As far as the post commenting on your grammar, maybe I can explain this a little better.
It has been my experience in life that people tend to write as they speak; and speak as they write. The two are autonomic in us. Like breathing, we tend to do this without having to think about it.We can temporarily alter this behavior, but only for an extremely limited amount of time.
I think many members do not give credibility to your posts because of these two factors; but that's only my opinion.
Absoulutely Joe, I feel as though we have developed a great friendship here on DtT. You come to the table with refreashing ideas and great comments and treat others as your equal, (which we all should do).
As for the gramactical errors, well, I'd have to give myself a vacation, all the time, if we infracted for it. There have actuallly been times I couldn't understand some peoples posts.
People only get infracted for breaking the rules of the site. We don't infract over every little thing and we do cut people slack. Yet as Mod, it is our job to intrepret the response each poster is trying to get. Some times we make mistakes, we are human, but I think, all and all this is one of the best moderated boards on the web.
Publicwardog was infracted fair and square. Had a person of another color posted in the manner he did they would have been infracted too.
I happen to know Hev is not a pregidious person. I have seen him post many times in defense of targeted minorities, over the last few years.
Thanks for your input on this though. It helps to put things in the proper light.
OT, real quick: While I got you here, your Holdem' guide is the bomb. Its stuff you know but having it on paper makes it all come together easier at the table. I left a quarter game $62 richer, the other night. I told the guys I play with I had a seceret weapon. They now believe me.
I'll have to hit the real tables pretty soon! Thanks.
