    Yes, that's my opinion and someone will have to convince me otherwise to change it. Someone has to have some principles around here. I would urge members here not to post on that site and also urge those who have signed up over there to reconsider. All they are doing is feeding the troll, LarryS.

    How ironic is it that members of WoV signed up here to defend WoV from the attacks in the "Wizard is Dying" thread but now have aligned themselves with the main culprit in that thread, the one guy who has taken attacks on Michael Shackelford to unparalled heights, LarryS. I would be laughing if it weren't so sad.

    I guess some thought I would go along with the crowd. Nope. I don't play follow the leader. I blazed my own trail in the gambling world and I do the same on issues like this one. My opinion cannot be bought, sold or otherwise influenced.

    And why would I go out of my way to join a site just to be in contact with LarryS again? He contributes nothing of a positive note to the gambling forums. All he does is troll and disparage people.

    Larry got what he deserved here. He simply refuses to abide by the rules and thinks he is above everyone. That he should be able to break the rules and get away with it. He rails against censorship yet how many posts here did he get sent to off topic?

    Anyone who aligns themself with Larry and that site is sadly misguided.

    Com'on Mickey.....Larry is just a good 'citizen' looking out for his online "neighbors". ;) He apparently has great concerns for how these "neighbors" are treated on other sites, but yet on any site that he is on, he is the one abusing other members and doing all the name calling and personal attacks....In short....NOT acting very neighborly. o_O Larry likes to say he is concerned with how his "neighbors" are treated, while I am only concerned with me, me, me. His actions prove he doesn't give a shit about any "neighbors", therefore the only difference between Larry and criticizing WoV and Wizard, is that I am being honest about my reasons....feeling I was treated badly....not hiding behind this obviously insincere "neighbors" nonsense.



    I agree Larry got what he deserves, not have this site be his personal soap box. He got away with that for way too log. I am glad management institute some rules that Larry finds objectionable to and left. The guy clearly does not participate on any site with the intent to contribute in a positive manner. His purpose is to troll, agitate, annoy and hopefully start drama and fights. That is his entertainment in his life that he finds unfulfilling. he ants to take bitterness and misery out on others. But enough about Larry....he is the exact reason most sites have a "block" feature.

    Now, all that being said, obviously I signed up and have participated at the site. I am not aligning myself with Larry, but I also will not allow him to dictate where I decide to or not to participate. I have blocked him and will not respond even if I see something from him because someone quoted him. He is insignificant and irrelevant to me. He just doesn't exist.

    My top priority is to participate on topics of blackjack and AP. Because I have been banned at the top blackjack and AP sites by someone trolling me, Wattenberger (Qfit) because he doesn't like my opinions, and by Shackleford, who inexplicably, decided to aide or enable Wattenberger in his attempt to censor and shut members of the community, I am limited on where I can participate, and the sites I am on have very limited blackjack type discussion for me to share my experiences. So I do what I can do.

    I try not to get too involved in the politics of it all, sometimes not that successfully. o_O I really don't care about any of the personal stuff. So I am going to just continue to do my thing, as best I can....where I want. Someone like Larry or the many Larry types out there isn't going to deter me and I don't subscribe to the idea that I have to make a choice between sites. I hope you might consider that same mentality and if you find something interesting or to your liking, post, if not don't. But don't empower a LarryS to make that choice for you.

    I don't really care what site I'm at. I just want to keep it down to one or two, there are way too many sites that people are scattered around at.

    As far as this site goes, I don't like how the administration runs things. I don't like all the accounts that seem to be fake, or whatever you want to call it. This site just felt a little slimy to me from day one. That won't keep me from posting here, nor will Larrys after he tried to shame me for continuing to post here. I won't avoid a place LarryS is at either. I can see why some people might want to avoid him, his main goal seems to focus on trying to tear people down. Anyone can see Larry loves to argue and stir up shit whenever possible.
    -----------------------------------------------------
    I will say that I like the different functions of this site.

    Not sure if the admin still has me on a slow down or not, but there's a problem somewhere.

    This entire thread should be moved to the graveyard off-topic and not remain in the miscellaneous gambling thread. It is filled with insults and it really has nothing to do with gambling. It's no different than the WOV is dying thread. I assume they leave it up because they like the fact that its disparaging another forum.

