Last night I became very tilted and angry for a number of reasons.
I found it unfair that this thread with my full name in it was allowed to go on for as long as it did without any proof whatsoever being provided that I was guilty of anything I was accused of.
One of the first accusations leveled against me stated that "Me and my streetwalker girlfriend" stole money. It was agreed upon the amount I was accused of stealing was $140. I played for Druff a voicemail from Raw/Slim that clearly stated he didn't want me to come to The rio to bring back his change and receipts. Also, I sincerely expected nothing for doing him these favors and it was only at his insistence that I kept the change for helping him.
He had almost a week to provide proof in this thread, yet did not. He only continued to level the same accusations towards me.
Friends, family, my poker peers listen to this podcast. My reputation in this city is paramount to me, as I'm sure most of you can understand.
It was agreed days before that unless raw/slim provided some proof that I in some way stole/scammed him, that he would not get air time to slander me further.
I understand the chat wanted to hear him for the lulz, but at my expense, I found this unfair.
It is one thing for two forum posters (i.e. badguy23, tmlk) to duke it out on the radio, but again I am someone whose name is out there, who lives in Vegas and interacts with many people who listen to this podcast.
I understand that the pressure from the chat forced Druff and Vwls to ask me to allow him on. I understand they didn't want to appear as if they were protecting me. That is also why I did not want to trash raw/slim as i thought that would also be unfair since he was not going to be allowed to respond on air.
I realized if I didn't relent and let Raw/slim speak, it would look like I was hiding something, which isnt the case.
To me this sets a very bad and ugly precedent where someone is allowed to level allegations against someone (and again using my full name) show no proof after a sufficient amount of time, yet be allowed air time on a show I DO FOR ENJOYMENT AND AM NOT COMPENSATED FOR.
The way all this has been handled and him appearing last night ruined my mood and desire to continue last night. Instead of sitting there quiet and angry throughout the rest of the show, I chose to leave.
I know Druff and Vwls meant no harm in putting me on the spot, as they felt they were on the spot as well. Over the last few months Druff and I have talked hours and he has become a good friend to me. Ironic.
At the same time, again I am not happy about how this has been handled since the beginning and I will reevaluate in the next week what my future plans are.
