You're a Bunch of Factors

geez i'm flattered to be quite frank.

If you dont get sarcasm then there is no point in explaining why i found that post funny or anyone else for that matter. Full stop.

Mean spirited, hardly.

Ok. Ok. You want me to genuinly reply to that thread to make it easier for you to understand. Here it is...

"How NPL has helped me, is that before NPL came along, or any other league for that matter, i hardly was interested in poker. Now i'm hooked, just like every other NPL player i'm sure.
I have made some good poker friends, had a laugh and enjoy most people's company. Its a good chance to catch up with my close friends too, and some family members for that matter.
NPL provide a good, professional service that keeps me out of trouble and provides some entertainment, when i've got nothing else to do, and unfortunately sometimes when i do have things to do.
All in all, NPL is great for poker and the venues, and i'm sure the casino is happy too, as it attracts more people to play for cash"

There thats my opinion.

But if you cant see the sarcasic side to that, or the cornyness of it, then there is no point trying to explain, so you can attempt to find it funny.

Hopefully this has cleared your misconception of me and my initial post, and excuse me for trying to find the funny side of an all praising, all glorifying thread. I'll perhaps keep my sarcastic threads to myself and perhaps tempt you with some knock, knock jokes that i'm sure you'll find hilarious.

Thanks JJ.

Seems everyone else is wrong when they don't agree with you Dug, yet you're never wrong?

what? its not a case of right or wrong.

I'm not right or wrong, like i said if you dont get sarcasm then bad luck.

Thats a cr ap comment.

Got nothing to do with nothing.

Dug - maybe the news articles of babies that have died in cars whilst their parents are gambling present your original post in bad taste.

Can hardly have a go at someone for thinking that.

hahahaha as if NevahJJ actually put the time and effort to make this topic

talk about taking things too serious, its a public forum and you can post anything u like, in bad taste or not, as if someone wanted him banned from the site

That someone would be me.

Its a public forum, yes, but that doesn't give everyone the right to post "whatever they want." Free speech and all, everyone is free to post, but there should be limits to what can and cannot be posted.

I myself considered posting something akin to Dug's post the other day (although not in the same vein) after reading all the topics and posts about State Finals. Most of the posts were of a congratulatory manner, from NPL staff, on their great work at State Finals (which was great). But then, a few days after State Finals were over... it got a bit much. Ok guys, we get it, you did a great job...

In the end I didn't post anything because it would've been in bad taste - and I've done confrontation on the forums before I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I could see his point. But there are easier ways to go about it.

And as a former forum Administrator, I can tell you that getting banned from a forum happens every day - don't think the admins/mods don't have any right, or "aren't allowed to because its a public forum." We don't control the site, they do. We're here under their rules.

Edit: On further thought, I should probably add this - because while I know what I was saying, reading this, no one else well (cheers for that Bob) - unless I add it now.

I didn't want Dug banned. I was just wondering out loud if it could be done. Personally, I think he should've been issued a warning for his post, and if he offends again, he should be banned.

Anyway.

Who's looking forward to Berri?

If situations warrant it Aaron, as you know from your own experiences on other forums, they are dealt with in a private manner. To be honest, I found nothing funny in the original post - sarcasm only works when it's carried out correctly.

There really was no need for this thread either - if you have an issue with a particular forum member, take it to the PM's; whether addressing them directly or contacting one of the moderators. No need to run a topic in the public section.

Berri? cannot ****ing wait
