I was just trying to get the FAT guy paid! I think he will get his 2 hundo now. I think interest should be added for the hassle though. 2 fiddy sounds about right. Can I get a second on that?

Lol that is not necessary. THanks for the fat comment. kyleb is aware that I am not balla and that this represents like 1/8th of my bankroll so whatever. I will escrow everything in the future.

The escrow comment was aimed at me I think, bruddha.

I think you were correct to post when you wanted to and Kyles response to you was horrible so I told my story.

I'm glad you will be paid now, chubby. jopke.

I heard a rumor there were fat people in this thread. Confirm?

I'm amused at the various "demod kyle" chatter in this thread. "The internet is serious business" is an overused meme, particularly at a forum where it so clearly is serious business for many people, but I don't see why one expects or needs to hold moderators to a higher standard than other posters with regards to personal conduct. I don't see what that has to do with their job, which is largely removing content that 2+2 finds objectionable. In any cases where they've been involved in financial transactions with other 2+2 community members it certainly hasn't been with the imprimatur of 2+2.

As for the factualness of the rest, while it's certainly douchy of Bob to bring up his deal with kyle, I find his story pretty damn plausible, and suspect the truth is probably fairly close to what he claims.

Are you kyleb's [censored] buddy or something?

1) Mod's at 2p2 are for the most part assumed to be well known and trusted(not saying this is smart/a good idea, but its certainly the case). What's to stop him from making some giganto prop bet for upwards of 2-3k, and not paying if he loses? Free EV here, or what's to stop him from doing a FTP/Stars transfer and just keeping 5-10K?

2) Why do you think its douchy of him to bring this story up? In his opinion, and it seems semi justified, he got [censored] by kyleb in this deal. Is he not allowed to warn people who might in the future do business with him?

Seriously, pull your head out of your ass.


Also, FWIW I know nothing about kyleb and had no opinion of him prior to this thread.

This is true of pretty much any account with 2500+ posts. Once you've posted that much, should there be a series of ethical tests and quizzes (each more ornate than the last) that one must pass in order to continue posting? In any case, it's not 2+2's responsibility to provide any kind of guarantee of honorable behavior in transactions among various members of the community, and setting themselves up to even appear as such seems like a bad idea to me.
