Official Blather about ZeeJustin Till The End of Time Thread

[Indiana]

For what its worth, I don't know Zee, and have never met him. Further, he's been a complete jerk to me in the responses he's made to my posts over time. Just less than a month ago he called me "delusional" for critisizing his AIM chat with Strassa during games. Having said all of that, I think that the punishments that Party and this forum are throwing at him are way too harsh. Yes he's a cocky young guy whose made a mistake, but I don't believe that we should allow all of his hard work in this game go down the toilet because of his violation. He has screwed up, but I believe that he deserves a second chance. Any of the guys on this forum could be misunderstood for their poker dealings in the future and would appreciate the same second chance if the situation arose. The only way that Zee gets a second chance is if the poker community decides to police itself, come up with a fair punishment, and mass email party and stars about our decisions. Taking 100K off this kid isn't right. Perhaps they ban all accounts except for the main one and strip him of a few things, but completely ruining him is too harsh. He's young and dumb, and we all know how stupid we were at that age. Its by the grace of God alone that most of us are even breathing.

Mercy is needed,

Indy
