You are, yes. But, be careful you are not free from persecution from what you say here on your blog.

A few years ago, when I joined pokercards, they were a pretty good bunch of folks or at least most were. Back then the games had more players and the forum was a fun place to hang out and share ideas.

I really tried to make every game posible and had a great deal of fun playing with the same players over and over because I wanted to improve and I wanted a group of players I could exchange poker theory with.

So I endured the occasional tantrum and pretty much bite my tongue. Hell, why not? I was learning to be a better player and I was gleaning a great bunch of online friends from the forum. As a matter of fact, I was moving up the rakes of the forum and trying to make pokercards a better place. It seemed to be working for me.

When PCS came to life I was asked to be a Mod and jumped at the chance. I was getting a chance to help people learn and took several members under my wing. It was still working for me.

The games had a few less players enrolling but the buyins were moving up so it seemed to balance out fine. The tantrums and hissy fits seemed to be happening every couple months now tho and for stupid ass reasons.

Then the move to the “New” forum. Rich and the new “Web Master” put together a new site. The “Front” page and mission statement read like a third grader had written them. (Not any better today). Myself and other Mods were casted aside even though we were some of the most active members and players. Games started losing players and the forum was being used to dictate our actions and play. This lastest ploy is just a continuance. It has stopped working for me.

Part 2 in the next day or two.

That is the opposite of the norm here mate, the British are well know all over the globe as the masters of diplomacy (or we used to be). If it seems heavyhanded or dictatorial it is probably because that is exactly what it is.
