Thread: What the hell happened???

  1. #1
    I check in to see the lively banter and it's a ghost town. Is Mickey finished with his romp through the casinos of the US? Is security in Vegas any better or different? No health updates? What gives????

  2. #2
    That one thread got pretty ugly with threats. I just skimmed it and moved on because it was very unpleasant to put it mildly. I think it drove some of the regulars who were being addressed specifically away. Which is unfortunate.

    I don't really go to the strip, but off-strip I haven't noticed any changes in security.

    The bomb-sniffing dogs at the monorail caught me by surprise.

    I think Halloween slows posting down. I was at Pechanga for 24 hours and had nothing brilliant to report (so I didn't), other than the rooms are quite nice and the vp is fine (NSUD and 9/6). I missed the KJ posting a week ago that was yanked because I was in LV. Evidently I missed an Action Jackson kind of day.

    Here is the cliff notes redietz. The general consensus is that I had some sort of melt down. That's really not what happened. I knew exactly what I was doing. Feeling I (and others, particularly the other AP's) have been constantly trolled and attacked, I decided to troll back. I decided to troll and attack in the nastiest ways I could think of. I thought maybe it would open some eyes, and maybe some reasonable minds would see just how insane all of us are with this back and forth and trolling and attacks. But it didn't work that way. I just looked like the lunatic, and that's ok.

    But you see what happened. When there is no one to troll and attack, the site just dies, as it has done for the past couple days because that is all this site is...attacks and trolling. I don't see James40, coach belly or blackhole ever participate in any kind or reasonable, respectful discussion that might benefit anyone. All they ever do is troll and attack. And when there is no one to troll and attack the site goes quiet. This basically is a hate site. Some members are here only to hate. And some of those members of the hate club are probably sock puppets of another former hate monger.

    I mean look at James40's opening post to this thread where he says "no health updates?". I am recovering from open heart surgery and he mocks me and my recovery from such a major health crisis. That is about the lowest thing I can think of. I don't know that I have ever been a part of anything that low, anywhere. But that's what vegas casino talk is I guess.

    With Alan and Singer gone, those two "lightning rods" no longer attract posters like shit attracts flies.

    It's a new world.

    That's not a bad thing. No voodoo gambling theories.

    Welcome to newest member Nyne. I know Nyne or of Nyne from a blackjack site (assuming it's the same Nyne). Welcome but tread lightly Nyne. This site is unlike any other you have participated on. Just because you like to play with an advantage, you will immediately have a target on your back.

    I didn't read james40's post as an attack or anything of the sort towards KJ. Seemed more like -- there's been a lot of activity then all of a sudden it completely dropped off....and since you'd been reporting on your health issues / recovery stuff, I think that was a fair comment/question from him.

  10. #10
    It was not a fair comment/question, RS. Nor was it sincere. These comments are mocking a person recovering from heart surgery. You know, people don't have to like me. I know I rub some people the wrong way. (please refrain axel!) But I expect a bit more than people mocking me concerning recovery from open heart surgery. That's just really low.

    This is the site I call home currently. And I don't have a lot of options about that. That situation is pretty much out of my control. So I shared the traumatic medical experience I am going through, and continued to give some updates because a few members were inquiring. And people well mostly James40, mocked me, so now I share those updates in private when people ask. I still am having trouble with that. Mocking someone over their recovery from open heart surgery. I know the world's changing, going to hell, but, I don't know....

    Yeah, I have a hard time reading those as neutral. They come across as not buying into the narrative.

    Touché, KJ. I forgot about those other posts.

    Not buying into it? Yep, I really don't give a damn about some stranger telling a bunch of other strangers some dramatic shit he should be sharing with friends and family. Do you even know if it is true? He would not be the first person on the internet to make up an illness for attention.

  15. #15
    Gee, in this New Millenium more and more people find their "friends" online, instead of in a bar or on a pool league.

    I have no problem with him or anyone else turning to an internet forum for encouragement, ratification and a bit of human contact.

    Hell, we're all bozos on this bus.

    James, why are you trolling? Are you taking the places of Singer and Blackstinkhole? No one has forced you to read a KJ post. You did that on your own. If you don't like his posts then don't read them. But knock off the trolling.
    "More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ

    Oh here it comes....the vegas casino talk demand of proof. Show proof that you are an AP! Show proof of your winning! Show tax returns! Show proof of who you are (redietz). Show proof of surgery! Edit: I forgot one. Prove with a live demonstration that someone can film that you can track two blackjack tables. This is really a fucked up site.

    And you know last week, when James made his first couple trolling comments about my recovery, I was on the verge of doing just that. I asked my partner to take a picture of my chest and be sure not to get my face in it. He asked why and I told him "I want to post it online to prove that I had heart surgery". He just looked at me...for a full minute. Didn't say a word. Then he simply repeated what I had said. "You want to post a picture of your chest to prove to someone online that you had heart surgery?". I felt like an idiot.

    So, No I am not sinking to the ridiculous level of the trolls on this site...unless someone makes it worthwhile for me to do so. Same offer as other ridiculous challenges: If anyone wants to put their money where their mouth is and make a wager, I am game. A neutral party (maybe Dan Druff) will hold the money and I can show hospital records and bills along with a picture of my chest. That neutral party will be the judge. As a matter of fact, I will go to Dan (in las vegas) or have him come to my home.

    So put up or shut up James40, but I am not going to play your freaking trolling games, or give in to your trolling demands for free. And anyone still wanting to put up some money on the other challenges, I am still game for that too. I will have Todd (Dan Druff) come to my house and we can settle all these wagers in one shot. I can use the extra money. Will help make up for some of the income I am losing during the last quarter of this year while I recover.

    So James40 don't tell me to grow a pair...how about YOU grow a pair. Put some f-ing money up to back up your challenges instead of the sleazy trolling that you do, demanding this or that. You aren't entitled to anything if you don't put some freaking money up!

    I started this thread remember? This was the exact mention: "No health updates?" That provoked a long winded diatribe on me. He also had the option to not read and not respond. Yet he could not help himself, he needed the attention. You called Singer a liar for years, was that all trolling?

    Sounds just like Singer when he got backed into a corner. Two peas in the same pod.

    Bomb sniffing dogs? At least it's something. I'm wondering how they handle the crowds on NYE this year. That's got to make people nervous, having that many people crammed into center strip with all the hotels looking down on them. Bag checks? Metal detectors? What a security nightmare.
