Why can't he just ignore singer. I do. I mean at this point in his life...he is a nobody in gambling..just like I am or kj. So his posts carry no weight...they are not must read material.
It's so easy to skip over posts...especially posts of nobodies.
Personally I only read maybe 10 present of signers posts..and maybe only 30 percent of the gay contingents post (kj,axel,mc)....and that works out just fine for me.
So Dan changed his mind. Is that some monumental assault to kj?.
The vulgarity especially of singer,the drunken rants of mc, the make believe stories of alan, the constant self promotion of redietz, the make belive James Bond stories of monet, and the hysterical whining of kj are all part of the tapestry of this site. Plus the existence of sexual diversity with kj axel and Mc just adds to the mix
LarryS this post is not exactly true and/or there are some parts that you believe that have other factors. For example, your very first line. Requesting that someone (you) be banned and my leaving the site, had nothing to do with each other. I requested you be banned because you were doing nothing but trolling and attacking, which simply did not have anything to do with the topic of gambling. I left the site when the owner went off the deep end. He started creating his own sock puppets, for the purpose of making strange accusations and defending himself against strange accusations. In the end some things were revealed about him that were a privacy concern. And that is when all the AP's left.
Now back to this site: You quote
"So Dan changed his mind. Is that some monumental assault to kj?."
My answer is yes it is LarryS. We as participants invest in a site with our time and effort. I was invited to this site and it quickly became clear that it was nothing but an attack site on AP's. Singer was the worst of it. So 3 months in, I was pretty fed up and thinking about leaving, mentioned it several times. Dan then banned Singer stating he too was fed up with it. But it was more than that. Dan expressed that he wanted the site to go in a different direction. He wanted more legitimate discussion on the topic of the site. He specifically mentioned that he wanted to attract new members and posters, mentioning that he had received private communications from several lurkers and former members who would not participate with the way things were. All this was on September 29, 2017.
And guess what, new names began participating, just as Dan wanted. Some current WoV joined. Others members who just lurked began to occasionally post. Sure there was still an anti-AP bias from the likes of Alan, coach belly, slingshot and blackhole, but there was some improvement with the worst of the attacks gone.
Then 6 months later on April 5, Dan reversed course and reinstated Singer. Yes you are correct that is his choice. And that should have been my que to once again seriously consider exiting. Actually very little consideration would have been needed. I was tricked into continuing to invest my time and effort in a site under the false guise of Dan's promise and statements that of what he wanted the site to be. Unfortunately less than 24 hours later I lost my partner/spouse and my mind was on other things. I was off the site for several weeks and out of town for 4 weeks taking care of things. And then I came back and said, well we will see how it goes.
Well it's been 3 months since Singer's reinstatement and we have seen how it is going. Singer never kept the promise to participate in one single thread. He never kept the promise to stop attacking Redietz and AP's. And it has gotten worse. Some AP's and some of the new members gained have left. And I am back to where I see no sense in continuing. Only this time things are different for me. I actually have other options to continue to share and discuss my AP and blackjack experiences as I am back on qfit's blackjack site I used to participate at. (Amazing that qfit and I were able to reach an understanding but Michael Shackleford can't find a way....but that's another story)
So before I exit and I am not going to make a big deal, just stop investing my time and effort here, but before I did, I wanted to remind Dan of what he said and that he broke his word and that's why the site is in decline and right back in the gutter. I wanted to give him the opportunity to reconsider his re-instatement of Singer.
