Yeah but people like Jim and Oblivian (see how I will at least name people instead of doing this vague bullshit?) have consistently complained recently. I see it happening too much and a lot of times over the dumbest shit like ANY talk not fight related, but thats a different discussion I guess.
Either way, people have different ideas of manners. And there sure as fuck isn't manners in talking shit and not even having the balls to name names. Guys like Brick Top are valuable bettors, even if you don't like every single thing they post. So be a man, and take it up with them personally if you truly believe its hindering your experience here.
Again, I wasn't referencing anyone in particular so it would be impossible for me to PM them. Trust me, I'm not afraid of or above calling cats out. I didn't even see what Brick Top said. But believe me, there's no fear in naming names. I should have been more clear and not said select few as it wraps overly broad.
Again, I was only agreeing with JG that a couple people seemed to be cluttering the thread with nonsense. I'll be honest and admit that I didn't even check names. I scroll through superfluous nonsense.
I'm weighing down the thread and doing what I bemoaned.
Again. Let's just help each other make money.
That's the last I'll comment on it ITT… If you want to PM me over anything feel free
@NewcastleTom ... regarding having six figures and bookmark her. I've had over 30 K in that account and around $10,000-$20,000 spanning the course of five years and I've never had a problem with a pay out or anything. I can't say a enough good things about their payout system to be honest. Does it concern me that I have six figures in a overseas book in a possible brick-and-mortar building in Costa Rica that I haven't an address too? That recourse to get my money from them if they were to take it? Yeah it is a bit disconcerting LOL but they have an A+ rating with all sports books who do reviews so that is all I can hope for is that they continue to do good and honest work.
My take for what it's worth on "manners" and all that in here:
There's limits. I think Joe B is right in that different people view "manners" differently. For example, I'm old as fuck (turn 40 this month) so some of stuff the younger guys here post seems to be close to the edge to me. That said, it's a freaking forum for MMA betting so I don't expect the same level of politeness that I make damn sure my 7 year old daughter practices. Certain guys are gonna be more edgy. Robbie (Brick Top) got the ban hammer in his first go here. He was taking stuff too far. I told him (not that he listened to me necessarily, but I did post it multiple times) to just chill a LITTLE in his delivery. Everyone has to have the freedom to be who they are, just gotta hit that baseline minimum in terms of being cordial. I think Robbie has dialed it back a bit but still posts good insight and some seriously hilarious shit sometimes.
To me the biggest thing is just don't let it get personal. BT is right, we're all here trying to help each other crush the books. We're gonna have disagreements, like for example Joe B foolishly thinking Sage is a good bet as a favorite over Gall (Love ya Joe B, you still my boy). But even if you think what the other guy is saying is the dumbest motherfucking thing you've ever heard, no need to be a total asshat in responding. Because I've found out that A) that never accomplishes shit other than pissing the other guy off and B) Every now and then that dumb shit the other guy posted is RIGHT and I'm WRONG. And then I'm 2x the asshole for responding like a shithead.
Fighter bashing...yeah. Shouldn't happen. I get it. Honestly, the funniest thing I have read here in forever was Robbie after Roy lost to Black Beast saying "Roy Nelson...Fuck off. Enjoy diabetes." Now, that's a total dick thing to say. Said directly after a fight that Robbie los $ on. But I literally laughed for an hour after that. So with that stuff...I guess...if it's really funny I'd want EZ to let it slide. If it's not, start dropping dubs. Not for me to say, that's just my totally warped view on it.
Sorry this was long, rambling, and probably mostly worthless. But I'm already on cocktail #3, it's snowing like mad outside, and I'm ready to smash the books baby!
no need to defend yourself man. You're here so rarely now, at least posting anyway lol, that none of that was meant for you. Just gets old seeing the same complaints. No one who is here semi regularly seems like a piece of shit, so if some people really feel like certain posts or posters hinder there experience it's time to try alternate means of communicating that
Just saw the end where you told me PM you, but too lazy to copy and paste this there so yeah
