Derail...
Once again, I have tried to resist posting at you Mavin. I told myself not to get upset with you. Your entire litany about me here was totally beyond the pale, since you pursued me to be your friend, and in fact agreed with me on certain members and certain situations. You have a really bad habit of PMing one thing and posting the opposite. You seem to have appointed yourself all knowing sage here at Casinomeister. Guess what? You definitely are not! You simply like to pretend to understand without knowing facts on occasion.
I will say no more, but.....I would suggest you find some other supposed friend to lambaste.
As for 4ofakind, he is not a person that would be intimidated by anyone, or "run off" like some have hinted of. I do believe he was upset, but I also believe he needed help. I actually am sorry for going off on him. He just wasn't wanting to be honest about his "knowledge", and seemed to think everyone would jump on board without proof.

And folks, please do not get your panties in an uproar, Mavin knows why I wrote this post, if she is willing to be honest.
End of Derail...
Okay, so you've been brewing because I publicly jumped on you, don't know why it should bother you so much since you do it all the time to nearly everybody else that isn't your "friend" here on the forum.
You wish to fabricate pm's between you and I? Well firstly there are only 3 people here on the forum that I may discuss certain things with regarding certain members, you're not one of them. But no matter, say what you must, if it makes you feel better. However, I have a habit of keeping all pm's and emails, would you like me to post all the conversations about painting, horses, ebay, the mother in law, alzheimers, because between you and I, there was no trust in you being a friend to confide in other matters, you were someone I was being friendly with, because it's easier than having you poke me in the ass all the time as you did during most of my membership here.
So you're pissed because you think I am trying to dethrone you, well I'm not, but you need to consider that with all the nasty approaches you throw at people that are as you say, not your friends, you too are a discredit to the forum and lack respect for what Bryan has made it to be.
So I go and post some things in a thread about US Concentration camps, pissed you off? As you had to jump in, rather than ignore it and try to rally your "friends" to mock it. No big deal, I ignored your childish attempt and moved on.
So you're probably pissed about the thread I started regarding having respect for Pina, Nifty and Nash and didn't include you. Okay, the reason is, even though they can be hard asses at times, at least they have some knowledge of the subjects being discussed to back up why they feel the way they feel, you have non of that. You are just mean and nasty and it's the same reptitive crap over and over.
As long as you have been on this forum, one would think you would have gleened something off the 3 mentioned above for counter debate. Or learned some patience and manners from posters like KK, VWM, Lauriejim, ChuChu, Robwin, Nate, Nisobar, Silc, Felicie, JustPlay and so many more I can't mention them all.
But since you wish to carry this one step further, let me post the pm you sent me and my response to you. Oh, I guess you are pissed too, because I reported your pm. Frankly, I don't deal well with any type of threats and I especially don't deal well with intimidation. But I think you are going to find that not everyone will cower when you jump in their face and and start barking at them continuously and bearing your teeth.
Throughout my life, I have been given away, abused in foster homes, beaten, starved, lived in a cave, lived in a car, nearly killed several times by my ex husband, who was a POW in Viet Nam, now deceased. So there comes a time in ones life that after you have learned a very painful lesson on how not to be to people, you decide you will also not take abuse of any kind anymore, nor always stand by silently while others are being abused.
Once you told me, in I think the Censorship thread, that I am always sticking my ass out there to be kicked, well I am what I am, but keep in mind, you do eventually run into someone that will kick back, or push them into it. So if you are always egging for a fight, best make sure you really want one.
Well

Mavin,
I am truly surprised at your turning against me publicly. I did apologise to you a long time ago, even if you have forgotten it. I tried to be friends with you and thought we were.
The person you have become here is one of supposed maturity and rationality, being "all knowing and prescience", which is a tall order to fill. I do not hold your ignorance against you, you think you are picking the right horse to back.
I wish you the best, but I will also say that you are now a target for any stupidity you utter, not just from me but from other long time members who are a lot more knowledgeable than you are and are my friends.
Sorry you decided to pick your friends based on them being the under dog rather than for correct reasons.
Joanne

Joanne,
I know you don't understand why I said what I did, but I did and because I am tired of seeing people hurt by certain ways of responding.
I still think of you as a friend, despite having gotten upset with you, friends do fight sometimes and when and where it happens is just the circumstance of the moment.
Maybe, I am short towards your type of responses because of things I am dealing with in my life, such as the mom in law, which you are aware of and the husbands cancer, which you probably aren't aware of.
So if my being ignorant is how you wish to view me, then that is okay, it's your decision, we all come to a point in our lives where we make decisions to change or stay the same.
If I am now considered a target for ridicule or whatever, it is less important than worrying about the ones that are closest to me that I may lose one day.
Know this, although your post angered me, I hold no animosity towards you, I just wish you could be a little kinder to those that are seeking their way and working through issues.
Anyways, don't want to be long winded here, I wish you the best also and you will always be in my heart just the same.
