About 3 weeks ago, maybe a month, Midwest Player who is a member here and also a longtime member, but infrequent poster at WoV, started a threat at WoV, I forget the exact title (probably buried 9 or 10 pages deep in the current thread board) that had my name (KJ) in the title. He even said something to the effect that he hoped he wasn't breaking any rules but wanted to know if it was possible to get me re-instated. Within minutes he was nuked.

I mean frankly if he had asked I would have advise MWP not to do that...mentioning my name is toxic. But he didn't ask and I feel sort of bad. Mike's reason given was that MWP was a sockpuppet but he didn't say who. I get the feeling Mike thinks it was me, but MWP is an a longtime time low limit (not professional) card counter, from obviously the Midwest. He participates on Norm's forum, Blackjack info, BJ21 (<- do you participate here MWP). I have known him since I started participating on my first forum the old blackjackinfo. He is a legit low level AP and definitely not me. He plays the middwest, I think trips to Wendover and Laughlin....places like that. Reno MWP?

And while he sometimes is a little annoying, he likes to bitch about his 9 months of winter and digging out from 6 feet of snow every week, I Think Mike made a mistake on this one. (I have heard he sometimes does). Come to think of it I believe Axel commented that night Mike may have made a mistake.

So what happened was the next morning was the "new Rules" day at WoV and this little incident got buried. I would think some of you guys that know better should speak up on his behalf. RS_, come on you know MWP....you might be one that finds him annoying, but you know he is legit.

And if MWP is a sockpuppet of someone else, for god sakes tell us who, because he has managed to pull it off for 10+ years on multiple forums.

That is my good deed for the day MWP. That's all I can do.
Come on really? WoV representative? How many times have I been suspended over there? How many times have I publicly disagreed with half the rules they have?
Mods gonna mod. What can I do about it? Nothing.
The difference is I don't take the disagreements personally. And thankfully neither does Mike or BBB and we remain friends because believe it or not they are 2 really great people. I don't know the guy on the other side of the ocean and have never met Face as well.

Seems like MWP is just a victim of circumstance. Why don't you create a sock and go defend him yourself? After all you are the reason he got banned.
