[Wake up CALL]

[ QUOTE ]
Mason's e-mail, if quoted correctly, says that people like Paul are held to a higher standard. The logic of this escapes me. Why shouldn't everyone be held to the same standard?

Allow me to speculate, perhaps they feel some people carry more weight than others. This is not unreasonable to believe since for instance I consider your postings to be generally illinformed so I take them with a grain of salt, therefore when you post garbage little harm is done. Now when a recognized celebrity or selfproclaimed poker authority makes a post many people give them more credence, whether deservedly or not. Therefore they will influence more people and should rightly be held to a higher standard.

Just in case my above explanation is utter nonsense or way off base there is always the fact that the forum is owned by 2+2 Publishing, not you, not me, not Paul and not other poker stars.
