[Mission146]

I tend to only participate if someone says something that I consider unfair (like your implication that Druff could potentially defraud you,

Now hold on a minute. You make it sound like I am accusing Druff of something. Mission you and I once has a somewhat heated discussion about my saying something was "impossible". I don't think it was the 18 y.o. in a row claim but something along those lines. Something that was multiple millions to 1 shot. You objected to me calling that "impossible" when technically it was mathematically possible.

Now a wager (which this wasn't even) involving 2 people, with the 3rd arbitrating and holding the money, is it not possible that one of the parties and the arbitrator collude? You used the word "potential". That is all I am saying. The chances of that no matter how small are enough that I am not risking what I conside substantial money on it. It isn't personal to Druff. It is simply my own risk/reward comfort level.

You are taking offense because some of you know Druff personally and think, maybe even know he wouldn't be involved in something like that. Well I don't know Dan Druff personally. My experience with him is on this forum, and frankly I am not impressed with him allowing some of the shit he has allowed. Just flat out lies, for no other reason to attempt to smear and discredit someone. And not just me. Axelwolf, mickey, redietz, the late Alan Mendelson and others have all been victims of this.

Rob Singer wrote on this very forum that Alan had beaten his girlfriend and she had to get a restraining order against him. And of course accusations of me being a male prostitute and preying on older men. This kind of shit is not funny nor acceptable playful kind of ribbing. Nor are lies about people's dead spouse. So that Dan Druff allows that kind of shit complete lies to be stated on this forum...thinks that is acceptable, well yeah, I am not sure I would trust him with holding my 100k.

Additionally, Dan druff is a professional poker player....a gambler, as many of us are. Gamblers are notorious for being shady and doing some shady crap. Druff's entire other forum is about that kind of stuff.

So no offense to Dan Druff (or Todd) but to me, having never met him, he is a guy that runs a forum I am on, and has allowed all kinds of dishonest shit to be spewed. Nothing more.

Meh. I just didn't like the verbiage; that was all. Perhaps I simply took it more seriously than it was meant. I just thought it was weird that you would express concerns about your chosen arbiter possibly colluding with the other party. I'd choose a different arbiter if I thought any chance of that.

I don't know Druff personally. I just know what PFA is all about and what Druff is somewhat about from reading many of his posts. My opinion is that Druff is concerned with fairness more than he is with anything else. If someone gets ripped off, then Druff is pissed. If someone willingly enters into a one-sided deal, but knew the terms going in, then Druff probably doesn't care because the person could have understood the terms.

He also cares about this site and PFA. He wouldn't risk his public reputation, or the reputation of his online properties, even for that amount of money.

If nothing else, I would say he is showing some trust in both yourself and MDawg to even be willing to act as an escrow agent for that kind of money. I sure as shit wouldn't do it if either of you directly asked me. I'd just figure, whatever the angle, I'm too stupid to know what the angle is and me holding this money will backfire on me somehow.

If you feel victimized by this forum...not that there has ever been a forum where you DON'T feel victimized...then create your own forum. I hereby declare that I will join your forum and post at least ten times per month for a year to help you out with starting content. You just can't monetize during that year; I may still participate if you do, but I won't necessarily keep my offer because I don't participate on sites that monetarily compete with us. I might read them, but I don't add new content. Social media doesn't count, obviously, as they are not primarily gambling.

Anyway, it's Druff's forum, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He can ban me from both of his forums, this second, and I probably wouldn't say much. I might casually mention it like, "Or like Todd, who banned me from his forum, for whatever reason," but I wouldn't shit talk him. He'd probably be doing me a favor. Here I am typing this and do you know how much this post is making me? $0.00.

I can't imagine the dead spouse cared. Being dead, and all.

Well, yeah, that's my point. It's about calling out gamblers who rip off other gamblers.
