Here are the facts of this thread: Michael Shackleford outed a possible AP play for about the 10th time and seemed to take great pleasure in doing so. A play that those of us that were playing paid $1000 to enter. Now in fairness, you will note that I said possible. Because there was a chance this would have had enough entries that it wasn't +EV or if it was wasn't by much. But Mike damn well made sure of it with his announcement.
So I voice my disapproval. Immediately Mike's attack dogs come at me. Axel trolling and baiting me until I said something I regret. Had no intention of doing, but I said it. And now they all turn on me. I am the bad guy and that dates back years now. They are going to change the reality of what happened 4 years ago because I dared point out that Mike screwed AP's and likely did so at the urging of Derek Stevens himself.
I gave AXel and RS_ and MaxPen a lot of credit for lobbying on my behalf to their friend Mike. But again, that was because I was right and they know it, not because of any love for me. Mike is their friend, but he was wrong. Kudo for being honest.
But that integrity shown is completely washed away by this idea that something said years later and you go back and try to alter the truth and fact from 4 years ago, because you now don't like the person. I mean seriously....Is this being honest?
BTW, while I included RS_ among Mike's friends that lobbied for me, the rest of these comments do not pertain to him. He hasn't expressed how he feels and while I suspect he doesn't approve of my idol threat a few days ago, he hasn't attempted to go back and change reality.
RS_ is a special case to me because he is the only one of these 3 that was on Norm's site and WoV. He is one of a handful that really knows what has gone down. And his questioning of those involved has never changed because he likes me or doesn't like me at the moment. He knows what the truth is. As am example just yesterday in a discussion sort of rehashing the T3 situation at Norm's site, without mentioning me by name RS_ made reference to those that were no longer here, wrongly so. I mean just yesterday! So his "truth" didn't change because I recently did or said something he didn't like. And THAT is what TRUTH really is. It doesn't change because you one day like a person and the next don't.
I mean THAT is just flat out dishonesty.
