I don’t usually get involved in these sorts of things, but I feel strongly that I must comment in this case. Misscraps is a very good reporter on this forum. She gives valuable details that will help all kinds of gamblers get more out of their casino visits. As I have stressed in my writings –not everyone has the same goals and interests. Many video poker players not only play VP but they are interested in other aspects of the casino life – entertainment, dining, atmosphere, amenities. And the administrator has said that all these things are part of the total gambling life and are suitable for this forum.
In my case, I am not interested in gourmet dining. So when someone reports on this subject I just quickly scan over that material and go to other subjects or to other posts. I don’t criticize the poster for reporting on some particular subject I am not interested in – I know that there are others who are interested.
Someone who has been on this forum for a long time “knows” Misscraps because she has been posting for a long time. (We become “acquainted” with people online even if we don’t know them in person and we can get a lot of information about them by the way they post.) We who “know” Misscraps (online and in person in my case) know she would have no reason to “advertise” any particular casino. She just tells things as she sees them – and is good about telling both the good and the bad about a place or experience. She visits a lot of different casinos and is a valuable resource. I especially like to read her posts to learn about casinos where perhaps I don’t usually visit. In fact, I was very glad to read about LVH. That was a place we used to play – and because of her report, I may check it out again. Since a shabby environment doesn’t bother us -remember I used to say I would go to hell if there were good games there - we might find it a place that could go back on our play list.
I think we all need to be very careful about negative postings. If you don’t like some posters, don’t read their posts. If some posts don’t interest you, take advantage of that useful “Delete” button. And before you criticize/attack someone personally, say to yourself, “ If I met this poster in person, would I say these things to their fact.” Hopefully your answer would be: “That wouldn’t be polite.”
I have never understood people who flail out on the Internet when I am sure that most would not do that, at least so intensely, in person. Don’t people realize how your personality is revealed in your words???
