again, false ... unless you agree that this post constitutes an insult worthy of a suspension.

Just wondering if anyone knows what Phil Gordon said to her when asked what he does for a living and how she responded (assuming he told her he plays poker).

I'm the guy who made that thread. Didnt think it would cause any trouble though. I didnt catch the very beginning of the episode where he probably revealed what he did for a living, however he denied her advances at every turn and the date had the feel of a date of two 11 year olds.

lame move

[/ QUOTE ]



you serious? HE ASKED TO BE BANNED. i dont care who he is, why should the moderators let him talk [censored] to them. Paul isn't as valued of a poster as some are saying. He had a few interesting things to say, but for th most part he was just a troll.

While i agree deleting his post yesterday was a bit of a stretch, if the moderators did anything less than ban him today, they'd lose a ton of respect to me. Just because Paul is well known, and is fairly intelligent doesnt mean that he should always get what he wants.

Though after this temper tantrum he had over this, maybe he's not quite as intelligent as i thouoght.



Good job Mason.

This is all fine and dandy, but the private note to Paul was pretty ridiculous, already saying they were taking into consideration permanently banning him. They really dropped down to Paul's level.

This is just fuel on the fire of an already gigantic moderation disaster.

Every Christ needs his Pilate. Blaming the Jews probably won't work for you, though.

Mason, you could be more wrong...but you've have had to get up a lot earlier in the morning, I suspect.

But you really showed him, didn't you? My what a big man!

I'm absolutely terrified to post here now

People who are taking this view are overreacting.

First, I haven't banned any WPT forum poster. I have suspended several for posting insults directed at either other posters or TV players. They're all be back after a few days off.

If you don't put up posts insulting other posters or players, you're not going to be suspended. I don't see why anybody would get huffy when following that rule is essential to maintaining an enjoyalble, non-hostile forum.

FWIW, I didn't mean "here" as in the WPT forum, I was speaking more as a whole.

So does Paul P. He did apologize, after all.

[IronUnkind]

But Mason doesn't.

Are you implying that Mat Sklansky and Mason should be banned from the forums as well?

That is almost as absurd as the action taken against Paul.
