American Government vs. Lp.net

What I've found (on TL.net where I started out, and here) is that people come down on you hard when you post things people find inappropriate (bad beat threads) because 1) they want you to understand that its not accepted because these forums are about quality and 2) to make an example to scare newer posters away from posting random crap. This way it is easier for mods to ensure the quality of posts here. If newcomers are scared shitless to post, when they finally do post it probably will be quality. Try not to take everyone's comments extremely personally because in general they are just trying to keep these forums quality.

you are right. i mean this is the best forum, but sometimes they need to just say "hey man you can't post those types of hands here." instead, it's always 2-3 mods telling you "it's shit" and "you should be banned". tell me that's not like going to prison for a parking ticket. just don't criticize America's dumbass government, when you have so very much in common. i'll go back into my lurking cave for a while until i have some groundbreaking idea that hasn't been posted here in lp.net's entire history.

LOL HYPOCRYMENTS. WORTH IT. 10K FIGHT YO?

lol

ZMOG LOL HOVZ LAWL...

But seriously jkpickett which hand in the hand discussion forum are you talking about where you got reamed? I searched and all the hands of yours I found people gave serious straightforward unoffensive advice

exactly...it was taken down!

Now you sound like the American Govt, talking about evidence that justifies your actions that somehow 'can't be found'.

well i am not in control of that. i can't go find a post that was deleted. it was titled "Thought I Made A Great Read" and it was a suckout. go ask a mod if you want to play sherlock holmes

I saw it, 555 vs 666 runner 4 to a flush

right that was the hand, but that's not even the point. i admit it was a frustration post and wasn't needed, but i don't think banning me or berating me several times is necessary. was simply making a point of something i noticed

Jesus christ

there he is

wasn't really you though that proposed a ban.

i saw the thread too. it's just a badbeat and nothing to discuss

this is stupid

post those hands in ur little blog cuz noone wants to see it in discussion

are you retarded? this wasn't about posting my hand and getting advice. WOW, learn to read

AGAIN, I know i posted the hand in the wrong spot, but getting a legion of people to tell me I should be banned I was simply drawing a comparison to another hated group in the Feds. You up to speed yet YANG????

yeh i agree sometimes people on here go over the top when its not needed as often they are hypocrits themselves. private msging you why you should not post it and then taking it down would be a much more matrue way of dealing with it than berating you in the hand chat

ppl scold u and criticize this shit coz they KNOW their stuff. u shouldnt be complaining. gulp it up and try to improve

oh, bad beats, my bad
u shoudlnt post them there because theres nothing to discuss about them.

see there's a catch 22...i try to improve by posting, but can't post without getting shut down. that is the only bad beat hand i've posted and no matter the content some wise ass 19 year old kid has some stale sarcastic remark. i know for a fact though they would be so bold in person

Don't post bad beats in hand discussion and try to get sympathy. If you are still getting insulted and are posting actual hands, prove it.

what would sympathy get me? why would i want sympathy from a bunch of dudes? your logic is great!!!

people post bad beats all the time, but i happened to post it in hand discussion instead of the hands section. that was my crime and i'm really curious what i can give back to anyone who happened to waste their precious time. I WANT TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I'm on knees groveling for forgiveness.

Delete this blog post and don't do it again.

edit: Just ban me from your blog instead, that'll do

why would i be a hypocrit also. feel free to say what you want. i'm a libertarian. FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

plz just check/fold life

poker metaphors. LOL. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Lame ass loser YANG! Enjoy your wonton soup and don't read my blog if you don't like what I say (or if you can't read in the first place). Tell your brother Ying I said, "what's up". I'm out.

lol?

lol, exaggerating? =(

ppl might be harsh but thats because stupid mistakes like that are made many times everyday. You are not expected to read a 1000 old post, but what you CAN do is to read fucking posting guidelines.

Its not that big of a deal but if it happens a few times a day ppl might get tired of it and be a lil harsh. You're acting like a crybaby.

you're right pinball. just venting. and it wasn't you so much as some other asshole saying that was ban-worthy. it just got me thinking. but now i'm over it. amazing what a good session will do to your overall attitude

nm misinterpreted I hope no one read
