William who's next on your list?

The attack on stox was completely unjustified, particularly in a gambling world. Insurance is a wager, whether unjustified or not. Your attack on stoxpoker is the SAME attitude that all the lawmakers have against gambling in general; that it takes advantage of people's inability to control themselves etc. Any person should be able to make the rational decision as to whether they choose to accept or deny the wager.

Your outburst towards stoxpoker is similar to medieval attitudes towards Jews, where many people called them usurious scum. I would think we'd be above all that; particularly for something as benign as an offer of insurance. If a hurricane was headed to Florida, and Stox offered insurance to people in Alabama, where it was predicted there was only a 2% chance of the hurricane hitting, would you then have a similar outburst? Anyone who thinks their money is 100% safe in Neteller right now has been hitting the crackipipe too hard. It's obviously very likely to be safe, but there is always a chance, and many people WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY to save their rolls without worrying about it. That's not usury, it's life.

Also, shame on the mods who locked his thread. He's well respected enough and well established enough that if he's generous enough to offer that service to the thousands of nailbiting 2+2ers out there he should be applauded. I would assume we are all smart enough to negotiate a fair price, and don't need the government (mods) to protect us.
