Re: News Flash: Elaine gives Ed\'s new book 5 stars
[ QUOTE ]
She also forgets to mention her relationship... [/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure Elaine wrote this but after the review we have this: "Disclosures: The reviewer is a family member of one of the authors. The reviewer is an Amazon affiliate. The reviewer has a really cute dog." I just don't think her review is all that big a deal, especially given that she made it clear in the main text that she was quoting other peoples opinions. ~ Rick PS I've only had the book for a few days and have already read it. It is a great book, miles above what anyone else has written.

[ QUOTE ] One of the guys actually made the claim that the book turned him into a winner overnight, and that after being "impotent" for 7 years he is now measuring his winnings in stacks. L O L, wow this must be some amazing book, that it's able to turn a 7-year losser into a winner overnight. Makes me wonder what the hell this guy been doing for the past 7 years. [/ QUOTE ] this review was written by 2p2er Joe Tall. he was joking. that's why he has a second paragraph that begins, "seriously." [/ QUOTE ] Felson, you are trying to explain something to someone who has a reading comprehension problem about a BOOK. Use your time wisely somewhere else.

Re: News Flash: Elaine gives Ed\'s new book 5 stars
New review: 1 star "The worst.", July 29, 2007
By J. Ramos - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) Based on a rumor of a review found written on a bathroom wall by someone who may or may not have read this book, that's exactly what it is. Disclosure: This reviewer is a vengeful former lover of one of the authors.

Re: News Flash: Elaine gives Ed\'s new book 5 stars
Funny blog of hers. She looks kinda cool, but obviously has some issues. Feminist and vegan, isn't that a contradiction? She wants to be respected as a woman making silly decisions?
Anyways, it doesn't take much to realize that supporting her own case as a reviewer was unentical. If she is lacking even this much of understanding, it's tough to help her. Maybe they should have children so she gets her focus back.

The bottom line is she is a control freak. She wants to control 2+2, but can't She wants to control Mason, but can't (fortunately Mason knows he can't over-control a forum of 10,000 posters without looking like an authoritarian) She wants to control this conversation, and gets to do this a bit by only posting her comments on her own blog, which she can control She wants to control Ed, and seems to be doing so She wants to control book sales, hence the book review and nondisclosure of being a spouse No doubt she wants to control society's view on vegetarianism and feminism, but she won't get far there, and why should we care if she tries?, it has little to do with poker. [ QUOTE ] Maybe they should have children so she gets her focus back. [/ QUOTE ] Uh no, children have it hard enough without having control freaks as parents

[ QUOTE ] But you can't blame a woman for being proud of her husband. [/ QUOTE ] But she really should disclose the relationship when shilling for him if in fact it's true that she's his wife. [/ QUOTE ] I just want to say when I wrote this the other day I had no clue regarding the history of Elaine and 2+2 and my post had nothing to do with some kind of 2+2 vendetta against her.
