Public opinion is most often totally wrong.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Why does this crap matter?

When they interviewed Dan Druff, I thought he was gonna bust out the "I'm kind of a big deal around here."

Congrats on coming off as a tool, for whatever reason.

Default Cheeseburgie - No Coke, Pepsi

It is unlikely any definitive proof will ever emerge either way, but to my eye you are already losing in the court of public opinion and when I get the time I promise to make the case much more convincingly.

I'm much less interested in the outcome of this case and for some reason far more interested in why this whole thing is even worth putting together a case.

Point to consider: Dan Druff did indeed look like an ass on a national television (does ESPN broadcast nationally?). He then allegedly wrote a post on an internet message forum which I'd guess 3000 people worldwide have read.

Here you are, building a family, living off the proceeds of a massively successful business and playing poker for fun as long as you want until you get bored of it. And this Dan Druff, this Arkham Asylum outpatient, what's he worth to you?

pp's battles with hellmuth/druff reminds me of the Coke-Pepsi wars of the 80s: as long as they're fighting and making noise, they're both winning.

"Who cares?" posts should be deleted. They just take up space and say nothing.

Some people seem to think I toss around wacky claims willy-nilly, so in the interests of diverting these assaults on my credibility I choose to articulate further why I think what I do. Plus the guy is such a first-class lamer and as should be no secret around here, I enjoy torching lamers.

What do you imagine is going on here? Do you see me mobilizing a militia or something? This is a diversion for me much like any other; I'll draw entertainment from it for as long as it's entertaining and then I'll do something else. Are you concerned life is passing me by while I do this sort of thing? I appreciate your concern, and maybe it is, but I'm having a good time so don't worry about me.

I wonder how much attention Paul would be getting if he had been born 10 years earlier and missed out on the Internet Stock Lottery. What did he accomplish to make his money? What has he really accomplished in Poker? He's our Paris Hilton.

He's all pretty face?

Are you going to be listing your poker accomplishments as a rebuttal?

I don't have any poker accomplishments, and am duely ignored when I write vicious flames about people from on-high.
