Ocho11 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I can't get enough of this guy when he's on a roll... Now he's gotten into it w/ folks over at 2+2: http://extempore.livejournal.com/122227.htmlclassic stuff, excellent job brining all of this to light in the first place DN!here's the 2+2 link: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...&fpart=all&vc=1 Link to post Share on other sites
blueodum 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I partcipated in that Paul Phillips thread at 2+2. In my opinion, all he was offering was some constructive criticism, albeit in a "no holds barred" manner.2+2 do seem pretty thin-skinned, if they would delete a thread merely for those comments.

RayPowers 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hey, on the bright side we know he has an account here. Maybe he'll post here now that he is banne don 2+2. :PRay Link to post Share on other sites

167-169 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That was funny!Mason is chubby geek and actually wrote a letter asking PP to apologize to him and the forum. (Who does he think he is?) Why write such a letter when he knows the answer, he'd be better off not sending PP a message. This proves his intelligence, Sklansky might be better off with another partner. While reading the PP blog, I actually burst out laughing. It just seemed so childish. PP's original thread wasn't even that offensive IMO. Very sensitive people. I'd like to see PP post here but that's a longshot I think. Are him and DN buds? Or just poker friends? Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenTee 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 2+2 banned him. Link to post Share on other sites
MDBLakers 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'd like to see PP post here but that's a longshot I think.He does post here. http://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-forums/s...uthor=extemporeHopefully now he'll post here more. Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Paul always comes across as an arrogant condescending tool.When he's usually right and surrounded by Phil Hellmuth loving idiots that's how would come across.I think he's not so diplomatic - but admittedly so online. In person, he's as nice as any guy. I haven't really seen him say anything wrong or stupid yet - and for someone posting on the internet that's pretty good. In order to really be arrogant, you need to show unwarranted importance (and usually be wrong). As for condescending... sometimes that is the only tone that can come out when you're talking to or correcting arrogant individuals. Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 2+2 banned him.I hope we never experience this. Sure warn a guy. Suspend posting for a bit while people cool down. But, ban a popular pro (who writes) for life like that?Bad moderation!No surprise of the egos involved though (all around). It's a loss for 2+2 and makes them look bad to a new generation of online readers.Again, I hope FCP never experiences this type of moderator vs user conflict. We can be a better community than that!

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I like Paul a WHOLE lot. I read his post there and still haven't found any cause for it's deletion. It's absurd. I would love to see Paul post here more as he clearly has a ton to add. Link to post Share on other sites
Oziumrules 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I would love to see Paul post here also. I have read many of his posts at 2+2 and they are very good. We need all the poker knowledge we can get! Link to post Share on other sites

Rasty 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have to say -- following this discussion on 2 + 2 all day, having it lead back to PP's journal, and to old RGP threads, back to 2 + 2, etc. really gave me a new appreciation for FCP.Things around here have perhaps been a little shaky of late, but a big dose of the 2 + 2 fluff and the RGP sludge made me realize that the FCP porridge is just right.Just sayin' is all.

getarealjob 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Paul is a great asset to poker. I just wish he'd play more and be more active in our community either tongue-in-cheek or seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
Elpedro 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Paul's response to Mason was quite possibly the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I really hope the 2+2 guys read it because it would be too bad if it fell on deaf ears. Link to post Share on other sites
finztotheleft 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Wow.....and I thought I was the language police ! That whole thread/mess at 2=2 is bizzare. What he said, while obviously meant to criticize harshly, wasn't that bad on language. I've certainly seen a lot worse over there. A little consistancy in their banning would be nice. Daniel has had to put up with a lot worse from some posters here (direct insults to him) than just insults to the interface and over the zealousness of a moderator. Hopefully, their loss will be our gain. Link to post Share on other sites
-caveman- 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 LOL, they have added a poll to lift the banhttp://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthre...=3904556&page=0 Link to post Share on other sites
blueodum 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't think the poll matters.Knowing a little bit about the type of person Paul is through his web journal, I think there is less than a 0.1% chance of him ever posting at 2+2 again, even if Malmuth and Sklansky apologize and ask him back (which is less that 0.01% likely).I've seen burned bridges before, but the one between 2+2 and PP has been torched beyond recognition.

TJ_Eckleburg 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 For those that remember Paul's first posts here...I was an FCP noob when Paul Phillips and Smash went head to head. It was like me being a child watching a battle of titans in flame wars. Link to post Share on other sites
theredpill99 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Finally, someone who agrees with me about 2+2. I gave up on that whole site about 2 months ago. The whole site just about gave me an ulcer. I must have went through 20 screen names. Link to post Share on other sites

theredpill99 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 My question is how can you have a "discussion forum" if no one is allowed to post any opposing viewpoints like Paul Phillips did ? Link to post Share on other sites
