you came to this forum to share something right after an event occured. A player didn’t tell you what they meant but they did use your name. What precisely did they type? if they only said/typed your name, Sassy, just a one word post they probably meant it as an adjective to compliment your play. Weird of them but I would bye that. I don’t know what they literally typed so I can’t respond. Is Sassy your birth name or just a pokersite username? when someone else jumped in, I believe their intentions were to show you the best of relaypoker. everyone should be sincerely polite and civil. That person thought you weren’t, but would type when needed to help restore equity and civility. Most players are nice, and others will be there if things get out of hand. While you were on the receiving end of that person’s ‘how dare you’ comment, you may now feel like two people addressed you. In fact some clarity was what was needed. A quick apology from the name only person would have fixed this. Instead, they just kept off the keyboard to avoid more problems and the game moved on.
It was just a bad moment when intentions are misread by all. Just like typing in all caps sounds like I am shouting. I AM NOT SHOUTING, I SWEAR, I AM JUST MAKING A POINT ABOUT THE CHALLENGES WITH ON LINE DIALOGUE.
If this is already put behind you, then you are undoubtedly enjoying the games here again. you’ve been here for longer than me and know better than me how many good players there are here.
I never feel anything is untrue. I know something did happen and can happen. I myself had never experienced something similar, so I thought that won’t happen often. If it is the exception not the rule, then this site is still a good place to play. Since then I have seen players address each other by name, as though they know each other, and I shared that. I also shared that it didn’t phase me. I also feel that it will very unlikely happen again. If it does, you are ready to type more clearly what is on your mind and resolve this, or you can report that person as described above.
I myself love the one on one or the ne on three sit and gos that fill up quick. And yes you can turn the chat box off and type that you turn it off for their benefit. Then you beat them.
I don’t say GH every hand. That would tire me out. I do compliment some bets if they are special. Players may think what they want. I am just a passing player that they will not think of at all no matter what happens.
I am not going to try to resolve a mutual understanding of this any more. If I am missing something, I cant type a message to answer you or fix things. I do hope that we are on good terms, and that you continue to play poker as a regular. You may win more than me. good luck.
Whoeverit,
You obviously haven’t read the whole thread… and its true, none of us can fix “stupid”. Ppl in this world seem to be of the mindset, than …rather than working thru things, lets just take the lazy way out and do nothing.
The point of this thread was USEFULL discussion on a subject. Not just another thread where ppl argue and put others down. I don’t talk down or past ppl, but I will call BS out for BS. You also Whoeverit, didn’t read krav’s last post… or if you did, you gloss’d over it
If I am talking about horses and say " XYZ can happen if you fall from your horse " and the reply I get is “Z can’t happen, cause I haven’t seen it happen before” … that is just plain ignorant/stupid … If someone who had play’d online poker 20 years more than I have, tried to help me out by telling me things I didn’t know or haven’t seen, I would be thankfull they did, I still would want to completely understand, so prolly might ask a few questions, or ask in a way that was unique.
I’m tired of explaining how I do things, just because its OBVIOUS other ppl cannot Comprehend me… If I say " Are these apples are red " and someone says " I thought bananas were yellow, not red ", then I have no sympathy for you and you better believe I’m going call you out for BS.
I am on whoeverit’s side here. Your comment wasn’t that offensive, but it wasn’t pleasant or productive. The reply about washing eyes made me feel understood with my frustration. This is between us, and I do not want thee feeling of an ambush when other people add kindling.
Now you talk about horses and fruit, and in both cases you articulate that you want to talk about one topic and receive replies about a second one. I also sense that you have 20 years of on line poker (been at replay for closer to 20 days).
We need to articulate our concerns better, both of us. because this frustrating dialogue is going to make things worse.
