When Weakness Prevails, Show Them The Meaning of Strength

I also want to address the numerous comments along the lines of, "Todd shouldn't allow XXXXX on this site".

This is not WoV. This is a mostly free speech site which I basically allow to run itself. Occasionally I will take action if things start to get out of hand. For example, I don't want to see threats of physical violence, doxxing, or gratuitous racism/homophobia/anti-Semitism here.

At the same time, I'm not a babysitter. Many of the adults fighting on here are older than I am, and I'm not a young man myself. If you lie down in the mud and bash other people, you can't really cry foul because someone called you a bad name. If you can't take the namecalling, perhaps you should re-evaluate your own posting history and ask yourself if you're trying to agitate others.

Finally, I want to address Rob Singer's presence in general. I've made statements about this before, but it apparently needs repeating. Rob is a longtime troll who likes to arrogantly lie, and then insult anyone doubting him. He lives for the reactions he gets. At some point he decided he wanted to put together a very elaborate troll job to get everyone riled up, and it worked. This thread is now 92 pages. He put substantial effort into preparing for this one -- even buying prop money.

Rob is the same Rob who has been here since the beginning. In fact, since I didn't show up here until 2013, he pre-dates my involvement by 3 years. I pretty much inherited Rob Singer when I took over this forum. Could I ban him? Sure. Am I going to? No.

Rob is not a danger to anyone. He doesn't scam, doesn't threaten physical harm to people, and doesn't dox anyone. He's just a liar and a troll. To my knowledge, not a single person has been dumb enough to follow his "systems", and if they were, that's on them. You have to do your own research when people on gambling forums claim to have found a magic bullet winning strategy. Rob has never charged a penny for his "strategies", and never gained financially from his involvement here. Additionally, he is subject to such heavy criticism that one would have to be a moron to believe anything he's claimed, given all of the counter posts and counter evidence.

Rob is and has always been part of the Vegas Casino Talk landscape. However, I have banned him from many threads here when he ruins serious discussions, and will continue to do so as needed.

Druff, maxpen has been firing homophobic content at me for almost three years. I finally got enough of it and started firing back. My intention has been to repeately insult and humiliate him for his transgressions. I've done a great job. He's triggered out the ass because he can dish it out but can't take it.

However, in honor of your request I will knock off the homophobic content directed at him. For now. But if maxpen fires just one homophobic post at me the war is back on. I will go right back to homophobic content. I simply will not tolerate being attacked with homophobic content without responding in kind.

This goes for KJ too. KJ has never said a word about maxpen's homophobic content but lashes out at me about it. My side didn't start that shit. His side did. I'm not the one that is going to sit back and honor your request if other members are not doing the same.