    The gambling forums should be moved to the dump of lost losers and psychopaths.

    Axel, you are a dream come true for Larry. No doubt , you will attract viewers and members....and give Larry what he wants, a pulpit to spew his venom.

    Its a great name for a gamblung forum. And some great guys on it. But larry is and will turn it into a cesspool.

    How ironic it is that you call for this thread to go to off-topic but you have a prominent thread over there called GF sucks.

    And you call it a free speech site but right off the bat you were considering banning someone.

    I don't think anyone takes him seriously. I won't avoid a place just because of Larry, just like I won't stop posting here.

    I don't think I'll be posting much at either site.

    Shackleford took him seriously and banned him from his site. Larry has acted like he doesn't know why he got banned for two years now. He was banned because he wouldn't follow the rules. Larry took his revenge by bashing and ridiculing Shack in the "Wizard is Dying" thread for two years. Larry used to claim he was a founding member of that thread but now is saying "I didn't start that thread." He's backpedaling somewhat to keep you guys on the hook.

    Larry was happy as a pig in mud with GF as long as he got his way. But when he found out that he wasn't going to get the favoritism from admin that he so righteously deserved-and that admin would treat him just like anyone else-things started to go south. He got highly upset when the Wiz thread got moved from the Lounge to Miscellaneous. He was pissed for one reason. He saw it as a loss of viewership of his posts. Larry was afforded every opportunity on GF to follow the rules. He is just not capable of it.

    And what did you guys do? You gave him another pulpit.

    Larry wants as big an audience as possible on the new site. And that's where you guys come in. He figures you to attract viewership....which is what he really wants for his posts filled with negativity. If that's what you guys want then so be it. But don't expect me to show up there.

    Trust me, Larry is going to dominate your new site.

    If moderation ever gets introduced Larry will be in trouble. He simply cant follow rules. Then he will go back to Gamblers Glen and rail against three forums.

    Meh. Did some reading on that new forum....doesn't seem interesting or like much is going on. Speaking of which, how come a bunch of people are on it and I hadn't even heard about it until earlier today or yesterday (when I saw this thread)?

    Nothing all too interesting on this forum here, either. Definitely some weird shit going on here from day one, or at least since I started reading here. Never seen a forum with so many people's usernames being regular first-names, people marking their location as being from all around the world, and just the sense many posters aren't real.

    Maybe the posters here are real and this place is a total outlier, but I definitely don't get that sense.

    I had to look at the date to see how many days I've been dry. I'm 138 days in, about 4 and a half months. And as you all can see, larry has his so called suspicians about that. I don't care if he believes it or not. He just uses things like that to degrade others. Just like the drunk driving thing. I would never drink with my car in my possession. There was no such thing as stop at a bar and grab a drink. My drunks were all pre-planned. The car was left in the driveway, the keys on top of the TV. I walked or took a cab to the bar and returned home the same way. I had a good reason for operating like that. I knew myself to well. There was no such thing for me as stopping for one drink. If I had one drink I was going to have a lot more. Not good when you've got the car with you. I'm no ones fool. The cost of a drunk driving charge is like minimum $10,000. And I did it that way to protect the public too. I also did everything I could to keep my buddies from driving drunk. Even if I was also drunk I would argue them out of it.

    The "gay contingent" thing is just Larry's snide way of getting another dig in. He knows heterosexual men take it as an insult to be called gay. That's what larry is all about. Insulting and degrading people. He should look in the mirror if he wants to see the real rat.

    Just as I predicted Larry is dominating the new site and has succeeded in turning it into a cesspool. No gambling talk with larry around, everything goes to the gutter. The tabloid journalism (fake news) he comes up with to try to hurt other people (larry is a spiteful, vengeful, old man) speaks volumes. He's crying inside as he lashes out at others.

    I registered and read some of the posts. Why would anyone post there?

    This place is weird and appears to have a bot population or something. That place is just one guy providing half the posts while blathering. LarryS should just host his own site without a forum and write op eds. But he's hooked on feedback as part of the "I have an audience" experience.

    Mr. V, should I remind you that larry and I are already on the same site. He has not "left" GF. He's still a member here until he asks to be banned. If he has a problem with me he should man up and post it here.

    Not likely to happen Mickey. I assume you are still winning the best advantage play for Mickey's well being. No need to reply.
