Devorzon 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 My Full Tilt chat got banned apparently because I made a joke about Phil Ivey's personality. What the hell? I tried contacting support and it's been two days and they still haven't gotten back to me. Whenever I now try to chat a box comes up that says my chat is inactive and to contact support for further assistance. The stupid thing is I only remember using the chat to type around 3 sentences. I was watching Phil Ivey play $1000-2000 limit hold 'em, and people were talking about how great he is. So I thought I've have some fun and just typed in "with all his money, it's too bad he can't buy a personality". After a few more replies from the railbirds telling me to go to hell and so on, I just responded something like how it just seems he has pretty dull personality. What's the big deal about this? It was only a joke and not even an offensive one. Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 If you've got nothing better to do than insult Phil Ivey in chat (after you have specifically tracked him down)... then it's probably best that they put the little child in detention for a while. Link to post Share on other sites

logic411 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I have no tolerance for racist people. Ban Devorzon for life.Here come the ban nazi's again. Though his comment may be racist, it is not definitely so. Perhaps he is making a sociological point, referring to society's want for positive black role models thereby elevating people whom they would not normally do so. Or perhaps he's some Hitler worshipping Neo-Nazi? Point is, who are you to decide when there is definitely some room for interpretation? Link to post Share on other sites

It was only a joke and not even an offensive one.I guessing you don't know him personally. But I bet Phil has a lot more personality away from the card table. I think during poker he is very focused and doesn't talk much. Which definitely can't hurt him, because some players that talk to much give away information. Plus if you are busy talking it is harder to pick up on other peoples' tells Link to post Share on other sites

Point is, who are you to decide when there is definately some room for interpretation?don't try to make what you think is an intelligent point and spell definitely with an a, twice.There's no room for interpretation. Phil Ivey is overrated? What is he, just luckier than everybody else? Why would anyone have to "elevate" him? He's already at the top. Elevate him higher than the top?
