This looks like Sparten to me.Originally Posted by sonatine
IIRC it was clear that his gibberish post stylings were mostly affectations he used for attention.
We used to discuss the other sites. Comparing and contrasting Full Flush to ACR.
As an example, Sparten got pretty passionate about issues like the 4 hours of late registration that ACR had. He didn't have a lot of time and felt this nonsense made playing tournaments impossibly burdensome. He had direct conversations with some manager there and shortly afterward told me there was some change that he felt he could take some credit for.
He was always big on issues that affected rec players like himself.
I am pretty apathetic about online poker and tournaments especially. I just enjoyed kibitzing with him about these things just for the conversation. He got pretty charged up about certain things.
His life in NY, his passion for shit, and his day that was 18 hours of all out hustle was in stark contrast to my life of idleness, apathy and sloth. Would feel like I had been doused with an ice bucket challenge after talking with him.
The writing style of course is an important element here. Note that grammatical accuracy would fall off in spots. He had luck with girlfriends who were pretty smart. He would have her punch up a post two on this site when I called him out. I think this is what you see here.
Sparten was as first level as they come. WYSIWYG. No affectation Tine although ISWYDT. He was genuine and guiless and you feel sorry for folks like that.
He is committed to settling up with Drexel. The whole episode is embarrassing to him thus his absence here.
So what exactly got him banned on 2+2?
