Who needs a TV when there's massive entertainment right here on your friendly forum?

We're currently overdosing on libel...slander...solicitors...lawsuits...threats...he said this...she said that...no I didn't...lawyers...torts (I love jam torts)...and other demonstrations of childish playground behaviour.

Yep. All that and more on a gambling forum that in the wider scheme of things is basically no more than a pimple on the bum of life.

Whatever happened to Common Sense? Whatever happened to ignoring attempts to wind people up?

I commend this to you all: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/02/what_ever_happened_to_common_sense.html

And -- guess what?  You can even buy his book on Amazon. Wow. Fancy that.

That is, of course, if you've got any money left after buying book after book after book -- ad nauseum -- on playing baccarat. (Caveat Emptor...Caveat Lector.)

Now I haven't told you before about all my degrees, have I? I'm currently working on my PhD thesis which is loosely titled The Sociology of Forums And The Role Of Common Sense.

After reading the latest chapter my supervisor reckons she hasn't laughed so much in a long while.

I mention all that so you know I write with authority (lolol) and please do keep an eye out for my latest book. It will be called The Stupidity Of Humanity.  Might even be available on Amazon as well. (Caveat Emptor...Caveat Lector.)

Me taking sides in this pathetic saga?  Nope.  The only side I'm on is The Side of Common Sense.  Well...sort of...

I only have one question.,,, did you invent a pricing strategy yet for your forthcoming book???  And how many parts???  And will you strategize it so you have to buy the future books to actually figure anything out?  Oops 3 questions,

My Golden Stream marketing strategy will  answer all those excellent questions. 

They buy Version 1 Basic but soon find alternate pages are blank apart from a message telling them Version 2 contains the missing information. 

The strategy repeats for each of the following versions.

Version 10 is the last one in the Basic editions, but we have plans for Intermediate and Advanced editions, each of which will have 20 versions.

But wait -- it gets better.  In our unique pricing strategy (to answer that question) Version 1 starts off at $10.  Each version thereafter increments by $10. So, for example, version 8 costs $80, of course. 

Income also flows from the other versions and editions. The justification for the price increases is that you're learning more and more of great value.

I expect by now you can see why I call it the Golden Stream. 


Version 10 Basic summarises the two things buyers will have learned by then. These are:

1  there's one born every minute

2  fools and their money are easily parted


And for having bought all 10 Basic versions they will receive in the mail a free, pointed hat wear to with pride.

It's the eye-dee-ten-tea hat.   And it looks like this:  ID10T

esoito,

You're right of course, this is "only" a gambling forum, nevertheless, rules is rules. Apparently the guy with the biggest wallet doesn't have to abide by them. Double standards just ain't cricket.

Whatever happened to me being taken off post moderation?

You're actually on the Watch list. 

Make the right choices in your posts and you won't end up back on post moderation or worse.

It's entirely up to you.

Yes you're correct, Stephen was wronged, he complained, he was banned and his provoker and the member who set out against him was allowed to remain. Damn sickening shame.

Over and out

Never mind. Happy winnings, Sham!

Over and out.

A.

Just to reiterate, my complaint was not againt alrelax, but what I perceived to be one-sided moderation, which was subsequently acknowledged by at least one mod. I had no intention of endorsing Stephen's books.

I do not watch TV at all ) There are much more interesting things around us to do !

OMG!  TV?  You mean everyone does not watch 'All in the Family' or the opposite racism of the 70's with 'The Jefferson's'?  Or, 'Kojak'?  Or, the coolest and smartest detective ever 'Columbo'?  'The Dukes of Hazard' or 'Mannix'  The original Batman or the Flintstones??

Now we have 'Live PD' where you can actually witness the drunken people driving swearing over God they never had a drink--well, some them might admit they had one.  Or, the cracked out meth addicts stealing the items you and I bought our kids or family members.

Or, you can flip through the channels and buy a book or a DVD that will change your life forever, only 5 payments of $49.99 and you will make millions the first year, but for you and for today only, 3 payments of $39.99!!!

And in fact, there are numerous shows on TV where you can watch to make notes on your next tattoo or place you want to get your face, nose or ears pieced and insert something 25 times the size of a normal metal stud or earring, etc.

Esoito,

Am I included in your PhD thesis?
