I didn't write the article or start the thread and Cardcore is in NY.Just sayin'.But I don't think it's very odd, considering the poker forums and the poker world here are pretty well connected. And to call it disturbing is pretty crazy. We knew about it before it was on the forums, so nobody is taking information from there, but I assume Brad was just using it for extra insight that players may have posted.
I like you guys and think you do good work... ...however, if you are trying to become a trusted source of information, quoting Internet Forums is "pretty crazy" - especially when it involves innuendo, speculation, and gossip regarding a player's reputation and potential personal issues.I'm Just Sayin'

Depends on who you're quoting, actually. If they were to quote Daniel in his forum, it'd be perfectly acceptable. You just ignored that part. There's a caveat to almost anything in journalism.I'm Just Sayin'

I have a couple follow up questions for ya since every time I look at your post(s) about this subject it/they appear more asinine than the previous read ...When someone writes an article centered around a speculative story (such as this Vinny Vinh situation) they are going to quote people making speculative statments ... i.e. "he didn't look right", "he looked like he was on something" etc. etc.So what's the difference if the author takes his quote from the spoken word, or if he pulls it off a poker forum after verifying that the poster was really at the event, casino, or even the same poker table with Vinny Vinh? What if a well known blogger like Dr. Pauly or Change100 or Mean Gene were to write a short blurb saying Vinny looked coked out the last time they saw him? It sounds like you're just assuming that anything someone posts in a forum is a lie or isn't credible. I think you're older (right?) so maybe you're just fighting change and the way that news is reported now. If someone like Tommy Rau or JC Alvarado posted here and said they saw Vinny shortly before he fell off the face of the earth and he looked like he'd been up for days and on drugs, you'd totally ignore that and not use it if you were writing an article?

If I were you, I'd make him a nice piece of pottery, and then shoot him an email, asking for his address, and explaining that you have a lovely piece of pottery for him... I think he would appreciate the gesture, and it would be a good starting point for a beautiful relationship.

Dr. Pauly is reporting in his blog that Vinny has been found....alive.No film at 11.Nothing further.http://taopoker.blogspot.com/
a testament to vinny vinh's popularity (from linked blog above):" 'There are a lot of holes in the desert,' is an expression I heard at least a dozen people say on Friday.""Alas, he's alive" ummmmmmm, i would not want to be vinny vinh. at least if god forbid that were to happen people would say rip gmanshade. there are a lot of holes = i hope you died a painful anonymous death. that's the ultimate bad beat.note that the taopoker blogger also uses the exact quotes in the same order i posted them in the earlier (now closed) thread. where is the mention of my name at least???? i should become a poker journalist-it seems like i am the source of all the important infodon't they know how gmanshade playyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssssssssssssssss?

people say this to me all the time, and i always say the same thing:show me a better beer that costs $8.99 for a 30 packit is not the best beer, but it is the best cheap beer. compare it to beast, natty ice, rolling rock, and other bargain basement beers and there is no comparisoni'd been drinking it for a couple years b4 i even saw blue velvet

seriously, say something useful for onceI have a theory that you have not made a post of any substance except to attack anyone in the last month; I also have a theory that nothing you write is funny; I have another theory that says that your attempt at rickrolling is about all you can think of for humor; At what point is enough, enough? lots of people flame, but at least they try to be creative and funny, what are you trying to be?It isn't personal man, but with that many posts, you could clearly be a useful contributor instead of a pain

I'm sure you have no idea how creepy this makes you sound.I chuckle now, but we'll all be mourning when you make wind chimes out of Hellmuth's balls.
