Other than Daniels Poker Journal and the Player Profiles there seems to be no reason to even read any of the topics on the forum, There is never anything but Sarcastic responses and Useless Name calling. People ask Legitimate Questions and only recive Snide remarks from it seems always the same people. These People have nothing better to do than Verbaly Berate members of the Forum.Someone Wrote that they saw Phil Ivey, He mispells Ivey and the entire thread is people commenting on spelling Ivey wrong.99% of this forum has no usefull content.By insulting players and people who post ligitimate comments and questions not only do you look Dumb, But you Disrespect Daniel As Well, If we know anything about Daniel its that he is a very tolerant Person. The new Forum Motto Should be ``If you have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all``

It's good to know there is always someone who thinks they need to tell you what to say and when and where to say it.How refreshing!

Now see here. If you want to make a posting about how people post, please learn to capitalize correctly. All the ups and downs make it hard to focus on the content of you message. As for the Ivey thing I never read that thread. But how would you feel if someone misspelled your name and no one brought it to thier attention?And is that a firm 99%? Can you tell me how that percentage number came to be. I know that in my research at least 3% of the posts are helpful. How am I disrespecting Daniel with my posts? These are my ideas, not his. I know that in Daniels pubic persona he appears to be a tolerant person. But when we don't see him I have no idea what he's like. He may not tolerate anyone who thinks that "Enterprise" was a bad idea. How do you know this???And besides, if I want to call someone an idiot that does not mean I will not tolerate them. I'll tolerate someone all day if I must, but that doesn't change that someone from being an idiot.

What? I swear I never know what this kid is talking about. I thought my mind was randomized, but this kid ... sometimes I think he is still reading a different thread when he posts.

LOL, this was the most predictable thing in the world. As a matter of fact, I called this place a mini-RPG months ago. Unfortunately for Daniel, I was right.I knew the day one of the admins deleted one of my suggestion posts, yet left tens of others posts with bickering...But then again...I really have no interest in seeing people such as these become better poker players....as long as they bring their money to the table, they can whine at each other all they want :D

Checkraise makes an argument about how this forum has degenerated into petty name-calling and everyone just goes and proves his point correct! The comments that mock him as God and his capitalization are ridiculous as well. He's making a suggestion about how people could conduct themselves in this forum. He's not censoring you or inhibiting your right to speak. If you're going to criticize him for saying something, then you've fallen victim to your own hypocrisy by trying to censor someone else.I started reading the twoplustwo forum yesterday and highly recommend for those of you looking for more constructive comments.

Agreed. And thanks for the heads up on the 2+2 forum.It seems that some people are worried more about their post count than the content of the posts/forum.

I agree that a lot of people are more concerned about their forum count than their suggestions/criticisms but you can't really censor people on a public forum for speaking their minds either
Awwwww, I almost have a straight!

I agree with you 100%... I have tried to comment about this before and it is useless... "they" will just use this thread to post more useless posts. Trust me, you can't win against this.... It is hard to weed through the posts to actually get information.Have a great day! :D
