I apologize to those involved in what was a huge error in judgment on my part. I took a chance in allowing Vig to post his story based on the proof his wife had cancer and it turns out I was wrong to do so.

You mean mass-movements to donate small amounts of money to well-established charities constitutes a positive idea whereas directing funds towards random participants on anonymous gambling-related internet message boards who are claiming that their significant others have cancer is just retarded and outrageous?

yes

did you miss the part where I admitted I made a mistake or are you just an ass?

Just an ass. I think it's worth harping on the foolishness of your mistake, since it cost normal, unsuspecting 2+2ers money. I don't really care about forum politics, and I don't have any opinion on you aside from this, but it's not like apologizing gets you off the hook instantly. How much money was "donated" anyway?

yeah gild its def not your fault if you hadn't aloud it people would view you as heartless. Also in the beginning im sure the intent was there even by vig I guess something overcame him. If this was his plan the whole time then he is a sick sick man.

You know I am so [censored] pissed right now I can hardly see straight. I PM Vig at the time and told him I only had $67, but he could have half of it, trust me its not about the money, all of you gave more than me and that in that aspect I have nothing to bitch about, but this low-life dirty [censored] scumbag should die of stomach cancer. How sick do you have to be to take donated money from your cancer stricken gf and gamble it away. Did you really think you were going to win with that money? you [censored] loser. Ban me if you must for wishing death on someone, but I am so pissed its beyond comprehension. Gild, this is not in anyway your fault.

Actually, all the facts we were told are still assumed to be correct.

The one thing Gildwulf didn't tell us is that the guy wasn't going to pay for cancer treatments for his girlfriend with the money, but was instead going to urinate it across the internet at huge stakes poker games.

Gildwulf has apologised several times for this. He made a judgement call and got it wrong, it happens.
