Goodbye.

[cynthial]

I'm not even going to acknowledge this thread because even a 1st grader knows the best way to make something go away. You just close your eyes really tight and stick your fingers in your ears.

I can't hear you......................La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La

 

[mojo]

Rusty, a break is good. You deserve it and we all need one sometimes.

But goodbye is not an option. We need you around here.

It is not so much who other people are, that is imposible to know. It is how we view them. When it is with a negative attitude then or any other attitude that is not understanding and nurishing, know it as a red flag saying" I need to see this differently." We create the world we see by viewig it. Inside our interpretation is the reality of it all. It is not out there in them. Love these people you want to run from. Resistance, confrontation, alienation is a continuation of their "lost soul vibe". rest now, sleep, come back strong and quietly. All is well!

 

[jetset]

You knowledge, insight, and opinions will be missed. Everyone did not always agree with your findings, or theories, but that is what made them interesting. I know you always made me think twice. Also, the sheep game was fun.

If this is farewell, then good luck, and thank you for all that you have done. I know your posts will be referenced hundreds of times for discussion sake. Perhaps you will one day return. You will be welcomed back with open arms. Take Care

What he said!

 

[chayton]

Hey Rusty - I too have enjoyed reading your posts, and some of the time I even understood what you were saying! Seriously though, I hope it's not goodbye forever - you'll be missed!

 

[TOC]

This tread is pathetic, ranks right up there with rigged software posts and people wanting free chips from casino's because they lose. Your correct Rusty I do see things different, sorry.
You're leaving because you don't like what people are posting in a public forum, fine leave. No way would I post on here saying, oh no don't go and crap like that! Hell you made your decision, go. My question is why do you feel the need to announce leaving?
You stated: Due to a steady increase in shill like posts, unchecked disinformation and general apathy on the subject of fair gaming I will no longer be posting on these boards as I do not want to add legitimacy to these people by responding to them directly.
*Shill like posts are on every message board
*Unchecked information is posted on every board too, hell I even don't agree with a lot of the stuff posted here.
*Apathy, you're wrong there is plenty of that around here.. Definition: an absence of emotion or enthusiasm
Are you being watched? Quote: I do not want to add legitimacy to these people by responding to them directly. The definition of legitimacy means, lawfulness by virtue of being authorized or in accordance with law.
I honestly don't think you'll get prosecuted here at the C.M. site for posts or replies. Although if you have choppers hovering over your house in the middle of the night for No Reason then maybe you're correct on that one.
Your Quote:
It is easier to accept a believable lie before an unbelievable truth Open your mind
Follow your quote, it must have been important to you at some point to open your mind and not worry about posts you don't like, probably including mine. Hell sometimes I drink a bunch of beer, yes I like beer, and I look back at my posts and think what the fuck was you thinking. The fact is it's a message board so don't take it seriously or personal. The old threads fall off and new ones begin.

You'll be missed

I don't know any of you but I wouldn't miss this soap opra for notn'n...

Could we please continue this post all week end. My telly is broken.

Next seen..enter... Rusty

I'm also in the Rusty fan club. I sure hope you change your mind. Best of luck to you no matter what you decide.

[love2winalot]

My question is why do you feel the need to announce leaving?

Hiya: Not to highjack, or change the subject, but this always amazes me. On every message board, you get new people on the board, some, "like this one", even have a, "Introduece yourself" section, set up for people to announce their arrival. Go back and look at it. It also says to tell WHY you are joining the board, and what you want out of it, and/or have to offer......

So...........Why is it ok to say, "Hi, I am New, I am here because...............
But it is not ok to say, " Goodby, i posted a lot, and I am leaving because.....
????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If it is OK to say Hello, then it is also OK to say Goodby........

Rusty, I cannot count the number of times in a month that I come to the same state of mind that you are in right now. I have found that revelations of true, ugly facts are rarely accepted without a fight when money is involved. I have to constantly remind myself of my own knowledge and observation of the human condition.

Nothing that challenges the power and control of a tyrannical or financially biased mode of operation will be received without an offensive response, from those that are benefiting the most AND the least. Usually, the ones that are at the top have the shrewdness and experience to gracefully attempt to manipulate the situation to their own advantage. The ones at the bottom are the most irrational and aggressive.

No profound injustice can be corrected without conflict. Before the process begins, I gird my loins and carry a big stick.

I am a fighter and though I may often feel old and weary, I simply cannot stop fighting. I may lower my sword from the weight of carrying it, but I cannot leave the battlefield and abandon what I know is righteven when every fiber in me wants to retreat. At the time, I am longing for the contentment that complacency and ignorance brings. The problem is I am not a complacent or ignorant being.

