Hey Webman?

Maybe you can start a new section called Junior High School and this thread could be the first post.

[DaBurglar]

Yes, well you have all been heard by me.....and, as I pointed out my main reason for sending tedlark a PM was to just allow him to spew his vitriol in Private sinc eit only involves me......but alas, you saw how he reacted.Look, I have repeatedly asked Tedlark to just leave me alone, and you all have seen his responses to this......He does NOT engage on solely the issues (he does everything BUT that)....and estes (or Ambassador, secretary of Interior, Commodore or whatever you are),  I do not know you and you do not know me......but if you mean to say I AM THE BULLY here, then sorry, you are way way off (and obviously have not been reading this entire farce.)Ok, I will accept my responsibility in this FARCE....it takes two to tango, and you cannot have a fight or argument if one chooses to just walk away or ignore the other.I'll try......because Katipug asked, since she is a Pug expert, and Pugs rule...and she is right....this is all become pretty stupid.I apologize to the rest of the forum....even Doris (who wants me GONE) lol.

To Daburglar and Tedlark. I do not know how this whole discourse started but it is time to bring it to an end. Unfortunately the only way it is ever going to end outside of being censured by this website, which i hope does not happen, is for one of you to be the bigger man and just resist the urge to react to the other one. You both contribute invaluable information to this forum. I always look forward to comments made by both of you. I hope you can both put this whatever it is between you behind you.

private messages should be kept private, period.

Amen, Mama, Amen

  My intent in posting the PM that was sent to me, unsolicited, was to show the forum as a group something that they would not have otherwise been aware of. This was to show that DaBurglar was not only continuing his name calling and everything else in the open; he was also subjecting it to me on a more personal level.   After receiving this PM another step that I took was to send a PM to webman (gosh I HOPE he doesn't post it here) asking if I had the ability to block DaBurglar from sending unsolicited messages. He is, by the way, looking into that as an option for ALL and not just me.    If you do go back to the beginning as DaBurglar is insisting that you do, you will see that I was originally cordial to him. Once he continued, non-stop, in bashing Atlantic City gaming, saying that the games were rigged (or crooked, fixed, whatever), posting flat out wrong information and then attacking other people here; I had enough. It was then that I started responding to his forum posts and by me taking an opposing view point, and I WASN'T alone, he ramped up his personal attacks on me.    I can deal with the fact that he was calling me names but once he started making totally inappropriate comments and insinuations I came back at him harder. Despite DaBurglar writing how much an idiot I must be, or how stupid I am, or crazy, or need psychoanalysis; the truth be told, I am probably smarter than he is. He has always done a pretty good job of talking down to people and one thing that I have learned over the years is not to do that because there is always someone else smarter. I am also gifted physically and it wouldn't be too difficult for me to hurt a person physically but I don't. I also don't crow too often about my strength because, like above, I know there is always someone stronger.   The last straw was recently when he made the despicable comment about my sister and her nursing profession. To make a comment and ask in that comment if she were a successful nurse because she hadn't killed anyone in her past 14 shifts was uncalled for and it should be an affront to all nurses and not just my sister.   I have gotten to know a great many people here and I consider you all friends. I also have had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person and that has been very nice too. There are a few that know me better than others but everyone has people like that in their lives.    My primary purpose in responding to DaBurglar's forum posts was to just try and get him to post ACCURATE information. When he posts erroneous information about the New Jersey Gaming Regulations I wonder if someone who doesn't know better will take that misinformation as fact and get themselves into trouble because of it. Other people have also tried to show DaBurglar where he was wrong so it just wasn't me.   I don't ever intend on meeting DaBurglar. Not in Atlantic City, not in the Atlantic Ocean. This will not happen because this is what he wants so he can then show that I am the bully for picking on him. I have never acted in that manner with ANYONE who has such an affliction that DaBurglar has repeatedly mentioned that he has.   If Daburglar simply does a better job of posting accurate information here, we will all be the beneficiaries. When inaccurracies are posted; who benefits then? I have a the ability to verify the information that he posts through several avenues and that is partially because my work requires me to be accurate. If Daburglar simply does a better job of accepting that there may be other people out there with an apposing viewpoint; we will all benefit.   To those of you who have stuck up for me here; I appreciate it very much and that comes from the heart. Just the same, to those of you who have made negative comments to me here; I fully understand you are entitled to your opinion but please realize remember that a lump of coal is actually a diamond in disguise. Ted

Hopefully, both of you will stop sparring back and forth on other than VP specific issues and then without personal invective. A number of us have requested you both do so repeatedly. Let's end it now including replies by surrogates.

I really don't care who started anything. I really don't care if someone has hurt feelings. Both of you guys and all your friends are good members of a video poker forum, act like adults. I could care less who went to what college or what either of your IQ is. When the fighting looks like something from grade school it make you both look like children. Someone let it go and ignore the other so it can end. Letting it end also includes not trying to reason or prove who is right.

[Tedlark]

pokerforme I don't need to be scolded like a child, you have previously stated your opinion and I respect it.

I decided yesterday to take a VERY modulated approach when contemplating a response to DaBurglar's forum posts. I don't enjoy getting run over and then backed over by the same truck.
