I come back from one of the greatest trips of my life and this is what I get to deal with. I think this is what I get for leaving G-Vegas. If I were there, this would never have happened. That's why it pays to have a sober person in the middle of drunken madness.
When I first heard of the weekend dustup, I thought it was a joke. Then I started getting bombarded with phone calls and IM's from my closest friends back in South Cackalacky. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. I immediately reached out to G-Rob and Otis... after all, there's an awful lot of history there.
Bottom line, things are bad. There's a good chance G-Rob crossed a line, but since I wasn't there, I don't want to pass judgement. I do know he's chosen to move on and join Bad Blood. I'll be the first to say I'm disappointed. Especially at the tone of G-Rob's first post. But I certainly don't hold anything against Blood. G-Rob needed a place to fall, and that's a good a place as any.
Until (If?) things get patched up, Up For Poker will move ahead as well. Joining the ranks is my brother, Lefty. Many of you know him. He's not much of a poker player (but was G-Rob really? I keed... I keed!). But he will bring a unique perspective.
It's apparent that Tri-Clops will need to go on hiatus as well. There's just too much bad blood (no pun intended) to get into any meaningful debates there right now.
Anyone who knows me knows I fall into the "peacemaker" role a lot. I don't like conflict. I especially hate when it affects this blog or this community. But it's not a role I relish and I want to get past this thing as soon as possible. Any help you all may provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like brother's fighing to me. At least what we country folk call a kin-mishap. It happens...I had a friend shot for 5.00 bucks by his brother...poor bastard. I laugh at these little fights...hit my site to see the guys I had to deal with.

Posted by: Bloody P at March 30, 2006 2:35 PMYou probably don't want to hear my opinion, which starts with "good riddance," but if he were any kind of friend, he wouldn't be taking his snit out on you. IF everything he had to say in his post were true, he's got a legitimate reason to be angry with Otis--and having read some of his stuff at Tri-Clops, I'm not willing to to assume that--but he's sticking you in the middle. That's not what friends do.
