It's over. I'm not dealing with it anymore. The Boys is gone and will not be back. KOD is gone but I'll let him back with the promise that he will stop. Nobody is immune from getting banned. Nobody.

Please cooperate with me because I hate banning friends. I hate banning anybody.

I take the blame for letting it happen and I take the blame if people leave because I'm not going to allow it anymore, but I'm finished with the bullshit.

Arguing and bashing and personal attacks are all different. I'll be the judge.

its a shame .... adults :facepalm: i like your site !

I don't get it. I understand a good argument over a topic but to continue running down the same person and bashing them no matter what the topic is bullshit.

Again, I take the blame for allowing it in the past with a few members but I'm not playing that anymore. Just not doing it.

It'll be a better place.

I don't understand it. There are guys on here I like and guys on here I don't like. These are people I have never met and I am judging by their posts. But when a guy I don't like posts I either do not read it or I do and then move on.
I was never upset by The Boys and felt that some guys were just giving him a hard time because it was the thing to do.

I'm gonna disagree, but say you are probably looking at it the best way someone could.

His very existence here was to insult people he thought were beneath him, which was everyone in his mind. Whether it was an internet persona or not is irrelevant. Some of us found it very insulting. In my real life I spend time helping out people who are less fortunate than I am, Gary saw them as a target. To be clear, I am very blessed to be as successful as I am and I know that. I grew up pretty poor and not too intelligent and somehow have been blessed enough to be in a position to help others. My wife spends her time volunteering at the local church (that I do not attend) and working with special needs kids.

Special needs kids, despite all the feel good stories you see on TV are among the most neglected in our society and it's heartbreaking. Parents of these kids pay an emotional and monetary price you can't imagine. I don't respect anyone on the planet more than my wife for fighting what amounts to a losing fight everyday.

There are less fortunate people out there. Some through their own doing and most through unfortunate circumstances.

I allowed myself to be very offended at Gary's constant better than thou posts, whether they were true or not is just not a factor. So, when anyone says to just ignore him, it really isn't that easy. I guess it should be and for that I apologize to Jack for him having to get involved. I dislike some others on here, but I do find it easier to ignore them. Hammer, when I can understand what the hell he is typing, is not among my favorites but I find it easy to just move on from the thread. I couldn't/didn't do that when it came to TheBoys and I'm sure I was among the reasons Jack had to make this decision/thread so again, I apologize for that.

I don't think I've ever used the "report post" button on here outside of maybe 10 years ago when I knew a guy from another forum that was a known scammer and wanted to make sure he didn't scam anyone on here. I doubt I'll ever use that button going forward and will endeavor to just move on from a thread I don't like.

Thanks for a great site, Jack. Hopefully we can keep it a great place.

Also Mr. Penguin The confusion as far as i know comes in posted plays. And it has in cases been justified. I think i have corrected that. U always have the option of asking for clarification. I do try and answer. If u don't understand what i write i am wasting my time.

Where it is real F ing COLD
I must have missed a lot lately, I just choose not to go into many of his threads, I do think he was a forum cancer. I personally don't mind getting bashed from time to time, poolplayer likes to bash me and I enjoy it! But the everyday stuff needed to get cleaned up

Yup u are correct. Place bets too but in my opinion ya gotta pull em The letting em ride is in my opinion nuts..... 2 thoughts changed my Craps life. 35 years ago when i started I read a book where the author listed all kinds of ways to play. At the end in the last paragraph he says "If you ever have thought about this as an occupation >>> remember !!! There has never ever been a successful Right t player in history......long term
. Then he rattled off all the winning "Wrong" players from Jimmy The Greek on....

The Caveat is "Dice Setters" I argued with a young lady I spent time with in Las vegas that had taken the Paar course and called me Closed Minded... Well she was right I have witnessed many Setters that do win incredible amounts of money I have also seen them shoot for shit... Casinos all over the world are aware of their success. One night at the Venetian way back witnessed a group of 5 take away well into 6 figures . I asked the Pit Mngr if they had any problem with them. Ans was "as long as they shoot from behind the line and hit the backstop we are fine with it. End of story. However many of these guys have regulation Craps tables in their homes..... and they practice practice practice. Last time i inquired about one they were well over $10,000 bucks for a table.

Lastly a friend once exclaimed to me...Hammer when ya play w the house sooner or later yer gonna win...Play right and sooner or later yer gonna lose....... Craps is a cash cow no prep no research just stand an collect.....but there are so many skills u have to master...most never get there...

On the course!
Guys will always disagree. Guys will always have times when they tell each other to go fuck themself. That's just not the same as being a constant disruption to the forum, or a guy who constantly shits on someone at every chance.

If you want to talk about the tires that Walmart sold you, and some guys want to razz you, that's not a big deal. But, when a guy is trying to organize a meet with other members, that's no longer "internet interaction", it's real life. Joker has donned the hat of organizing the golf event. Good for him! It's something he wants to do, and it's something several members here have attended.

For one of the biggest shit starters on the site, who also has a grudge with Joker, to gloat in the fact that this event was called off, is disgusting. I get that Joker can be a pain the ass of some of the members. But that doesn't deserve a "Ha Ha!......Glad you failed!"

If the only reason you exist at this site is to be a huge prick, I can't understand the game.
