Mason,
Why make such a ridiculous overreaction? Sure Paul is opinionated and not always tactful, but the quality of 2+2 suffers everytime good posters are chased off.

IMO, online forums tend to suffer when moderation becomes too zealous. The readers just need to ignore the trolls and the moderators just need to remove the obvious crap.

At least there will be dozens of great posts by Vincent Lepore and Smoothcall to read.

Signed,
A Disappointed 2+2er

Paul really has not been a good poster. He rarely discusses poker, does not tolerate any disagreement, is elitist, rude, antogonistic. He once told an MD that he knew nothing about ADD meds. When the guy gave a lenghty decscription paul said something like "well this seems correct based on what I know" I like his strategy posts, but he has brought the forums down on several occasions.

there is more history here than a single post.

but I think there are too many bannings and too many posts being moved.

I have had run ins with both Paul Phillips and Dynasty on this forum, so maybe I can be impartial.

It seems like Paul had legitimate criticisms and suggestions. However, he was presenting them in a provocative way. It seems like he was trying to provoke 2+2 to ban him, and Mason took the bait.
