Hatred on this Forum

[The Boz]

Why do I feel no animosity towards others here, even those that I may not like or that I disagree with?

When Alan talks about DI, and claims to have known of players or seen players that could influence the dice, he gets absolutely skewered by all the usual suspects.

His stories are met with ridicule, he's mercilessly attacked from every angle.

On the otherhand, you have stated many times that you once possessed DI skill, played craps for many years with great success, and not one of them ever challenged you.

Your stories are met with polite silence.

These guys howl with certainty that DI is quackery and not possible, but they never howl at you, yet you're the only one here that's ever claimed he could do it, and has done it.

Don't you find it strange, that you're given a pass and treated with respect, making the same points that causes Alan to get attacked?

If you got treated the same way Alan's been treated, just over the DI stuff alone, then perhaps you'd feel some animosity.

What do you think?

Coach-you may be on to something. Although V did give me a little heat on DI and probably a few others. But let's say he gave me a lot of heat. Ok--must I now hate him and direct venomous attacks at him. Or just disagree and move on. That is kind of the point I was making. Why should I get to the point that I, who have chosen to remain anonymous here, and V, or anyone else, should actually have such ill will when we will never meet or, in the unlikely event that we do meet, even know that we are meeting. And despite the heat I kind of dig V on this forum.

Also, I did drop the subject whereas Alan may continue to force the issue at times.

Speaking of which, I hope he is OK and just not participating here.

I also hope he is OK and is getting the help he needs with his gambling addiction. Not because it would make good fodder for us, but because his family deserves him to be his best for them.
