    I love your videos J., but the GPWA pick for this week, "PokerStars first to offer shared player pool in France, Spain", is not the right pick.

    No new poll was created by Michael on 17. January as usual!

    No, but the most shameful thread ever in GPWA's history is still open after one week of a scandalous manhunt, and in the meantime also the first people of at least Germany's Asperger community are reading here, realizing with dismay, what happens here.

    That thread is so full of hate. It's a piece of lunacy, a hit piece against a nice person, a GPWA member with absolutely no wrongdoing at all. This person now is under the impression of fear. And people with knowledge about Asperger Syndrome knows, what this means.

    The "Should we BAN "vtyunby65" from GPWA?" poll, THIS would be the correct GPWA pick for the video this week, if CCM would have balls.

    Because unfortunately, it's the #1 top trend here on GPWA, and sooner or later it will be the discussion topic of the Asperger community.

    Nice as that people are, that people with Asperber Syndrome will read here silent, and with that thread, whose hate is rising and rising, and it is still not locked, with that thread GPWA is hurting the feelings of each and everyone of them.

    THIS is, what the GPWA pick of the week should be in this video in my opinion.

    In the interest of clarity, it should be noted that I select the stories for the shows based on what is making headlines. I choose news based on how much I believe those stories will affect the affiliate community. The stories are submitted to GPWA and the show is produced. Finished shows are submitted for editorial review and then published.

    Personally, I do not hang out in the forums all that much. There are several reasons for this, including my other work obligations. But a large contributing factor is that I do not want to get drawn in to some of the time consuming discussions which can become personal, political and insulting. Of course, I am not always successful at avoiding conflicts... even when I recognize the futility of them.

    I say all of this so that you understand that I may or may not be aware of the dynamics of each forum discussion. I mostly read what is posted in response to the news stories I glean from the headlines so that I can address what webmasters are asking and thinking. This does not mean I am not aware or do not care... it is simply a personal decision I made years ago to preserve my sanity and my time.

    To surmise, it will be a rare occasion when I comment on something like the thread you mentioned. It is not a mainstream news story, and I have to decide what belongs in a mainstream video that is not only published in this forum, but sent to thousands in a newsletter, carried on hundreds of portals, and accessible on YouTube to anyone.

    Do not take my professional position to reflect my personal feelings, as I am sure you understand that I must strike a balance between aggressively defending affiliates, maintaining good relationships with sponsors, representing Casino City, and somehow still make the shows entertaining. Like all of you, I have a family depending on me and personal obligations that weigh on me as well.

    That said, come find me in London. Buy me a drink or two, and we can discuss things off camera... person to person.

    The thread in question was locked. But you can't seem to let it go. Spotted two of your posts so far (after the fact), with backhanded slaps, just like this one. Ironically, the majority of that venomous "hate" came from your hand. That's not an opinion btw, it's yet another fact.