Irrational and aggressive reactions in the face of principle reveals important information. These displays of contempt provide me with the knowledge of their weaknesses and their strengths, so I give them the floor. I am still, so that I dont miss anything that will enhance my response.

I-told-you-so means absolutely nothing to memy intent is to prevent or remove the problem, not receive glory for discovering it.

My intent always is to succeed-whether I do or not at the moment. I plant seeds and hope they take root. When they dont, I plant more seeds.

Im sorry, Rusty, but you are not capable of leaving the battlefield and you are not of a complacent or ignorant nature. You, my friend, are not made of the characteristics that are required to be content and at peace with what is blatantly wrong.

Dont go...you'll weaken your allies, which I consider myself to be one of.

 

[Jasminebed]

Rusty, I will miss you here on the forum and in the POC.

I hope your "goodbye" is more an "au revoir" than an "adieu".

I sincerely hope that a break will suffice and you will come back to share your insight, knowledge and speculation with us.

 

[AussieDave]

Hi Mate,

Sorry to see you go, I'd wish you'd reconsider. But sometimes everyone has to take a stand on what they believe in, even though some people may not understand their reasoning.

Whatever you get up to, remember that you've always got a bunch of good friends here at CM if you ever need an ear.


Cheers



Dave

 

[jas2587]

I think this deserves a bump as I am sure some people have not seen it

Again Rusty you will be missed lots

Cindy

 

[gloria460]

So sorry to see you go

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. I come on here and look for intelligent discussions and information regarding online casinos. I always look for posts or threads from you and it has enlightened my mind tremendously about online gaming.

The discussions at times were heated but what I liked about your posts were the facts and not the theories. I for one am going to truly miss your posting and knowledge so I hope that you really do reconsider and see how many people you have affected and who do need your insight.

Thanks for everything that you have contributed and hopefully more in the future. I also had a blast with the sheephead quiz.

 

[KasinoKing]

I'm sorry, but I must comment on that - you've got it the wrong way round.
The very reason I myself had "heated discussions" with Rusty was because most of what he posted was just supposition and theory - he never backed up any of his claims with actual facts.
If he had ever proved any of his claims I would have been just as happy to go along with it as anyone else.

That said, I totally respected his beliefs, intelligence and sense of humor, and will miss him as much as anyone else.

Then I will have to agree to disagree with you. I read most of the post on this forum and when I'm looking for something in particular I type in that subject or the forum member's name to see if I can find anything to help me when I'm sitting on the fence about a certain casino, etc.

Many a times what I'm going thru at X casino has been posted by Rusty and sometimes by yourself. When something keeps repeating itself over and over again and you have many voices complaning of the same thing when is it going to stop being a theory.

Hopefully he will come back and continue his discussions with you and the rest of the board.

 

[pevangel]

No matter what Rusty, you will be missed by us for sure. I wish you the best. I hope you have a change of heart.

Dave? Dave? Dave? Dave's not here?

That sucks

 

[Antonia1953]

There is absolutely nothing wrong in taking a stand on an issue you believe in, but when you do so in a public forum, you are inviting the opinions of others. If you do not want feedback on an issue, then it should be put in a blocked blog.

Rusty has brought up a lot of subjects that are not popular and I commend him for it, however, when you are in an informed environment you should expect an exchange of ideas and have your ducks in a row to handle them.
At least when someone responds there is a certain level of respect. Some of us are actually shunned for our opinions, which is total disrespect and has ran off more than a few members.

Whether someone thinks differently from you or not does not necessarily make them an enemy or a friend.

Very well put Antonia1953. Thank you.

Another good man lost...times are bleak.

5 weeks ago:

I consider this forum not only to be the best gambling forum but also amongst the best moderated public forums on the net.

Keep up the good work.

And 5 weeks later:

Due to a steady increase in shill like posts, unchecked disinformation and general apathy on the subject of fair gaming I will no longer be posting on these boards

Rusty

Will be a shame for you to go Rusty. You appeared a rare voice of reason and objectivity in a world where both attributes are rarely found together.

Best of luck in whatever you do in the future - and I pray you don't give in to disillusionment as I am prone to do....

I feel a sense of gloom at your departure as I suspect we hold similar feelings on very important but controversial topics - but where I don't have the posting history to create widespread group support (I would conveniently harassed or shouted down upon posting such observations) - I strongly believe you had the popularity and respect to make the same points, AND actually get people to consider them for their face value.

I am sorry to see you go.

Take care....
