This is a little part of the issue also....this personal stuff should not be discussed imo, use the ignore button.

Nah, was planning to start going as soon as I got back from Tralee but am busto and €15 is a bit expensive. Don't fancy becoming an adult just yet by getting a job I'm supposedly "qualified" for so will be handing CVs into all of the bars around town on Monday. It's the only job my CV is quite good for so hopefully will pick up something and I can get some beans coming in. Once I do I'll be into all the home games.

Took me long enough to figure it out when I first saw it popping up on fb.

cheers, 1 o these new fandagled interweb thingys, just noticed it lately

I totally disagree

Why on earth do I have an image of dbc sitting in his room with a blonde wig and pantyhose on typing MSN posts?

Aye I've been in a good few times when home but have decided to take it semi seriously from now on and stop going in whenever I have some spare money so am going to wait a while and get some money together. Definitely have an edge on the random punter in there so want to be able to ride the waves!

What is the Monday these days actually? I remember getting a text a while back saying it had changed and haven't been in since.

Emmet.. I am just a fair person and I didn't like Zod's tone last night or what he wrote this morning. It wouldn't have mattered who he was saying it to, I would still have said.

I just haven't been around all day to read it all properly. It is serious when someone is hurt by the things wrote.

I find this bit very worrying

I think the point is that he wouldn't have had to say it to anyone else.

He was right, he could have been tactful and found a better way to get his point across and he generalised a bit but he was right. Internet forums in general, and at times this thread in particular, are not for the faint at heart. The vast vast bulk of posts in here are either helpful or jokingly taking the piss out of someone.

If you can't take the slagging, or if you get offended and fly off the handle at every perceived slight then your time on the thread isn't going to be pleasant and in turn you'll make it unpleasant for everyone else, like it or not that's the nature of most forums/groups of people in the world.

[Keane]

People getting accused of snobbery or whatever for using a super-standard phrase like QED is going to occasion responses of the "GTFO" type, it's just bound to.

Anyone playing this D-day poker thing on Friday??

The people playing in the larger venues obviously have an edge because they can get a bigger stack together before play stops.

Need at least 12k to make it worth your while travelling to Killarney as well maybe??

I have never been in a forum quite like this tbh. I can take a slagging, but if I knew someone could not then I would make sure I didn't go aggravating the situation my trying to wind them up.

My point is not that Zod should not say something if it is annoying him, but just find that little bit of tact that wont offend. It is simple...

[CHDad]

I get lots of abuse, well got lots of abuse for the way I posted. Mostly deserved tbf, same with MSN. She needs to adjust and think before she posts.

[sligoboi]

Yeah I hit the Tuesday game once towards the end of January and with a good few students I thought it'd be decent enough but same shit different faces. Problem was I semi bluffed and then completely bluffed off 30% of my stack to David's (dealer) mother early doors and folded jj after putting some chips in the pot to be shown 1010 soon after.

Re: pm nah man really appreciate for the offer but having sold %s for online tourneys I find it hinders me from playing my own game so I wouldn't feel right doing it. Will get in a good few times between now and when the students head home though so might see you in there. Cheers again

Edit: Might ship you a pm in a few weeks as I remember you saying you would send on some handy links for tourney play a while back

I find this bit very worrying

Would ya leave me alone, trying to get me hole here!

If my gf of 4 years on Tuesday sees this it's a joke...I swear!

A lot of what you say makes sense, but i dont really get the making it unplesent for everyone else part, if you cant ignore an annoying post and all that, you dont have to hit the reply button.

As for the last point, this aint "most forums"

[Iago]

One could take a contrary viewpoint and say that if the status quo is fine with a tone and culture then it's up to each individual to adapt to it or not as the case may be. Sink or swim if you will.

This forum is like a bunch of mates who have known each other since they were kids, even though some (most) may not have met in real life, or certainly not spent anywhere near as much time together as the banter suggests.

That means not taking each other too seriously and taking every chance to get a dig in. Nobody is trying to hurt or offend anyone else, and it should be taken in the spirit that it's meant.

[Emmet]

To lighten the mood, here are some diagrams I've just made.

1 - Geometric Brownian Motion using the Lévy Construction


2 - A mean reverting Stochastic CIRR Model.


Aren't they lovely?

It's over.

[ArmaniJeans]

I think the point is that he wouldn't have had to say it to anyone else.

I still don't know why he would be 'tilted' by someone getting the wrong end of the stick all the time. Either skim over it and ignore it if you want, or sit back and enjoy it (personally I enjoy it, I always think of Bulldog out of Frasier when I see an MSN tirade. Wheres my sandwich, goddam thieving slobs I'll rip all your heads off and spit down, oh there it is.
And Michelle, thats a compliment by the way.

