Steven Corfman ("CityGuard") in Good Spirits after Removal from Hotel Lobby
I want to thank everyone who has expressed their support and concern. I was in temporary pain but did not sustain any injury when being carried out of the lobby. Lou has since apologized in private for the physical threats he made against me, a colleague, and my dad. I was a bit shaken and saddened at the time. But I think it is incredibly important to seize moments of reflection when they present themselves: The following morning I tried to put my best foot forward and let the whole event propel, rather than diminish, the spirit of partnership and collegiality that so many people bring to the industry.
As a community of professionals, I've seen you help one another grow your businesses, help those who have fallen into times of personal struggle, overcome shyness and uncertainty to begin asking questions and learn a new business, giving back to others what you have learned along the way. GPWA members choose to come together and turn competitors into partners, newcomers into colleagues, and strangers into friends.
It can be easy to focus on the negative when faced with problems and hurtful discoveries, losing sight of larger goals. If one piece of good can come out of this incident let it be that it provides an opportunity to reflect on how our actions align with the goals that we value. Open yourself to a new member of the community, write a note on that new idea you had or new technique you tried, reply to that question you saw someone ask even if you have only part of the answer, find a quality program to partner with, ask that question that is on your mind that you were afraid would seem silly. Chances are you'll not only help yourself by jumping in, but help those around you as well.
In sum, I'm doing well, with vision more focused on the future than ever.

If we could just get the world to embrace your attitude.....
What a shining example you are for the next generation of gambling portal webmasters. Well done to Corfman Jr. And good job to Corfman Sr. for raising such a fine man.
I'm glad to see you post sir, and very happy to find out that you are not discouraged from this industry .. if that is so your choice ... by the actions of a select few.
Do not think twice about any threats made for they were likely those of a person who had lost control, lost perspective and I would hope didn't realize what they were saying.
There are far too many witnesses to the recent last events for you to ever have to worry to look over your back. Even a crazed person would realize they'd be the very first the police would go after if something happened to you.
I just wanted to point those facts out because its easy for somebody to tell you its okay ... when its not their butt on the line.
In this case though I'm certain for reasons mentioned ... if not for the right ones ... that you have nothing to worry about.
Yes move forward. Though I might suggest being the scoundrel that I am ... that I'd be working Dad for a big raise ... all things considered.
Good to see your as healthy, thoughtful and ambitious as ever.
S.

Glad you're okay - we were being kept up to date by a number of people after leaving for Bath - last I knew you had just gotten back into the hotel and was worried that the person you were supposed to meet inside would think you had stood him up. I hope you managed to have that meeting later.
There seems to be a bit of confusion though - were you later escorted from the lobby? I assume this took place shortly after we left.
Anyhow, hope all is well - tell your dad he needs to take you to Macau
Good to see you back, Steven, with your customary positive attitude and optimism.
That's why it was so absurd to hear that it was you who'd been evicted - a less likely trouble maker I couldn't imagine!
Anyway, let's hope others in this industry can take your lead and start moving forward with a spirit of helping every member, rather than just looking for more oportunities to cash in.
