Message: [QUOTE="Crystal Blue, post: 1007210, member: 46561"] TBH, Daniel's comments about Clonie were way to harsh as far as I am concerned. He should of had the decency to speak to her personally before sounding off the way he did. I'm sure he wouldn't of had any trouble acquiring her phone number if he didn't already have it. Something that happened in 2006 came into my mind when I was reading his comments about Clonie last month. Back in 2006 Daniel got into a public spat with Greg Raymer via two poker forums about the then "7" pro poker players who were involved in an image rights battle with the WPT set up. Some cross words were exchanged between the two of them with Daniel basically saying that Raymer and the other six pro players were wrong to pursue their claims against the WPT. Things got somewhat heated and to dispel the flames Greg posted an apology to Daniel with regards to certain words that were said. Daniel excepted Greg's apology and at the same time apologised to Greg for any offence that may of been caused. Daniel went on to say that he still felt the "7" pro players were wrong to be doing what they were doing and argued that Greg's comment about "fighting for the future rights of ALL pro players" was not an accurate thing to say. Daniel said that he himself personally never asked anyone to fight for his future rights for the betterment of pro poker players and that Greg and the other six were wrong to assume that other players wanted them to. What struck me about that 2006 comment from Daniel and his comments about Clonie last month is that he has no commercial ties with Full Tilt Poker and is in fact working with their main rival Pokerstars. With this being the case, why did he feel the need to be a self appointed spokesperson about Full Tilt affairs. I can only come to one conclusion as to why he made those comments about Clonie, and that would be that he was asked to do so by one or more of his well documented close friends at Full Tilt Poker. The reason why I didn't include the second conclusion that he was just fighting the corner of his good friends there is simple enough. If that were the case he would of been doing exactly the same thing he accused Greg Raymer and the other six pro players of doing, fighting the fight without being asked to do so, therefor contradicting himself with regards to his 2006 comment. I am certainly not saying this is actually the case here but I am saying, that's the way it comes across from where I am sitting. [/QUOTE]
