The final word on Vig: the truth

[Curse]

I don't know much about the legal system but I would think the anonamous source would have to come out, would they be willing to do so?

[1C5]

well his replies were so suspect that this doesn't surprise me at all.

loser.

[Tien]

VIGAMENTS!!!!

On a more serious note. I wonder how many other degenerates out there are ruining the lives of their families because of poker.

how is he not banned?

what is the point of him posting again?

he will post a new story, who knows what % of it will be truth?

will anyone ever believe a word of what he says ever again?

[daryn]

i'm not sure it's 2+2 policy to ban scammers.

[drexah]

the fact this guy doesn't just come out and apologize/explain what was true (if anything) about what he told us is just sickening. i mean i can see why he wouldn't, but it's the least thing he could do. admit he's a degenerate piece of [censored] who gambled with money that people gave him for his dying wife (or is it GF?) if he even has a wife/gf or for that matter even a kid. what a piece of [censored]. did he ever post pics of himself ever, or was that just his supposed baby momma/kid?

[Gildwulf]

what does banning him accomplish?

I guess the possibilities of him comming out telling the truth, apologizing, which I doubt many will accept unless he accually tries to repay the people who helped him, they have to give him that chance.

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.

The thing that is truly saddening is that now BBV will no longer be a reliable place for people to come and collect money for their relatives/loved ones in need....

/end facetious observation..

greenstein-style donation efforts are always going to be welcomed

[/ QUOTE ]

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?

[/ QUOTE ]

yes

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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?

[/ QUOTE ]

you are being way too hard on GW here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, I get it...not meaning to be hard on Gild, my original comments were more meant to highlight the overall absurdity of using a forum on an internet message board (one dedicated to the least rational aspects of poker, no less) as a vessel for charitable donations.

I think it's great the thing that y'all did with Barry and the Doncuments, but it's a bad precedent to set when this board gets used as a publicity vehicle for people's individual charity needs, no matter how valid or painful they are. Really, it's much worse that allowing staking requests on this forum (which I believe are prohibited). Anyway, didn't mean to harsh on GW, and I think it's probably a good thing for BBV in the long run that this whole operation went down in flames. F Vigorish.
