I do feel bad about some of the stuff I wrote in that thread. She was the innocent party in that story (where a dude was rude to her at the table), and I should have just stuck to discussing that element, and not gone into the whole backstory about her lifestyle. I wasn't trying to be malicious or insulting. It was just my habit of trying to give the readers the complete picture of everything going on. However, since she was the victim in this situation, and her reputation in the community was good, I should have stayed away from anything which could come off as judgmental. So I can understand why the thread upset her, and why her friends were upset by it.

I wish I could go back 3 months and have written it differently, and not just because of the mob going after me right now.

The main point of this site is to call out the shitty people/companies in poker and gambling, and to help out the innocent people screwed by them. I don't want to hurt innocent people, so I need to be more mindful regarding what I write sometimes. This doesn't apply to people who purposely post material on social media to cause controversy, or people who write ridiculous shit, but neither of these apply to Lindsey, who was not tweeting for notoriety or clicks.

So I do wish I could take it back, and I'm going to try to avoid doing things like this in the future.

Lindsey, if you read this, I apologize. I am not posting this on Twitter because I don't wish to feed the sanctimonious mob, but I do apologize to you and your friends who were rightfully upset by my post.
This is nice of you to do so publicly, Druff. What happened was blown up into a huge issue I guess because that's what people like to do nowadays. People who listen to the show know you've been respectful of women and that you didn't mean any harm. I listened to the recording on Twitter. These people were out for your neck long before you came onto the show and were acting as though you had committed some great sin by talking about someone's relationship(s) or discussing why a person would not be sponsored. I think they also held you personally responsible for the entirety of the thread and whatever was said when only a portion of what was said was said by you. I didn't comment in the thread but did read it. It was an interesting subject about something that happened publicly and about which people are allowed to have a discussion.

Unless these people want to come across as worse snowflakes with small 1st world problems they should just accept what you've said and move onto their next target.