I will clarify myself here. I will never say that Z can’t happen because I’ve never seen it before. In fact I did acknowledge that I have now seen (around day 18) people address each other by name as they know each other. My point is that they Inadvertently caused a problem, as they might just be people who know each other. some people just say GH more often than others, and I truly believe that everyone is honestly sending their praise. your own poll concluded that.
I remember 20 years ago when AOL had a community of forums. I was writing fiction for a writing contest, and was learning about how a writer uses code to communicate to a reader who interprets the code at their end. We weren’t just talking about good writing skills for getting published by Pocket Books. We were talking about forums and posts that ask a question with the right words so the answer can be as concise and definitive as possible.
I cannot answer your needs any more. It is too frustrating for me, and the event happened days ago. If it happens again, pls start a new thread and use the best code to articulate who said what and how you feel.
It amazes me that this site for on line poker has been running for 20 years, Amazon.com has been around for about that long. It saddens me if things have been going down hill at this site, and advise provided about flaging posts and patiently hoping for another game are at your desposal. I go to the Sit & Go for a 2-3 player game. If I start one, it is full and ready in less than 2 min. So far all 12 or so have been filled by me or for me Very quick. somehow, this will be a good place for most all players.
I have more than a couple years, yes I do, and no I have been @ Replay ( and you’d know this if you took the time to check all my posts going back 14-15 months ) for just less than 18 months… Untill 24 hours ago, I was back up to 5m , but my friends and health issues piss’d me off and I seem to have donk’d off 4.6m in the last 12 hours… 1 of which was playing time… just goes to show you, rank the way its defined here is meaningless… I am no better or worse of a player than when I was @ 19m …
So yes, yes you did say that, then claimed you didn’t say that… You didn’t even know it exsisted… so yes never exsisted & can’t happen aren’t 100% the same thing (sry), but yeah ya did basically say it, that because you haven’t heard someone having my opinion, and because you have never had that opinion, it just isn’t happening…
I tried not to leave our discussion making things personal, yet you kept taking jabs @ me rather than de-bunking my statements… so I went on the offensive…duhhhhhhh… When you in no uncertain terms said, pffft I’m just done talking to you, you’re a waste of my time … do you not see that is the only reason I attempted to continue, because your statement IS MY FRICK’N PROBLEM, and I would like to solve it asap…
I’m trying to expand my knowledge & wisdom database… while @ the same time possibly start a new trend so other ppl don’t have my experience… I’m not sry I am extremely blunt at times, nor be’n sassy… but I try and give everyone “basic” respect, and be un-lazy enough to say something like “you said something stupid”, rather than “you are stupid”… I’m not perfect and I make mistakes, but when ppl don’t in good faith meet me in the middle to discuss, then yeah I find them to be lacking in, well, for lack of a better term… morals/values.
Krav, more than once now I directly quote you, then blow holes in that quote, or use it to my advantage… Yes I get it, you haven’t felt what I feel, you think no collusion ever might happen in a online poker setting, no ppl can’t just switch tables, and on my end, this rediculious behaviour needs to stop…
its impolite to say SS, when SS doesn’t tell me what you are saying… if you mean GH then say GH, don’t say SS… both are 2 letters, no difference in speed 2 type. Online its impossible to distinguish between Dude, dude, dude, dude, and dude, if its just text… I don’t see any " ! ? . = " or any other characters after SS that might give me a clue… It is common to use ones name when you are adressing someone, that still means thats not all you say… for example…" Sarah … nice hand there ", “Sarah” is used to distinguish whom you are speaking to, then your statement … without the 2nd part, the 1st part is ambigious at best, rude @ worst …
I’m glad you’re done with this thread, I get the last word then… thanks…
Greetings Kravpoker,
My oh my… What a small world we do live in… Truly unbelievable… In the mid to late 60’s, they had some poker and dice games along that coast that would knock your socks off… I remember staying in some very nice hotels and sometimes one of those ritzy resorts… It seemed like one of the resorts was somewhere around West Palm Beach. Sometimes my father would take me with him. The games would move around all the way to Boca Raton. If our whole family went, we had this really killer old fashion guest house we would go to that I loved staying at… It was north of Fort Lauderdale and south of Pompano Beach… Those cites of today were much smaller and had an entirely different, friendly vibe.
