Heights of Poker Players?

I met Moneymaker last weekend at a casino here in Chicago and man he is a oompa loompa.

Now this seems more like the kind of attack that deserves a suspension, as opposed to blatantly saying somebody sucks at poker. Here, it is worded in a way that not only says Chris is doing cocaine, but putting it out there as if it is a given. Somebody new around here or new to poker might see this and think it is a well-known fact that Chris abuses cocaine even though the exact opposite is true, i.e., it is absolutely not well known, and I personally think it is unlikely.

I thought about what I said and I apologize, it was in poor taste. I was being sarcastic at the time but realize my words are meaningful and hurtful.

I respect what you guys do, and I love this forum.

How tall are the following players:

Evelyn Ng
Daniel Negreanu
Gus Hansen
Phil Laak
Jen Harmon (5'2 is that correct?)
Chip Reese (I saw Evelyn Ng interview him after he busted out of the Poker Superstars Invitational and she towered over him)

First, I'm glad to see the Fossilman stepping up and saying something about the loose post earlier AND glad to see that Seth stood up and apologized. Greg is right, posts like those..even though intended sarcastic and funny can do real unjust damage to a players character. BTW, Money has lost some weight since the '03 WSOP, but he just looks healthy...not skinny at all IMOP.

Thanks fellas
