You didn’t mention anything about zenzone but I figured it is one of those more obscure forums. I wouldn’t have even known about it if it wasn’t for someone on BJTF pointing out that Moses was posting over there. Over time, it looks like he’s developed his own fan club on zenzone, so maybe in the future zenzone will be called Moses’ zone. I like the way Moses calls it his own little island.

One of my favorite posters on BJTF is Slealth. He doesn’t get involved in the snipping and name calling too much. But I agree, you need a little of this otherwise these forums wouldn’t be much fun and nobody would be on them. The issue I see is people need to get a thicker skin and not take some of these attacks so personal. I like a good put down, even if it’s directed at me.

Stealth: while I don't know him, has always come off as knowledgeable and very professional to me. I know he is involved in team play, but really don't know what team or what other members, not that I would say so if I did, but I really don't.

Zenzone: Zenzone originated from the old blackjackinfo. It was a subsection where players could post all of the garbage, without it clogging up the main forum. Maybe that is what made blackjackinfo work. When blackjackinfo shut down, Ken Smith sold off zenzone (or maybe just gave it) to a member known as Zengrifter, another longterm member of the community, who has a long history with Norm (QFIT). Zengrifter as everyone expected was the very first person Norm banned at BJTF, breaking his promise not to retaliate against those he had previous issues with.

So some of us that got banned by Norm showed up at Zenzone to post a bit. There was a little bit of blackjack discussion, but mostly just a place to vent about Norm. And the great part, Norm read every word. We know this because he often commented about things posted there. So if you wanted to post something to/about Norm, you did it at ZZ, knowing he would read it.

A really strange little tidbit about Zenzone: I was banned at WoV for something I posted at Zenzone. (I'll pause here for a second while THAT sinks in)

It was something I posted to stab at Norm. Norm read it, cried to Mike Shackleford, who banned me "for something posted on another forum". I can guarantee Shackleford never read another thing at Zenzone before that or since that. He just read that because crybaby Norm, cried to him.

Again, shame on Michael Shackleford for both allowing himself to be played and bullied by QFIT and getting involved in something he really had no idea what it was all about.
