I just got an email from Bob. He wants to know if it was safe to come back. I told him Yes .. No... Maybe. I have no idea. Mikes House Mikes Rules. I mean I earned my first suspension. I was in a black mood. As bad as when I was collecting in the early 60s and a guy stiffed me with counterfeit $20s. Hey. back then it was a big bill. Gas was 30 cents a gallon. Wonder if he use those same bills to pay his hospital bill ?

Anyway the first time I was GUILTY as charged. Now the second time WTF . Keep your finger off the trigger Mission Check my earlier thread Welcome To Fruita. I mean I asked a blonde is she was a dumb blonde . BOOM 3 days WTF This same blonde had no problem with that earlier. She even posted a LOL comment in reference to a dumb blonde joke from me. No disrespect to Mike or his lieutenants
Mikes house Mikes rules
But Babs, my wife in a parallel universe, has posted she is getting PMs from whiners. My term, not hers. Gee if you feel offended, say so. Don't say "Mommy Mommy , make him stop sticking his tongue out at me " in a PM. Hey, I can take criticism. I get a lot and rightly so. Especially when SooPoo Paradym or Math Extremist point out the errors of my ways. But this forum is almost too nicey nice now.
I almost miss MISTER Lubin and his remarks. Although I still am pissed about his mind reading act after Focus Group 1.
Mikes House Mikes rules
Bob, I don't know what to tell you. I mean remember when you and the gang would hang out at this certain kids house. Cause he had a smoking hot sister. Then she got married and moved out. Same thing here.

Just not as much fun in Mikey's house anymore.

I got a PM asking me to define a dumb blonde. and POS Gee Parent over Shoulder.. Same thing here. I was gonna say that somebody is probably a dumb blonde. Then thought I should say possibly . Then I thought WTF ??

Dumb Blonde
A person who cant really do anything right.
A dumb blonde is some one who has had enough of life and decides to hang herself and then a guy walks into the park and asks why she is hanging by her waist? she said that she tried to hang herself, he said then shouldnt the rope go around your neck?? she said i tried but then i couldnt breathe.

Was he suspended?

Don't compare yourself to Bob. You're funny and you make useful contributions to this forum. For example, you recently pointed it out when I was wrong about the back-betting thing in blackjack, which made me learn something, for which I am eternally grateful. Sure, you troll sometimes, but it's good-natured, light-hearted, and funny.

Isnt there a Free Speech section where anything can be said as long as it isnt federally or NV illegal????? I dont see it being used much so I wonder if its for real.

If someone could be accused of multi screen names.......and nuked.......I guess the invitation could be "for show".... In this climate..I wouldnt try it.

He must be burning up inside. So many missed opportunities here, especially now that Mission is back from his Vegas trip. I think Mission blasted Bob's fav downtown casino and played just about every negative ev game you can think of.

No one reads that other site DT forum or whatever its called. Anything Bob posts other there does not make it to this site.

That sounds about right. I've also heard some murmurings of disagreement about my opinion of Four Queens here on the Forum, and have, in fact, inserted a few addendums into my Review of The D.

I guess I should specify that all I am doing is reporting what I saw and experienced. I'm not saying that every room at Four Queens is horrible, or necessarily that nobody should ever go there, I'm simply saying that, in a sample size of one, I would not give Four Queens a second chance with respect to staying there unless the room was free. If the room was free, then I would give them a second chance, but I'd be prepared to immediately leave and go over to The D to get a room there, instead.

That doesn't invalidate my claims, besides, RudeBoiOi stayed with me that night, so I have corroboration as to how bad the room was. I wouldn't take a picture of that toilet because I believe the posting of same would violate the, "Keep it PG," rule of the Forum. It was nasty.

They might send me a free offer and I might check them out my next time out there, if they don't, I won't.

There are probably people on here who have stayed at Four Queens dozens of times over many years, and I will not hesitate to say that you can put more value on their opinion of the rooms than you can put on my opinion. They have more experience staying there. I had one. It was bad. That's all I'm saying.

Four Queens is still a great place to gamble, they offer good games, especially if one is a low-roller. Magnolia's is a pretty good place to eat, lots of value, nice coupons and they were better this trip than they were in my December trip. The bartenders and cocktail waitresses are all nice, the speed of drink service (at machines) is probably slightly slower than average. El Cortez, The D, Binion's and Fremont (in my experience) have faster drink service at machines...though Binion's is sometimes hit or miss.

I'm not saying Four Queens is a horrible property, I'll pop in and out of there many times each and every time I visit Vegas...I simply wouldn't give them another chance on me staying there unless I get a free offer.

Or that you were as confused as you were once about celebrity sports gamblers/boxers. Shrug. Never mind, I'll just add you to the list of people who aren't grateful if they are given any help whatsoever.

I guess EB doesnt recognize the prestige of this site that you do.

Again someone who projects their feelings upon someone else.

having communicated with him here and there it doesnt seem he is going through withrawl symptoms. For some reason maybe he doesnt view this site as important in the grand scheme of things as you do.

When he does come back it wont be because he needs to. He is not sad because "NO ONE" reads where he posts. I have seen people from here including wizard posting there....if you minimize those folks by calling them...."no one" thats up to you. You are of course not saying that zero people read there when you say "no one".
You are saying that NO ONE OF CONSEQUENCE....posts there. I am sure you can rationalize that in some way.

If you need to prop up your existence in the eyes of others by having bragging rights that you post in the more popular site.....have at it. Rather sad

whatever floats your boat.

That's hilarious. I've never stayed there, but I do have a room May 4-9 because it's one of about 4 places that DON'T have the resort fee. I'm renting a car, and plan to be all over town for the week, maybe just playing poker in the evenings at GN or Binions, or UTH at Golden Gate where the girls are sweeeeeet. I'll take some pics and post my critique as it happens.

If you have the Las Vegas Advisor, there is a coupon for $32 weekdays and $42 weekends at Golden Gate, and if you book using that coupon, then you do not have to pay the resort fee. At least, that's what they said when I called yesterday.

Further, and there are those who disagree with me about this, but I would not choose to book a place (or specifically choose not to book a place) because it does or does not have a resort fee. Personally, I just consider the resort fee as part of the room rate because, if a specific property did not charge a resort fee, then that property would simply have a higher room rate.

I have no opinion of the rooms at Golden Gate as I have never stayed there, but I do think the $32/$42 thing is a very strong offer if it can be booked with no resort fee. I also don't know what Golden Gate's policy on the matter is, but if they have the same policy as The D, you will have to purchase wireless Internet if you are not paying the resort fee. My AT&T 4G network worked well enough for my purposes at The D, and I assume, would have worked at Golden Gate.

I just ran into those nuns with pasties
a weekend ago on Fremont. Surely that
must "grind his gears." Also I'm losing
all my matchplays on roulette, and I heard
aceofspades just had a devastating run
at the tables. He muttered something
about a "voodoo doll" and I had an enormous
downswing at video poker recently as well.
Now I live in a van, down by the river and
talk to kids to motivate them to not be like
me. I still get my gambling on penny keno,
just for the juice.

First you seem to lie about a major issue,,,,,and I will get to that down the line


Well the world doesnt live by your tastes and values. Who cares what YOU would do in certain situations....the world doesnt use you as some sort of standard.

You should learn to post what you mean. FIRST 'no one" reads that other site....and now you back off on that.....when its pointed out that the wizard himself reads and posts there. Those people arent insignificant as you pompously suggest. Its not the numbers, but the quality of the people that makes a difference. Quality is obviously something you dont consider or value.

Now for the lie. Buzz never said that EB "WANTED" to return. He was simply asking if the climate here has changed. Kind of like me calling up a relative in Isreal and asking if it "safe" for me to walk the streets in their town. Not that I am thinking of flying out there....but just wanting to know if its any safer than it was in the past.
You putting your perceived exhaulted value of this site into the mind of EB is silly. He and many others dont view this site as something special. Buzz got it right...he was accurate....you got it wrong. How do I know this for certain????......I got it right from the horses mouth.

I dont speak for EB. He can indeed speak for himself....but like the wizard said....if he doesnt like the conditiosn here...dont let the exit door.......

