24-01-2006 1:32am#1Didn't know this forum was here so this is my first post in it.
Took first place in the Stone House in Navan on Thursday last. 20 Euro entry. I think there was 78 people at it. The turning point for the night was when I was big blind and only had 4500 chips and the blind was 5000. I had j 9. Small blind folded and had two callers. I won with a pair of nines. About 5 mins later I had about 80,000 chips and could do no wrong. Ended up at the final table in a very strong position. Played tight/aggressive and knocked out a few. At the heads up the other player just went all in on every hand. So he kept taking the blinds. I called with a pair of sixes not the kinda hand I'd normally call an all in with but the fact that he was taking the blinds everytime I had to do something he had A 3. When I seen the A I was not too happy. He flopped a 3 and the turn and river done nothing that was it I won with the 6's and ended the tourney right there. I won 1500 cash and a 500 euro ticket to the grand final. I'll let you know how I do in that.

You must understand, this is one of the most FUN parts of this job. The sound of silence down the telephone when you phone INSANE RAGE (or his mummy) is gratifying beyond belief.
People who abuse this site for their own fncking selfish ends get right up my already oversized hooter! Hangin's too good for them.
Turning them into play things for my amusement is their way of paying me back for the time they waste. "Glenstal" has to be my finest hour, if you've ever wanted utter revenge on some ignorant little keyboard warrior who thinks he's safe to say vitriolic sh*t because he's behind a keyboard, read that thread (music forum). I've always hated cowards and selfish fncktards, I dunno what it is, its like a red rag to an otherwise congenial bull.
Why can't we all work towards building something totally cool??? Why do some people have to be dicks? I dunno, I think I'm a disillusioned hippy.
(Am I sounding like Doc on a bender yet or what?)

Basically some ignorant little rich kid in an extremely posh boarding school repeatedly "waged war" on Boards.ie. Eventually I got p*ssed off with him and asked the feedback and music forums to email his headmaster. (I traced him back to his school and looked up their website, not all that hard actually).
Within an hour I was phoned by the IT manager of the school and asked to halt the deluge. They got something in the region of 100 mail an hour which was causing the genuine mail in the head's inbox to be effectively spammed out of it. I refused until the head phoned me himself, we talked about it, the lad had his internet access revoked and was suspended for two days. At which point we ceased sending him mails.
That was about 3 years ago I think.
If we were to do that now, their mail server would probably break.
In my time I've phoned several "mommies", a few bosses, we've taken a picture of one cyber-warrior who swore we'd never find him through the webcamera on the website of the cyber cafe he was using (circled it in red with a big arrow point at him and the text "You Are Here" on it).
We also caught Esat pretending to be an accountacy company in the midlands and slating Eircom's broadband. I kid you not, the Director of Marketing (afaicr) was caught doing it and I gave whotshisname Murphy a repeated bollocking via email. She was transferred to the ISDN dept. (look in IOFFL for Aprils fool, she got caught and gave away her identity without checking which account she was auto logged into...)
More seriously I've had one paedophile traced and apparently he lead the Harcourt street team to a group of about 10 of them who all got busted (that alone makes me very happy, though standing next to huge brown boxes of "evidence" was one of the most disturbing things I've experienced in my life).
I had to file a police report on a user who wrote and published a rape fantasy about a fellow female student in UL.
I've been harrassed by the provos, filed by the CIA and threatened by the Nazis.
All of this just as a regular Joe Soap who wanted a place where people with common interests could exchange information. Seems like such a innocent idea!
Mad isnt it?
ps: this isn't a "woo I'm great" post, this is just to indicate that the "freedom" you perceive yourself to have...its not as real as you think and its worth fighting for. The second you start to try to do anything in this country (or probably any country) you have people who want to break it, fnck with it, steal it or use it for their own selfish ends. Not all of them I mean, look at our Mods, BSOP, BCOOP, etc. Look at SSF and response from people out there. But all the same, the nasty toxic people? yeah, I hate them because they drag the others down and retard humanities progress because they are dicks.
Here endeth the sermon.
