Message: [QUOTE="NoWuckingFurries, post: 715889, member: 31297"] I like this sentence, where it refers to your view and my interpretation, it implies equality, it accepts that you don't know everything and that we are both potentially able to learn from each other Although the punctuation is a bit suspect in this sentence there is a much more serious weakness it, in that it implies that you have fallen into the very trap that your tutor was apparently warning you about. Assuming that your sentence means that you and the people that have contacted you about the statement understood it properly, and I didn't. The fact that I am the only person to air that viewpoint does not mean that I am wrong and you are right, only that we have taken different things from it. It's reasonably clear to me that people who think they know better than everybody else will often assume that a lot of other players are donkeys, when in fact if they had played the hand differently (by being more aggressive, for example) that person might not have been in a position to steal the pot on the river, for example. Therefore sometimes it is [B]their[/B] play that can be the cause of the problem, and not always other people being donkeys, as they have assumedThere is indeed a subtext to that, but it still doesn't necessarily need to be implied that it is me [B]attacking[/B] you, although I could arguably be gently poking fun at you. I have noticed in more than one of your threads that you quite often use the word "blog" in a situation where I would use the word "post". What I am implying by including that phrase twice is that:[LIST=1] [*]I have noticed you using the word "blog" in a context that I would not use it (in the same way that I have noticed Munchrs spelling similarities as simularities more than once) [*]If you want to use it in that context you are free to do so, but [*]I will continue using what I consider to be a less ambiguous word, namely "post" [*]Although I wouldn't personally use it in that context I am interested to see whether it provokes any comment from other forum users, if somebody else found your use of the word "blog" in that context strange or amusing they would often react to me highlighting it twice in this manner. I'm not arrogant enough to assume that I know better than you, language is constantly evolving, internet phraseology evolves even more rapidly than spoken language does, and "blog" may well be starting to replace the word "post" as a description of what someone writes in a thread in a forum[/LIST]I think of a blog as being an online diary, but I could be wrong - I often am! :DPeople will quite often see what they want to see. I am a strong believer that donkeys should not be abused via chat, because the profitability of online poker is largely based on so many donkeys playing online poker, and I don't want to discourage them from playing in a manner which makes it easier for me to take their money from themVarious of your points [B]could[/B] potentially be seen as supporting that premise, so it's not really "plain silly" to suggest it :) [SIZE=1]Apologies for such a long post :D[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
