The Cofederacy Of Dunces

[redietz]

Funny how mickey is trying his best to blame his inadequacies and illiteracy on a "fat finger"

Redietz only sent in his silly "pr pack" at my command. You could tell he's been rattled by the constant criticism to get it done, so the pressure finally got to him. And if he were able to interpret human intentions, he'd have recognized that regardless what he sends in, it won't mean a thing to anyone. I mean, who cares about whatever he says he does around here anyway? And if he doesn't provide proof of claimed identity, it means less than nothing.

As for mickey....no one deserves to be mocked more than an alcoholic.

Fans, readers, countrymen, lend me your eyes. Would anyone here like to know what is in the credibility package I sent to Mr. Mendelson? Would anyone like a fair and forthwith description of said contents to be compared with the halcyon tales of Mr. Singer? Please check in and let Mr. Mendelson know that you have some interest.

Don't be shy. I can always use a little pat on the back, maybe a kind word.

Mickey, let me remind you that deliberately libeling a public figure is indeed criminal. Your post was a deliberate attempt to damage me.

Dan Druff (Todd) you are also on notice.

On notice for what?

Alan, you're incorrect. There is no criminal penalty for libeling a public figure.

There can be a civil penalty, but believe it or not, the standard for libel against a public figure is MUCH TOUGHER than that of a private person. That is, a private person can sue for libel and win FAR more easily than a public figure can. This is what gives the general public the freedom to bash celebrities and politicians without having to worry about facing expensive lawsuits.

Now, that aside, I want to explain my feelings regarding how Alan should be treated here.

I do want Alan to be shown a certain level of additional respect here, because he is the original founder and operator of this forum. So I really don't want Alan harassed or bothered here, though I ignore when Rob Singer does it, because the two of them are friends and I am not going to get in the middle of their bickering.

However, at the same time, Alan is very opinionated and outspoken on this forum, and he cannot expect to be protected from criticism (even if it's sharp or angry criticism) regarding his posts and viewpoints. I do agree that mickey is being needlessly insulting in his post toward Alan, but he does have the right to question Alan's friendship/support of Rob Singer, as well as Alan's various gambling theories he has posted here over time.

Bottom line is that I would like to see a little more respect shown to Alan on this forum, but at the same time, everyone is welcome to express criticism of his posts and viewpoints.

Feel free to say what you want to Rob Singer, though, as he's definitely a routine troll on this forum, and deserves any vitriol thrown his way.

To show Dunce Mendelson more respect is to allow him to continue to show no respect for me and to continue with his idiotic nonsense. I'm tough enough to take anything the confederacy of dunces throws at me and dish it right back but I won't put up with being stifled while any one of them isn't....and that includes Dunce Mendelson. He's become worse than Rob.

Not even a good try, Slob. In the last sentence of the OP I clearly spelled confederacy correctly. Work on your reading comprehension.

This is very disturbing. You are essentially setting up special privileges and protection for a member who has publicly stated he is anti-AP. He attacks and tries to discredit advantage play and advantage players, on both a general and individual level.

The site is called Vegas Casino Talk...for god sakes. And yet, you are going to "protect" a member who has a stated agenda against AP's. This will essentially eliminate AP's from participating here. So a site about "casino talk" will exclude talk from people with the knowledge to play with and advantage, relegating it to a site for losing degenerate gamblers, like Alan, to share their gambling losses. That is a very disappointing decision. Welcome to Vegas Casino Voodoo Talk.

I'm thinking about suggesting to Larry and V that they join this forum. LOLOLOLOL!!!!

You rang?

Bring it on. Bring your cohort too. I think Mendelson and Singer need a good dose of what real trollery looks like.

This really is a great thread...we really do have a trio of idiots in our midst....Mendelson really isn`t so bad even though he never shuts his mouth on any topic (although that driving to the casino in the middle of the night and leaving his car running is beyond bizarro).....Singer is just Singer...a 1/2 man bitter over his lifelong failures and jealous of anyone that does or has done well at anything....not to mention he has a spouse that could be a stunt double on the Walking Dead ......Belly is the worst of the 3 tho....a cantankerous numbnut that spends his lunch hour at the local high school sitting in an 8x8 janitors closet whacking off to Tiger Beat magazines

[mickeycrimm]

Were Dan to try to give me the higher status and protection he just gave Mendelson, that would make me above everyone else, I would completely refuse it. That's how fair decent minded people think. We are about to find out what kind of person Mendelson truely is just over this one issue. Does he accept the higher status and protection or refuse it? Does he think he is above everyone else or not?

The thing that caught my eye is the thread's title.

One of my favorite books is "A Confederacy of Dunces.," an absurdist romp.

The phrase was minted by Jonathan Swift, who observed that "When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him."

[Dan Druff]

While I like and respect Mickey, I am going to close this thread because it is serving no purpose but to insult and aggravate people.

I realize that some of the people listed in Mickey's original post (Singer, blackhole, coach belly) do lots of insulting themselves, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

However, Alan does not engage in the insult game from what I've seen, and he was also the original founder and owner of this forum until 18 months ago. He does make some weird and ill-considered posts at times, but they are rarely mean-spirited.

My statement on his situation is here: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...nt-of-him-here
