Default Re: Fossilman\'s Account Hacked?

I respect Daniel as well as Greg. Greg has always taken the time to educate me when I ask him about hands etc.

I don't know much about the lawsuit. Meaning I don't know how it could affect players either way.

The one thing that I think Daniel should have done is gone to the 7 players and asked them about it before going public. I also think the 7 should have gone to the poker community and told them of their intentions. (I don't know that they didn't but DN says he wasn't contacted so I'll assume many more weren't)

Having said all that if the outcome of this lawsuit has a possible severe effect on all poker players then DN certainly has the right to be as vocal about his opinions as anyone else.

I don't think the fact that DN hasn't been to law school should exclude him from being able to voice his opinion. Anyone who cares about poker and this lawsuit should do their own investigating on all parties background to see if the person saying something has the knowledge to comment.

I also think it was pretty cool of Greg to admit he probably shouldn't have made some of the statements that he said.

Both guys are classy IMHO but I think they both could have handled themselves a little differently.
