Re: News Flash: Elaine gives Ed\'s new book 5 stars
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I truely feel sorry for Ed.... his wife is apparently insane but I get the feeling that while she obviously goes overboard that a lot of what she says is based on truth. [/ QUOTE ] No on the truth part. Let me give one example. The author team on Professional No-Limit Hold 'em makes approximately 50 percent more than I do. If instead of an author team, there would have been only one author, he would have made 50 percent more than I do. We pay very high royalties for a book publishing company. In fact, some of the rates we pay are virtually unheard of in the book business, and in general, our authors make approximately five times as much by doing the book for us than they would from most other publishers, and this includes our major competition. When you read the link, you get a much different impression. And finally, because the review in question is causing so much controversy, I have sent a note to Amazon.com on behalf of Two Plus Two Publishing LLC explaining that the review is written by one of the author's wives, and requesting that it be removed. Best wishes, Mason [/ QUOTE ] Blah blah blah ... I don't like Elaine any more than I like you, Mason, but what she says is true. You've allowed the 2p2 forums to turn into one of the hottest spots on the inet for sickness, animals (dogs, horses) f'ing people, scatology, snuff flics, etc., the sickest stuff in the universe. Not to mention Sklansky's absurd attention-whoring antics. And guess what, that's why a lot of people log in to the forums. And yet you keep on pretending that what you're all about is an erudite distinguished highly respectable publisher of well-thought-out well-reviewed thinking-man's poker publications. Give the world a break. You shamelessly capitalized on all the sickos temporarily attracted to poker to gain publicity. It's really pathetic ... you, I mean. You really are pathetic. You never take a stand one way or the other. Don't you understand that all this sick stuff can and does lead to real world consequences ? You're a freak.

And yes udevil, she does seem like a very nice lady. Stable too. [/ QUOTE ] If I judge you by your standards, what should I think of you? Edit: Apparently I was wrong about the drama potential of this thread. Carry on.

You're like a modern-day Jonathan Swift, nay, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, such is the rapier-like sharpness of your pathetic fanboy weaksauce nut-hugging. That's real edgy stuff you posted over there. What a disgrace.

Re: News Flash: Elaine gives Ed\'s new book 5 stars
I feel sorry for Ed, he is such a great guy and a good poker teacher. Now he has to deal with an amateur whiner, professional hippy, feminist, and fat vegan who graduated beauty school but dropped out of law school who writes about her poker player husband and various emo [censored].
Let's stop feeding the troll.

The painfully obvious conflict of interest at work here? I think I have stated my opinion quite clearly, while you, with your comments, have endorsed this unethical practice. I wil cut and paste your lame comments from Elaine's blog before you can edit them. Weaksauce.

"I supported your reviews, if I ever write a book, my wife will be the first reviewer followed by my Mom and any one else I get get to say something positive, that is just smart marketing IMHO." Wow, what a man of principle.
