jsearles clearly made a bet with vegas1369 about his misuse of then/than. Since it became clear that he was going to lose, he changed his stance and found a reason in the semantics of his challenge to where it actually meant something different.
I read this with an open and neutral mind, and I got the same impression that vegas1369 (and nearly everyone else did): The bet was whether or not vegas1369 could come up with 25 examples of jsearles' misuse of then/than. This was what any reasonable person would take away from that challenge. To make such a challenge and then change its meaning based upon a semantic technicality is really scummy.
Wow dude... You read Jsearles' bullshit enough over 30 pages and you start to believe it. Unbelievable. I thought you were pretty reasonable, intelligent guy. Do you really believe the shit you just typed?
Make no mistake, this asshole knew exactly what the bet was, but then tried to find some bullshit technicality in the wording to get out of it. I seriously can't believe you are buying into that crap now.
Also, you don't see how this has anything to do with Druff or Searles place on PFA? Are you fucking kidding me? The site is called pokerFRAUDalert for Christs sake, and it's a forum based on gambling. If you can't see how this has EVERYTHING to do with Searles place on PFA, we really don't have anything left to discuss.
Steve-O,
during my time as a mod at DD I have dealt with this type of situation many times, and the protocol has ALWAYS been to ban unless the guilty party pays up, and Druff ALWAYS backed me on those decisions. This is one of the main reasons why I am pretty surprised no action has been taken.
At any rate, I've said all I can say about this, I am done talking about it, at least till Druff decides to finally chime in, if he ever does. Seems to me I have an extremely large majority agreeing with me here, something eventually will get done, or not, we'll see.
hmmm curious to how often you banned weissman and heeb?
The whole thing with Weiss happened long before I was a mod, which is why I wrote "during my time as a mod", and for whatever reason Druff, Micon and whoever else was modding back then did not ban him. Also, no one ever came to me and said "weiss scammed me, please give him the ultimatum of either being banned or paying up".
As far as Heeb goes, he was pretty much untouchable for whatever reason. Micon and Druff would have never approved of him being banned, and really I don't recall him ever scamming or welching, just begging for stakes and then playing games he wasn't supposed to. I remember when I first became a mod I did want to ban him, but was given a LOT of shit for wanting to do so. Again though, no one ever came to me and asked for him to be banned.
Thinking back, the first person I banned for scamming was OSA with his term paper scam, and he was given the ultimatum of paying up or being banned. We all know how that went.
The last person I banned for scamming was haywoodjablome?, who scammed Threeup3down. Very similar scam to what Jsearles pulled with me actually. Placed a bet without escrow then refused to pay when he lost.

There have been plenty in between those two over the years as well.
As far as why I haven't asked for Mike to be banned over the napkin shit...
1. There is a big difference between $50 and $500 and the challenge that Mike put up as opposed to the bet I entered into with jsearles. I could honestly care less about collecting from Mike. I like him, and the whole thing was more to jokingly bust his balls as opposed to collect from him. It did piss me off that he accused me of all the bullshit he did, but I'm not a dick and I know $50 means a lot more to him than it does to me. I also received a lot of PM's from people I like asking me not to try to collect from him. Yes, I played along with the whole 408 is a scammer thing on DD, but I never intended to collect from him, just fun to bust his balls and watch all the tilt that ensued.
2. Mike is a good guy at heart, we all know this, and I would never want to take the forums away from him, nor
would I want to take away the entertainment he provides to these forums. I felt the beating he was taking from Azzclown and company was plenty punishment enough.
3. Mike is battling a very serious drug addiction, and it was obvious during the whole napkin debacle he was not himself, and that's saying a lot when we are talking about 408. Add up all the content he has provided over the years, plus the fact that we all know he is really no danger to scam anyone, and it's an easy conclusion that he deserved a pass. Remember, I never entered into any bet with Mike, he just stupidly provided a challenge for me, and I obliged.
