Isn't that called a blog?
By the way, speaking of holding grudges. There are private forum. I don't know if you are aware but there is a private BJ forum, run by a longterm member of one of the top teams (not MIT), a pretty BIG (hint) and known player. And all the top players, including many BJ Hall of fame players are on this forum although none will admit publicly that it exists.
So to become a member, one of the current members has to sponsor you and the other members vote. So one of the players recently sponsored me and I was voted down. I was voted down because there was extensive lobbying by both the forum owners that banned me Norm and Shack. I expected that from one, the other, he just continues to disappoint me with his smallness.
The main reason, I even wanted on this forum was to eventually sponsor my brother, who is still up and coming, still learning the game. I thought he could really benefit from interactions with some of these successful players. Some of these are the players I learned so much from, so I wanted my brother to have that opportunity, but grudged and egos denied us that.
Anyway, if you ask around, this forum doesn't even exist.
