(I don't want to derail the Doyle Brunson thread any further)
I don't hope for anything to go one way or another way, you massive fucking retard.
Do you really think my, 'Brand,' means anything to me? I've got more than 15,000 posts as well as any number of articles at various gambling sites, and you think I give a shit about this place?
Do you know what I am going to do in the extremely unlikely event that the community comes at me here and makes me not want to participate?
Obviously, I'll kill myself. How could I ever live without you assholes I barely know?
No, I'd stop posting here. In what world do you think I give a fuck how I relate to this community and whether I post here or not? The only people here who I give even the slightest fuck about are those I know from elsewhere.
I stick up for Mickey Crimm because Mickey Crimm has always treated me well, so that's what matters to me. Who the fuck are you in gambling? Mickey Crimm is also one of the best pure machine AP's walking the Earth, so that's also kind of important.
I really don't give a shit what endears me, or does its opposite, to whom. I say what I want to say when I want to say it and everyone who doesn't like it can go fuck themselves. I'm here to communicate; not make friends. I couldn't possibly give less of a fuck about how the community here receives me.
I don't need to engender myself to Crimm, you fucking moron. Why would I need to engender myself to Crimm here? We have each other's E-Mail addresses and phone numbers and communicate semi-regularly. I jumped in and defended Crimm because I consider him a friend of mine.
The disrespect to Doyle I would have otherwise ignored, but since I was participating in the thread anyway, might as well mention.
From what I can tell, I'd rather have one Mickey Crimm having my back than the entire collective of everyone else here.
