I have never placed a poster on ignore before, but OB is about to be the first.

Where have we who have actually worked to further the poker cause, unlike you, ever said amongst ourselves - "oh no, dont say anything about freedoms, or taxes or privacy, lets only talk about skill"? You sir, have no clue.

If you think pointing out THE FACT that you are/were a 3-post newcomer is a personal attack, you sir, have no clue. You so obviously have no knowledge of what has been happening here, and no willingness to learn, that what you say we believe is also worthless.

I have no problem with online gambling so long as it fits MY definition? Anyone who is familiar with my posts knows full well that has NEVER been my position.

But why should facts interfere with precisely what it is now obvious you are here to do - get us poker players to piggyback your sportsbetting or slots/casino games play onto our success.

No poker player posting here has ever argued for other forms of gaming/gambling to be illegal. No bill supported by the PPA or the regular posters here says other forms of gambling SHOULD be illegal.

All we have done is recognize the political reality that it is far easier to convince the average person and their legislators that online poker should be legal than it is to convince them that EVERY form of online gambling should be legal. That you refuse to accept that obvious fact shows your true colors and renders even your "opinions" worthless.

That you decry dissension among the people actually doing the work to establish expressly legal poker and yet seek to create it in every post is further evidence of what you really are.

And finally, that you have absolutely no clue as to the actual current legal status of online poker (as shown by your complete faith in DOJ opinons) means you really have nothing meaningful to add to this discussion.