We all know MSN is a sensitive person who takes things the wrong way regular. She shouldn't have to leave or not join in because of her nature.

I do not agree that we should either sink or swim. All we need to do is adapt what we post to certain people if we know it is going to cause an upset. Sometimes I think some people go out looking to wind Michelle up. I know I will make jokey comments at/to her. But I do not do it in a way that she will find offensive.

As for the last point, this aint "most forums"

All of what I say makes sense, all of the time, and don't you forget it

If say 10% of the posts on the thread forever more where just posters going back and forth with accusations/explanations of why it wasn't an attack/non-acceptance of the explanation/someone telling someone else to cop on etc then it would be very unpleasant for the rest of the readers.

You can put a user on ignore, but it's harder to put the quotes of that user on ignore and you can miss sub-conversations that maybe you were interested in as a result. In either event you're changing something in your behaviour in order to make allowances for someone else, which in turn affects your enjoyment of the thread

I don't think I've ever put a user on ignore in any forum I've ever spent time reading and I've had to deal with far worse than anyone has ever posted through here (even DBC) so I'm not going to start now.

[The C Kid]

Blatant spam of my mates band here. They've just released a new album and are worth checking out, kinda have a Biffy Clyro, Xcerts, sound about their new stuff.

New album is available here, A Plastic Rose - The Promise Notes , it's free to download in return for a tweet or facebook comment about the band. As I say they are decent and a few people here might like them. Lead single off the album is below as well as an older song.

I've managed to become embroiled in an argument that I really don't care about, which is fairly typical of me tbh so moving away from specifics for a minute

It's an exaggeration here btw but....

if everyone else gets it, and everyone else can post and be posted towards in such a way that they don't find it offensive, and one person constantly finds offense with the same manner and tone, then who do you think should change?

[Iago]

and on that note, I'm going to bed!

[Midnitekowby]

ya no need to bluff early doors, chips come too easy, theyre all back to front in there, spew early and tighten later round bubble...

ya can meet up for a coffee in strandhill or a bit of golfin if u play either, be good to put face to name

After 40 years can a person suddenly change? I am sure she would love to take things the way they were intended instead of the wrong way.

I know what you are saying and all that, but is it practical? I very much doubt it.

Anyway.. where the hell is that Zod fella? causing all that trouble and hiding

[tipp86]

Jesus really what is the world coming to people having petty personal fights on a forum. Do some of ye not have enough issues in every day life.

The problem though is that I'm not sure anything can be said to Michelle without offending her. Personally I don't go there, and just let her off!

[Denny Crane]

We really need Henry17 to post here, looks like he's getting sick of 2p2 anyway.

Are you looking for a fight now that Iago has gone to bed?

And who is fighting? we are having a discussion here. And yes we do have issues in every day life tyvm

My life is pretty perfect, i come here to see how the rest live !!

And on that note, 10 days off the sauce today...feels good to wake up and get out of bed early and actually be awake.

And speaking of awake in the mornings...this has also been very regular the last week...

Zod knew his "FFS MSN. Another tizzy, really?" post was prob going to get the reaction it did.
MSN also knew that her "QED?? wtf. Y U no speak normal" was playing off the lol look at me image.

If Zod should have a moment to think and then say nothing if he's annoyed. Then why shouldn't MSN do the same if she didn't understand QED after googling it?

To be clear, I don't think either of them actually should stay quite.
Sure sometimes Michelle speaks without thinking, but my reaction is and not
Zod did have a bit of an outburst, but I laughed at that too and don't think he was paticularly insulting. Much worst gets posted here imo.

Mellor.. why don't you just shut up now

I just googled QED there, it isn't a plain as day answer really. Most of the time when you google you get what you are looking for. We all know MSN posts first then thinks later and that can be her charm. But Zod was pissed off with poker and imo he said things in a way he wouldn't normally.

Ah I'd say you'd recognise me if I introduced myself to you..We've played together in there a few times. Have improved since I swear

Anyway yeah that's weird I just got onto one of my friends about getting back into golf as I used to play a good bit growing up. Bertie's is more up my street at the moment But definitely be up for it when I get off my arse and get out there.

[Electra Blue]

There's a whole lotta love in this forum for women!

Seriously surprised that Zod posted that hours after the QED posts... reading between the lines, the tone was pretty bitchy for a guy and smacks of cowardice IMO. Making fun of someone's lack of knowledge is a new low for BBV.

Fair play to Mrs F for standing up and speaking out.
