I have seen players that say they always win, that they have this system and that system, but usually its all bullshit! As for 3, I would have to vote for the bull!

I'm the same way, Kevin. Give me the good or bad, but give it to me straight. That's more honesty, than abrasive, though. I was once very much on your side of the fence with the same opinion of T3, we would go back and forth for days and weeks about a great many topics, to the point that I felt so annoyed I even took a long hiatus from the forum. When I came back, T3 was still the same, but somehow we were arguing less and agreeing more, it was weird, almost as if someone had replaced the processor on the "Little Robotic Asian Woman" (inside joke). The reality of it was that, with a clearer mind and no real opinion to defend, I was able to read his posts with much greater clarity. I respect the hell out of T3 because he's one of maybe two or three people on this forum who can understand the raw value of being an AP, even outside of blackjack, without having to be spoonfed the complete information on what "game" it is being taken advantage of. Since then, I've gone back to read some of his posts from around that time and understand what he was trying to say to me while I was being stubborn.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that communication here on the forum can be a fickle thing. Most all of us are pretty solid dudes in real life. I suspect even Don S isn't the shrewd "get off my lawn" grandpa that I believe him to be. Its an easy thing to pick someone out on a forum we don't like simply based on how they post, or based on public opinion, perhaps even because we've misunderstood their posts.

We definitely looked like Arch Enemies early on, then ZenKing came in for a while and took some of that attention away from you. It took me a while to realize, though we often had different opinions, at the end of the day we were both on the same side, and you were an ally to be had, not an enemy.

For me, that's the purpose of the forum. But I've got to admit these cast of characters makes it fun and entertaining.
He is a very bright guy, and definitely a bit of a character.

You made the mistake of thinking T3 was even Human
