I think not only Absolute Poker should be blacklisted, but their image handlers masquerading as journalists at Gambling911 should go right in there with them. This is pathetic.
I love this line: "The best news of all," O'Brien points out, "is that our announcement to bring Absolute Poker back onto Gambling911.com has been met with zero resistance from the online poker community."
I guess if complete and total disgust doesn't count as resistence, then ok.

Absolute Poker Could Become Safest Poker Room
Gambling911.com expressed its commitment to premiere poker room sponsor, Absolute Poker, this week. It announced bringing that online poker site back onto Gambling911 as early as next week or Mid-November, even sooner than initially intended.
Despite some initial blunders in dealing with what many now believe to be a rogue consultant who was able to access the Absolute Poker backend, engaging in a tournament cheating scheme over nearly a two month period, Absolute has since reimbursed those players even remotely believed to have fallen victim; they've invited customers down to their Costa Rican-based operation, which employs a few hundred people; and most importantly of all the company has been working diligently to ensure such a security lapse never happens again.
"The reality is that Absolute Poker is probably going to be the safest online poker room around because of this incident," expressed Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website. "Sometimes it takes a debacle like the one we witnessed last month to add that extra layer of awareness and accountability."
Absolute Poker is prepared to do whatever it takes to show it is commitment to the online poker world and for customers this will likely mean bigger tournament prizes and bonuses than ever before.
"There are going to be some extraordinary positive announcements coming down the road," an Absolute Poker representative told Gambling911.com on Wednesday in regard to the unveiling of some new promotions.
Inquiries related to Absolute on the Gambling911.com website have been unsurpassed according to O'Brien.
"Most people just want to know their money is safe and that Absolute is a poker room in which they can feel secure."
Right now, many believe Absolute is taking a chapter from Post-9/11 airport security. An outside firm has been brought in to oversee what could be the most thorough audit of an Internet gambling enterprise ever.
UltimateBet, which does not share the same software platform as Absolute but functions as a partner company, has already been welcomed back to the Gambling911.com website.
The two poker entities comprise one of Gambling911's most lucrative advertising campaigns.
"Since 2000, our readers have come to trust Gambling911's judgment in these matters. We are extremely confident that Absolute Poker will be bigger and better than ever before," says O'Brien.
The poker room continues to flourish. Absolute Poker was one of the biggest hiring employers in Costa Rica over the last 12 months and a vital source of that nation's massive online gambling industry.
"The best news of all," O'Brien points out, "is that our announcement to bring Absolute Poker back onto Gambling911.com has been met with zero resistance from the online poker community."
O'Brien also expressed fury over a public relations firm allegations to the New York Times that Absolute Poker had reneged on a deal.
"Business disputes do not need to be aired in a public forum. Absolute Poker has a reputation for paying advertising venues and affiliates in a timely fashion. Absolute Poker has been nothing but meticulous in their business dealings with Gambling911."