The conditions havent changed and people can leave. And hopefully they can leave without people joking about betting on their possible death, or instilling their personal values onto them like you do making him seem like a person needing this site, craving to come back. You are speaking as you do many times without knowing the facts, or refusing to recognize the facts. Facts are sometimes important.

Others are thinking the same thing....trust me on that one

I will admit I miss Bob. Lou Costello was one of my heroes growing up. Meet him once in his cousin's bar, Zizzimo's , in Baltimore.
But even in Who's on first, Lou need Abbott to be a straight man.

Back in 80's when I would call NY TEL on a trouble, if a tech did not know the answer, he would say THIRD BASE !

It always cracks me up. What a classic !

Aren't the rules the same on DT as they are on WoV? Why would Evenbob post over there but not like the rules here? It doesn't make sense to me.



are there different people enforcing the rules over there? I dont know the answer to that. Rukes are rules...but if its not a police state over there.....with the same rules it may be a better climate. I dont know...I am just thinking out loud.

They are supposed to be but admin very lax there. Direct personal insults de rigueur and no finger is lifted.

Well, that's diversity isn't it. One man's compliment is another's insult. EH, Face ?

I gotta say that I don't understand this thread, or Evenbob for that matter. Seems like some of the members of the site are unhappy with wizards policies and doing a lot of crying. Whatever! ??

Now, you want to suggest that EB has stopped posting at 14,999 because he is unhappy with the direction of the site. Really? Was he unhappy at post number 14998? How about 14,997? 14,996? Seems to me to be just another case of the EvenBob 'dramas'. Remember the guy that stopped posting for 6 months because he was unhappy with the outcome of the election. lol.

If you want to stop posting EB, because you don't like the direction things are going, go for it! :) But you won't. You can't! You can't even not weigh in on topics during this self imposed....whatever it is. I, myself have received 7 PM's from Evenbob, during this hiatus, expressing his thoughts on different topics and threads. And I'd be willing to bet other's have as well. (oh and btw, it's not a violation for me to state that I have received PM's from you, so don't bark up THAT tree).

So post or don't post. Who cares!

I don't have anything against EvenBob at all. Sometimes, I enjoy his participation, sometimes not so much. I have appreciated some advice and thoughts that he has shared via PM, but I am not going to engage in discussion via PM shadowing site discussions just because he has some drama thing going on. And I think it is very odd to have some other member post what Bob is feeling or wants to know, as this thread began. It's third party discussions that are shades of 3rd grade. "Tommy wants to know if you like him". Lol.

If he wants to participate he should participate.

Indeed =)

Things are different over there. I did check the rules as I'm much more colorful and not as "business like" when talking about my own activities, and the most recent updates here haven't been implemented there. There is also little to no "management" to speak of, completely the result of having no drama.

Strict rules, different rules, or no rules at all, DT still wouldn't be a problem. Everyone over there still talks about the same off topic things as they do here, but it never gets "third grade". And the big posters over there are the same opinionated, talkative, tell-it-like-it-is people they are here, and still, no problems. A difference of opinion is recognized as just that, and then we move on.

It's odd. Even right now there's a conversation about cultural differences and stereotypes. It's evolving into a history lesson and possible reasons of why it came to be. We've had similar conversations here. Took all of two posts until it turned into 5 pages of racism.

Weird.

So EB is on another site with a higher quality of posters. Good for him.

No wonder he isnt anxious to come back and rub elbows with the racists in the police state

Like I said.....cheering that EB is on a site that "no one reads"......but has higher quality non racist conversations......is a good thing. Its not a negative

And if you dont want PMs by him or anyone else, all it takes its a comment in the return PM....I am sure he/they would honor your request. Then you wouldnt need to come here and declare you are turning off your pms in a "look at me look at me" fashion.

And when I use EB in a sentence...it goes for anyone. Its not about EB. Its about anyone who leaves this site. If the reasons to leave outweight the reasons to stay, then whoever decides to leave its fine....its ridiculous to implant your values onto them...its really possible for someone to leave and enjoy where they go and not get withdrawl symptoms.Its just a friggin board. It is not prestigious to post here, there is no shame to be banned....its just a board policed by people ...one of whom goes on "banning sprees" when he is in a "bad mood".

