Re: I\'m very sorry
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Is the problem that Paul made derogatory remarks about a moderator and the site or was it his bad language and rude tone? [/ QUOTE ] Paul put his opinion of the problem on his site. Barron Vangor Toth BarronVangorToth.com [/ QUOTE ] If the copy of the post on Paul's website is what he posted, and if it is what this is all about, banning is mega-overkill. That post is an honest opinion and is potentially constructive criticism. His phrasing of his criticism may not have been as diplomatic as possible, but that post ranks way above the current 2+2 average in civility. 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? If anything, people who contribute nothing of value should be held to a higher standard of civility. Zero content plus rude behavior equals negative contribution. (2 + 2 = 4 !!!!) |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |

Re: I\'m very sorry
FWIW, the "rudeness" is by a bunch of jackalopes on this site, which then creates some "zero tolerance" policy which is nailing Paul.
Perhaps if some people acted less like jackalopes, we wouldn't have these issues. And I love Paul as a poster and a great and eloquent mind on this site. Hope you stay. |

What happened in the Lee Jones thread? [/ QUOTE ] I can't find the thread, its in the books forum maybe in the last year. If someone finds it and posts it you might see some parallels. I must be a bad searcher. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |
