Rob Singer etc. - MOVED to FREEvpFREE

#1

I understand this point of view, and sympathize with those who feel
that the Rob Singer links are non and/or counter productive.

A lot of thought has gone into the Rob Singer situation, and how it
should be handled on vpFREE, and I'm relatively content with current
practices which were primarily motivated by free speech and fairness
considerations.

Hopefully the disclaimer statement that accompanies the links gives
adequate warning to unsuspecting newbies, and I recommend judicious
use of the delete key for the uninterested. I'm going to add a link to
the vpFREE Rob Singer Policy <http://tinyurl.com/aeec> to the
disclaimer.

FWIW, in a 2002 vpFREE poll only 32 of 171 voters disliked "having a
link to Rob Singer's GAMING TODAY columns in vpFREE"

I have a relatively open mind regarding content on vpFREE and welcome
suggestions for improvement. I'm posting this message and all of the
other messages in this thread on FREEvpFREE and request that any
further discussions take place there.

I would just like to post my 2 cents worth about this "Singer"

situation. I first will state that I do not agree with about 90% of
what Mr. Singer has to say. I guess I just have another school of
thought and am very sure of myself about it. I am even MORE sure
that I am glad someone like Mr. Singer is free to express his
viewpoints on this board! I believe it to be helpful if for no other
reason than to question what I believe and feel stronger about those
beliefs.

So thank you Mr. Singer for being free with your opinions...they are
always expressed in a professional manner and I do not see you
demeaning anyone.

Also, thanks to the administrator of this board for allowing the free
and open expression of ideas and thoughts. Our constitution allows
for expression of many viewpoints and I am glad you are such an
upstanding American as to allow these "alternate" viewpoints to be
expressed in a constructive manner.

Now lets have some fun!
