    Blue ink dip shit. Have you been drinking again? You are way way off topic. Waz Begas Baaabeee!

    I'm saying "clean the crap off your own front porch." You have about 6600 posts of pure arrogance and ignorance.

    So Norm is the Police Chief! Hmmm. I guess that means you're the town drunk.

    So are you saying you want to meet me in an alley? So Norm made a request for the town drunk to run me out of town?

    Effie, go get Flash his medication. Norm is going to delete both these posts anyway. But it's been fun.

    By the way Mister Moses, this is a thread entitled Las Vegas, a venue
    that you're unfamiliar with. Very few posters here play the ugly Northern
    Nevada games that you enjoy.


    Huh? Effie, take away Mr. Flashies booze again. Take him drunk. He's home.

    It does't matter what others think of you, only what you think of yourself. If you understand this key part of being happy then words can't hurt you. But you still have to worry about someone getting pissed that you are a far better person than he/she is and hit you over the head with a stone and beat you to death with a stick.

    Sorry, I don't belief in God !!! But there are lots of crybabies that get their feelings hurt, then demand that laws be made, so they don't get there feelings hurt again. Seems like they have a name, for everything they don't like. The hot trend word is "racism", but there's many more. Fuck all the crybabies, no matter what color!!

    Very good Moses! Many people could learn from you an important lesson! Your never going to agree with everyone, but it doesn't make them wrong and you right( but it could be )! Everyone can have an opinion, without the other side going to war! There are far to many people that believe that their way is the only way(very closed minded). As they say, "more then one way to skin a cat"!

    Please no comments on cruelty to animals!

    Haaa. My wife never claims that she knows better than me on nearly anything (well, except most things), but if you asked me, I sure as heck wouldn't claim that I know better than her (yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the date we met).

    I disagree with you Moses. I much rather see a thread and when Norm closes it, we know why he did it, whether we agree or not. If Norm stops someone from posting at all because of the initial post content, we don't learn anything, don't even know that he has stopped anyone from posting. I like the transparency here.

    Original posts are deleted only if they are duplicates, from a banned member or SPAM. SPAM which is related, like a BJ site or BJ software is usually allowed to stay up in case some relevance is established. Unfortunately, it's extremely rare that anything fruitful comes from such threads.

    Janie is upset at Mikey over what toys he was playing with at the sandbox and called him a poo poo head. It amazes me how you can get a bunch of people from the general public together and they can take something as pure as the mechanics of the game of blackjack and turn it into something resembling a TV reality show, cat fight at the OK Corral and try to justify enough wiggle room to make personal attacks that make no sense or have little to do with the game. Who gives a fuck whether Mikey is a poo poo head or not. Is harassing Janie about what brand of tampon her Aunt Millicent advocates using going to make Mikey a better blackjack player? No, not at all. It makes for some great entertainment as long as you are aware it's got little to do with making you a better player. I feel a degree of empathy for those involved or dragged into it all.

    On a public forum you need to be able to differentiate between things you find appealing that will help you as a player and things that are peoples personal quirks, essentially peoples personal pissing matches with each other, and what is complete horseshit. If the forum stuck strictly to the sterile mathematics of blackjack, would it be a more boring place? On a public forum you have a broad cross section of society in which you have to apply critical thinking in sifting out the horseshit from what is relevant to you as a player. People out there in the general public can be full of horseshit sometimes. You Tube is a great example, in which you can see a broad spectrum, ranging from the remarkable all the way down to the most easily debunked horseshit known to man. I don't have time to be bothered with paying attention to or be involved with personal attacks. As soon as it goes into name calling and personal attacks, you are scoring fairly high on the horseshit meter, but scoring entertainment value at someone's expense I guess. I try to stay focused on my performance at the table rather than what tampon Aunt Millicent is using this week and look for what I may find useful as a blackjack player with no time for nonsense. Attack the information, not the person. Norm goes to great lengths to keep the horseshit down to a dull roar, thankfully.

    Short and sweet! Great words to follow from a brilliant mind.

    Tarzan closed his post with:

    "

    All due respect Tarzan, I consider the above quote subjective, to say the least, as has been demonstrated by Norm's past history in posting as well as his current post demonstrated below. Whereby posters here see and read about recounts of another poster "a former barred poster here" opinions taking place on other various board sites.

    In The last post in the thread Attack on Norm, Norm wrote before closing the thread:

    "KJ today has for the third time in the last couple years posted how much better the world will be when I die. (In much grosser terms than that.) He has posted in multiple forums in the past that he will celebrate when Shackleford and I die among his now over 1,000 posts on six or seven forums spewing his hate."

    I am sure that many, many posters here besides myself do not have the faintest idea of what is taking place on some of these other web sites, that we do not even visit period. Subsequently in my mind Norm is expanding the problem, instead of ignoring them and let his reputation speak for itself. There is a damn good reason why most posters here could care less about all the bullshit "more likely not even aware" of what is taking place on other sites, and Norm, that reason is your members objective is to become better players. By posting these stories on your site Norm you are insulting them. Thank's Norm for letting me express my opinion.

    Bosox, I respond to fewer than 1 in 100 of such posts. There have been literally thousands of such posts, and I have also been receiving illegal e-mails and obscene phone calls. The same is true of posts against Mike. And Ken shut down his site because of threats from some of the exact same people. These posts are made using my real name. Many believe that silence means that you admit the posts are true. While I will remain silent 99% of the time -- you are going to have to put up with me making a rare comment when someone longs for my death.

    Frankly, I also think it is useful to point out people in the AP world that can cause you trouble should they find some reason to turn against you.

    Yeah but Norm he has the unbeatable strategy for his "army" to take down casinos everywhere by betting $10 at +4TC and $15 at +5 and then 2 hands of $250 at +6 and if you lose that you double it to 2x500! What can go wrong with that spread?!
