I actually like gman's sig, .. in an unintentionally funny sort of way....Unless you were talking about my sig.. which isn't so much trying to be funny as a statement of fact.

Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have a theory that anyone who drinks and some how has thier identity tied into Pabst Blue ribbon is a complete anal wart.... So far, it's holding up.. hey buddy, just 'cause Dennis Hopper drank it in a movie, doesn't mean it's good.First time I ever played at the Greektown Casino in Detroit there was this skinny redneck sitting at my table. He was there donking off a couple hundred bucks with his buddy. This guy was a perfect stereotype of a redneck, right down to his mullet. When he got drunk enough he decided to treat the table with a glimpse of his brand new tattoo. He opened his ratty shirt to expose his skinny left tit. Whereupon we could see the shiny new ink of not one but two PBR emblems - each about the size of a softball.Klassy. Link to post Share on other sites

Haha. Anyways, I just think it's funny that you show sympathy for a stone cold cheater but you make a crass joke about a guy who clearly has a weakness that could kill him. Not saying I'm offended. 'Cos I'm not. Far from it. Just saying it's an interesting mix. Link to post Share on other sites

Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 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? No. I wouldn't, and neither would any reputable news organization. Citing an Internet Forum as a "source" wouldn't be appropriate for a highschool paper, much less a serious article on anything other than rumor and gossip.I will say one thing in defense of Texasholdem.com - their article was bassically on rumors regarding VV - but I still don't think it is responsible to "report" on unsubstantiated rumors contained in Internet Forums.

If, and I didn't read the article because I've never visited the site, they prefaced whatever they wrote by saying it was purely speculation at this point then I don't see an issue with it. The poker community is relatively small and so is Texasholdem.com so it's not like we're talking about CNN.com taking a quote off some pundit's MySpace page regarding political scandals. I know your rebuttal will probably be something along the lines of "they should still act responsibly" but then it comes down to you and I disagreeing on what defines responsible in this particular case.

keith crime 8 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I posted the article on the Vinh rumors and I understand what you all are saying and was concerned about it myself.My thinking was that 1. Daniel Posted his quote on his site which is pretty close to an official statement and 2. Since Daniel was on record I wanted to point out the other 2+2 quotesI did my best to say hey these are from message boards and could be totally worthless but if you are interested they are out there for anyone to look atI totally understand that the whole thing is borderline - but it's an interesting story and I did my best to say - I have no idea but this is what's flying around - it obviously needs to be taken with not just a grain but a whole pitcher of saltBrad Link to post Share on other sites
Totalbluff 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I thought the article was fine. And the quotes were from people I felt were reputable and definately had first hand knowledge.Virtual mediums are the standard now a days for first hand reports. While I think you have to be wary of who you are citing, I see nothing wrong with quoting from an internet forum.We were having a discussion on my forum once about the ethics of raising quickly heads up when a player gets disconnected in a tournament. One of my posters emailed Linda Johnson to get her opinon and her next article in Cardplayer was nothing but quotes from the forum discussing it.The only thing that bothered me about the article was that she didn't mention my forum's name lol.
