Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
In short, he basically said anyone who made an online bet with some one they did not know deserved what ever they get. He basically absolved CSTU of being the person who was wrong. After not giving up on this ridiculous stance, he got shredded by numerous posters who found out his love of the birds.
To make a long story short: CSTU and myself were the most vocal liberals/progressives on the board. Once CSTU had taken a powder, the usual suspects needed someone to go after and that was me by default. It was guilt by association and the mob came after me with the idea to drive me from these forums, with the attacks reaching almost demented proportions (it was so bad that even Eminence, of all people was saying that it had gone too far and amounted to cyber bullying). In any event, I survived and lived to post another day.
That is a false statement. I never absolved CSTU of being in the wrong. I always felt he should have honored the wager.
, pretty bad when you gotta go there 
I don't remember this.TheMagus said:
Yeah, if I was @Sinn Fein, I'd make sure to never let that go. C'mon Stu, at least make that rightthis might have been my favorite ongoing joke of the thread
I remember trying to explain to my wife why I was watching a stranger live online playing a pigeon dating game and why it was so funny.
Instead of paraphrasing, lets look at the much less polite way you actually stated you point over and over again
Dude, an anonymous poster on a message board gave 7-1 odds for $2,100 in bets where the most generous internet sites were giving 4-1.
I am Shocked! Shocked! that he has taken a powder.
The fact that you and others here expected a prompt pay off (if any at all) speaks volumes about your gullibility.
Yeah, maybe he is good for this, but few here have $2,100 in loose change or their PayPal account that they can make this type of payment.
I offered $100 bets at even money, thank goodness no one took me up on that.
I’d have rather explained that than the time she caught me watching @John Bender do his fantasy draft on Twitch
Wait what? @Reginald Cornsilks gone too? I thought his hiatus was self imposed. I guess I do have a direct line to him if really necessary
That's the only way to talk to him now after his perma ban :(
Bender got a month suspension for some joke he made in the political forum. When he wrote an email to describe his feelings (using very strong language) of said suspension, it got upgraded to a perma ban.
I still can't find any post of you calling out CSTU for being at complete and total fault back when this all started. I did get bored finding a ton of posts of you blaming every one else though who made the bet with him. I only clipped the first few.
exactly.
Was just about to ask if we could get that reinstated for the holiday seasonigeon: emoticon was the best... sadly only around for like 2 days.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I remembered that squis was a martyr/whiner/grating type, but couldn't remember why. Now I can.
Not at all
Ok this post does it. I’m going to have to go back and read 90 pages to see how this guy welched, how someone tracked him down, perhaps through some sort of cd business? And some sort of pigeon live stream event? I feel like I’m watching pulp fiction, and at the end it will all come together.Let's see a quote about limiting your exposure and a post consolidating the bets for tracking purpose. Yeah looks like joke bets to me.
Cut out some time, it's worth it. The "Pulp Fiction" reference is equal to a thousand likes.
Damn wish I was in this thread back then, I could have taken those odds and not paid you but then I could point and say “aha you owe me!”
I'm going to the dog track and playing some poker later today. I might try the "joke bet" too.
If we get @redman and @BGP back I'll explode.Also, thanks, @cstu, for bringing @Willie Neslon out of the woodwork. How many more "Missing FBGs" can we turn over this Weekend of Thanks?
don't know how you found it suspicious as that was Vegas odds at the time, but whatever.