Anyways, back to what drew me to respond to you. I could feel a genuine sense of heartfelt frustration in your post… It’s not you at all Kravpoker. I’ve experienced the very same sense of internal outrage. I’ve since figured out that in order to be helpful sometimes, you need to have the conversation re-directed to private messaging here in order to not be bogged down with the distractions of the aspiring Perry Mason’s (and I loved the old B&W shows too…)
The only bump in the road most the time is the formalities of a friendship request. So I always let the person know they can turn the friendship button back off if they wish at anytime… And to tell you the truth, it’s starting to work pretty darn well…Which has flabbergasted me. So please keep using the forum here, there’s lots of us that read your post and pretty much respect your opinions & positions. Like myself and a few others are discovering… There’s more than one way to skin a cat… ( Nooooo… I’m not referring to domesticated kitties… at least not since the FDA stoped Stove Top Stuffing from making “Kitty Helper” … )
JUST KIDDING ! ! ! !
With the current storm upon the Great State of Texas, and our good friend lildevil109 who’s from Texas…
Everyone can keep posting here. That is what the community forums are for Rail-Bird.
That’s three threads now you are trying to take to private messaging.
I don’t think that is what the sites ownership had in mind for the discussion forums.
Also I noticed in the threads you are posting music videos.
Paul aka Mr. Replay created a thread to post music videos. I would think as a Player Representative you would like to stick to the Community Guidelines and stay on topic.
Cat = Sassy_Sarah
Skin = “winning” a discussion
Lots of us & not you at all = The can’t stand Sarah group.
frustration in your post = We all are furstrated with Sassy_Sarah
@RailBird, since you like Videos, go watch this 1… Movie: Burgler, Whoopie’s partner delivers a package to a bar owner, after a back/forth a bit, he says …“Like, Like, Like, Like, when I was 5, I said Daddy Daddy, can I get a job where random …” it ends with the guy sign’n for his package, but per TermsOfService I can’t directly give the YouTube video to go watch… Thanks again Rail for taking another 1 of my threads off kilter !!!
And as Perry Mason said, ohh wait he didn’t have to, the person guilty admits thier crime !!!
I’m so glad you pick’d the prosecutor, RailBird… good choice to pick the losing side…
Honestly,
I think it’s just weird.
I understand people do it to say hello, but lets be honest,
how often do you say somebody’s name instead of a simple “Hey!”?
Just so you know, I did not think this for a second. I took that analogy to say that we are all in the same age bracket. We all have the same memories, perry mason was on 7 cbs, and we needed plyers to get the uhf channels. that is just a metaphor of my age. I am not saying that plyers will end our frustration.
Please do not read conflict into things. Sassy, if I wanted to be mean I wouldn’t keep replying. I would ignore this and move on.
The idea of private messaging would work in this case as other people see frustration and the drama publically gets broader. the idea of videos is (well I should watch one first)
Sassy, have there been any problems In a Poker Game in the past 3 days? since all this dialogue started? I hope that the answer is no, that things are improving. We should start fresh and only address anything as current as the past few days only to get a fresh chance at articulating the issue. Perry Mason (or McGarrett from Hawaii) will not let things get too sidetracked. (although I might try to find out how to post my own video.
When I sit initially at a table if I know the persons first name I will use it in my greeting, after that I don’t use that persons name or initials, I only recently saw that at some tables.
If I see a nice hand well executed I will acknowledge it by nh, wp and nc.
I don’t overuse it. Kinda takes away from the intention.
I appreciate the subject and the discussion here, but it has devolved to get a bit personal for a lot of folks instead of it being a broader topic, so I’m closing it out.
… )
