Pathetic needling attempt?

The initial comment was made becasue I find the thing amusing for a few reasons; It wont ever happen and land of the free trying to stop people having harmless fun.

Could you please link all the other posts I made that slated the USA please I am interested to see if they actually was any? Just becasue someone says the USA chances of winning the world cup are zero, not sure how that constitues a jab. Maybe your a little too sensitive for your own good. We all love our country and all but there are others in the world you know


If your offended by people passing harmless comments regarding somthing not going to happen then you should live in a box. I am fully aware of what would happen if it was to actually become law but what another country does or doesnt decide to do in regards to its gaming laws will have "very little" effect on me using ladbrokes or other Euro based gaming sites that I do currently.

And talking of being pathetic, bringing up things that happened 3 years ago you know nothing about springs to mind,trying to somehow make me look silly. Sorry bud I left becasue of the way one or two people acted after I won the forum challenge. I am sure one day you will realise principles and the way you conduct yourself means alot to some people. Again your post only gives credence to my initial impressions of some quick to prejudge people that frequented the forums.

This is extremely naive thinking. The bill passed by an overwhelming majority in the House. We should have no reason to believe it won't pass in the Senate as well, and the White House has already said it supports it.

As for the "very little" effect on you, hopefully we'll never have to find out, but I'm confident that you are very, very wrong about that.

But TP it wont have any effect on most European poker players online. The so called Big US poker companies will get around laws or seek to exploit the markets outside their country. Pokerstars for example will have a seperate Euro client and no one will care tbh.

I really will suck for people in America true, but poker survived before it and will do after. Live games are good

Why would Pokerstars create a seperate client? I am fairly certain that Pokerstars was (and probably still is) the main sponsor for the European Poker Tour. What are they just going to create a new platform out of the blue if the US bans online gambling? I don't think so. Also, your argument that no one will care outside of US if it does become illegal is fairly dumb.

I'm not easiliy offended, but very easily annoyed. If you want to look at your past posts, go right ahead. Click on your user name and "find all posts."

To the average poster, they probably won't find much to be "annoyed" at. But for someone who's been around from day two, it appears different.

You throw a hissy fit because of forum behavior that you do not want to be "associated with" and take off. Fair enough. That was about the most bitch-like thing ever posted on here, but hey, more power to you. I guess you live in Dramaland and like to make yourself feel important.

But, then, you show up again and make a few commments like this, and well, I guess it rubbed me the wrong way.

In your last paragraph, you get back to your crusade about principles and the reflection of the forum on blah blah blah. So, why the fuck did you come back?

And what the fuck does this mean?: "Again your post only gives credence to my initial impressions of some quick to prejudge people that frequented the forums."????

I don't know what you're talking about "prejudging" but whatever man. I don't prejudge. If somebody decides to act a certain way that I don't agree with or appreciate, I'll call the out, but no prejudging.

In fact, I'm not sure you're even referring to me anymore. Surprise surprise! I still "frequent" the forum, so are you even talking about me? Oh wait, you're lumping everyone in the forum together based on something SOMEONE did 3 YEARS AGO!!!!! Just like you did 3 years ago. Get over yourself.
