouldn't have.

Sorry to everyone.

[eejit101]

anyone believe TP has all the "Friends" DVDs?

Glad to see this is all coming along fine. Also only just figured out me and Shabs have the same name. Weird.

Along with Ivey, Hellmuth, Laack, Gordon... Paul ___ips (ok, a bit of a stretch). It's insane. What's with all the freaking poker Phils?

[Talking Poker]

Thanks. It's all good.

And yes, I'm in San Francisco right now. Trying to check in semi-regularly, but it's not always easy from on the road, as you all know...
