Default Re: Open letter to Censored

I will address a few things:

1. I don't feel like I have special status as Ed's wife. If you disagree, please post examples to prove me otherwise.

2. I do, however, feel that I have slightly special knowledge about the inner-workings of TwoPlusTwo and these forums. I believe that TwoPlusTwo will continue to grow and there will come a time that a decision must be made about what kind of forum exists here - is it poker strategy or is it other topics? Right now, OOT is "tolerated" because it is profitable. But as soon as it becomes unprofitable or risky, I believe OOT will die. That's just my personal opinion and feel free to disagree, but I just don't see Mason Malmuth as Larry Flint, ready to go into expensive legal battle to protect your so-called freedoms. My prediction is that someone will slap a large law suit against 2+2 and, even if the suit doesn't have merit, , it will cost money to defend and so OOT will change dramatically in order to protect what the heads of 2+2 care about: poker strategy and profit.

3. Yes, Evan, I was asked to be a mod. It was early on when I posted as Otis. That's when Mat started the whole mod thing. I was one of the instigators who brought about moderators. I turned down the offer because it didn't pay any money and I felt it would be a lot of work and because he said I'd have to conceal my identity since I am so disliked.

4. I know a flush beats a straight. I don't play a lot of poker, but I helped edit Getting Started and I understand the basics. I play very little and I don't like to play live. I also don't like to discuss illegal activity.
