Money talks so being a douchebag (regardless of how big) doesn't matter. Cheating should be allowed.

That's about what I made of it.

Johnny, for the first time I've got to disagree with you a little. You seem to be touting Poker as this noble game because of the diversity of all the players.

For sure there is no discrimination at the Poker tables, anybody can play but the real reason is that everybodies money is green and we want a shot at it. Not some higher ideal that we don't think it's right to discriminate.

Remember Jerusalem Slim? He said stuff about not judging others. We didn't throw the first rock in the old days.

ZeeJustin and Matusow and others did something or other which I never looked down on for a nanosecond. If you are going to be an uptight, Assistant Jr. High School Principal, Youth Director of the Baptist church kind of a guy, maybe you should play jacks or hopscotch because you aren't going to be too comfortable in the world of poker.

The flipside to that snorefest of a post is that if you don't have thick enough skin to tolerate banter about your past transgressions, you probably should go "play jacks or hopscotch because you aren't going to be too comfortable in the world of poker."

...It's 1959...a 22 year old, gay, black man from New York City, NY (the town so nice they had to name it twice,) and his Puerto Rican boyfriend walk hand-in-hand into a bar/cafe near the stockyards in Amarillo, TX...goes up to the bartender & inquires about getting in the poker game in back...what are the odds they "run off the fruit"????
