I have to admit, that would be some funny s***.
I would have no problem with that. I don't hate Norm. As a matter of fact, I can say with great certainty, that I wouldn't be where I am today without Norm's BJ software. So how can I hate someone that has given me that?
My only problem with Norm was that he protected someone who he knew was intentionally misleading players. Does that sound familiar because calling out these guys is what I am always about.
You have to understand that forum owners have a different agenda. They are interesting in forum traffic. Some of them will say that isn't the case but it always is. Even on this site, Dan banned Rob for making racial slurs. 6 months later Dan allowed Rob back and specifically cited that traffic was down as the reason.
So Norm is a blackjack guy, a math guy, a numbers guy and he allowed a guy to run wild with his claims of super duper counts, achieving 5% advantages, which is impossible. So happens the guy was the leading poster on his forum by far. Why are these guys always the poster with the most volume of posts? So, I don't hold Norm responsible for the guy making impossible claims, just as I don't hold Dan responsible for Rob's claims. I do hold Norm responsible for protecting the guy and not allowing us to challenge these math defying claims.
And in the end, years later although it wasn't me and I was long gone, I was proven right. And the guy even admitted that as time went on and he got a larger sample size his claims came back down to earth, just as the math said. Then he made stupid excuses like he wasn't even talking about blackjack and disappeared completely.
So I was proven right. I have no need to rehash it with Norm and would be quite capable of existing with him.