The first quoted statement is seriously flirting with trolling.

To the second paragraph, perhaps people aren't leaving the site necessarily because of the Rules themselves or the enforcement thereof, but rather the pedantic and puerile complaining that has accompanied the recent changes.

The point is that the whole matter is come and gone with exception to a few people clinging to a point that was never especially important, and only borderline valid. At the end of the day, this is Wizard's Forum and we simply operate in the way that we feel best benefits the Forum with loose guidance from Wizard.

Four Suspensions have occurred this month, and from what I can tell, they've all been for personal insult...are not controversial...and would have occurred even under the old Rules. I know this is essentially about Beethoven, and that's fine, but Beethoven will have the chance to speak for Beethoven in a few days, and if he does, I will personally address his concerns.

Perhaps you can explain why Bob can't just post NORMALLY? Is he afraid he will get suspended? Can't Try posting without trying to skirt the line? Problem solved?


Quote: LarryS

First you seem to lie about a major issue

So this IS a major issue for you and or Bob somehow? It was not a blatant intentional lie and you know it. Bob took the time to PM buzz to find out if it was "SAFE" to come back. the tittle IS Bob WANTS to know(this could be a bit confusing to people).Are you claiming he did all that because he DIDN'T WANT to come back? (Your calling Israel analogy is ridicules and weak)

Quote: LarryS

Well the world doesnt live by your tastes and values. Who cares what YOU would do in certain situations....the world doesnt use you as some sort of standard.

WOW! kind of dramatic Don't you think? We are talking about if a guy who wants to post on this site or not. I was only pointing out that Bob may be a bit more forum dependent then most normal people, way more then what you think. A non forum dependent person would not Make new aliases, or latch onto to a different sites, PM people repeatedly with questions and views concerning this site.

Quote: LarryS

and now you back off on that.....when its pointed out that the wizard himself reads and posts there

If you think you were the one informed me that the Wizard posts at DT. Or I would have changed what I said because of that? You are sadly mistaken. I was well aware he has made posts, he himself has talked about Posting on there including particular rules its obvious since it's his site. "NO ONE" always meant very few people. Especially people I believe Bob likes to engage conversations with, Posters like Mission. Many good quality posters from here don't read DT.. My point was not to discredit DT or the people who post there. Nor did I claim is was some type of losers lounge. You are just trying to make sound like that.

Just because Bob tells you something, DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE and It's all hearsay. It's not possible, unless you are him, to know how he is feeling inside or if he is jonesing to come back and post or not. I seriously doubt he would tell you, if it were true. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE 14999 thing Tell me that's not for drama or some game.
Perhaps the Wizard put to much pressure on him for his 15000 post.

All the evidence seems to point to the fact he does WANT/NEED to come back and start posting again. Logging on each day, reading threads, Sending multiple people PM's. >>>Kewlj: I, myself have received 7 PM's from Evenbob, during this hiatus, expressing his thoughts on different topics and threads. <<<< This sounds very burring inside, craving like, to me. Forums seem to be a substantial major part of his life.

And hopefully they can leave without people joking about betting on their possible death, or instilling their personal values onto them like you.

I didn't bet on this death, I didn't say much about that, I thought it was over the line if he truly was sick like you claimed. Apparently even you didn't know he was at the ever so elite DT posting up daily. You keep saying I'm instilling my personal values WTF does me thinking Bob is bursting to post, have anything to do with personal values?

Are you claiming Bob highly values posting on forums (which is it, Bob values posting here or not?) And just because I don't find as much value in that as he does and I say someone is craving to post. I am automatically pushing my values on them? GET REAL. I would be shocked if I couldn't find tons of Bobs and your posts pushing Values on people. Bob biggest rant is all about pushing his views of the evil casinos on people.

Not feeling like getting suspended here and I have stayed out of this, but I would like to know who you think are racists here. As far as I know race has never come up here and while there may be a diverse crowd here, most don't post about it and I really don't care about it.

Far too many good people on here to have to deal with nonsense like you and Bob seem to enjoy.

So if you are going to make claims like this, put the facts up here or just act like Bob and take the Wizards advise and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Larry obviously feels strongly about this issue. I think he should leave the site in protest. That'll show us!
