Ditto. It's really weird and evil that people would actually troll these guys.
Yeah, it takes a "special" kind of person, say, a failed teacher, or self-glorified bum, to dedicate his entire life to simplistic, casino games, to slam and berate everyone else for, supposedly, being "ploppies", to contribute nothing to society, and then to expect someone to give a shit. It's funny if nothing else.

While Bill here has a perspective with some value, he rarely flips the perspective.

It's a "gambling" forum, first of all, so one would expect the kinds of information provided, and that the info would be deemed valuable given the subject matter. People on "gambling" forums would be expected to "give a shit."

Second, and obviously, "contributing nothing to society" is in the eye of the beholder. It's subjective. For the bulk of human history, greasing the wheels of capitalism and adhering to current 2018 cultural values would have been considered "contributing nothing" to whatever society one found oneself in. Today's culture is no smarter or better than what's gone before or what's ahead. So proclaiming today who's contributing to what is sheer hubris.

Third, I hate the use of jargon like "ploppies" because everyone can learn, despite evidence on this forum to the contrary. People with specialized knowledge should not, as a rule, poke fun at the intellectual limitations of others when it may be that the others are simply untrained or addicted.

Fourth, Bill seems motivated to decry the APs. My default take on this is that Bill, and others who "recreationally gamble (i.e. donate)" may no longer be capable of recognizing or publicly acknowledging the degree to which the casinos have trained them to behave a certain way, regardless of payback. They prefer to say it's all fun and has nothing to do with behavioral training and addiction. They are entitled to believe whatever they prefer, but they should not expect observers to agree with their self-blindness.
