This may not seem to have anything to do with blackjack. It depends on if I write more later. But this was something that happened yesterday and thought it was worth sharing.

I was walking into Atlantis. A young lady was on crutches coming towards me from the opposite direction. Her right leg was gone from the knee.

We arrived at the stairway at the same time. I waited at the top of the stairs to hold the door open for her. I can't tell you how many times I've went up and down those stairs. Never thought about how many. But this girl was very much aware as she negotiated those 7 steps.

She was athletic. She had to lean on her crutches with her full body weight and lift her left (only) leg to the next step. She apologized for taking so long and explained this was her first day on crutches. So whatever happened that took her leg was recent.

I didn't know how to help her. It was something she had to do on her own and hopefully not fall flat on her face. Good news is she made it and thanked me for holding the door.

But I'm the one who should be thanking her. She opened life's door for me that allowed me to witness the young ladies courage and great attitude.

She went to her left to face her next task of the escalator. I went straight ahead to do whatever it was I deemed important at the time.

I hope and believe she will be okay and endure whatever challenges are forthcoming. I KNOW I'm a better person from our brief encounter.

In all the years/decades involved in sports, I've never witnessed anything as spectacular as yesterday. And she did completed the task 7 times. Failure was not an option..
The top step was her biggest challenge because there were no rails. She focused on that one just a few seconds longer.

I wished I would've put it together quick enough to say "awesome job."

The fact she was headed directly to the escalator leading to the 2nd floor suggests her purpose was not gambling. There are convention and meeting rooms, an arcade, and a nice eating place known for happy hour etc.

In Blackjack, we have a choice. She didn't. And is doing a masterful job with the hand life dealt her.🤔👍👍👍

Forum member moses (a.k.a. Tater at other gambling forums), died recently. He had announced in June, that he had been diagnosed with cancer, and then in August he was to start his second round of chemotherapy. I don't believe he had any indication that he was ill before a couple months ago. The way he related his story, his doctors did treat him but never told him that he would be okay, so maybe he understood what might be in store.

He had posted his real name more than once so I don't think he would mind now.

It's disgustingly disturbing that someone used the guy's memorial page in an attempt to throw shade at someone else they have an issue within the gaming forum community.

I highly doubt his friends, family and others know much about his time spent on the forms, no doubt leaving them confused.

Kevin was a valued participant on various online gambling forums. A relentless advocate for the truth, he pursued UNKewlJ with a vigor not often seen. He hated liars and when the UNKewl one began with his stories, it was Kevin who made it his mission to hold him to account. We will all miss him terribly.

RIP"

It's even more disgusting that it was a poor attempt to make it look as if it was a compliment.

SHAME ON YOU!!!!

I haven't any Idea why KJ would mention that crap either, shame on both of you.

I would ask that AxelWolf be suspended immediately for a few reasons:

(1) I did not make that post in question. As AxelWolf is aware, an imposter did - this is already well known and discussed by the others all over the internet.

(2) He is violating Rule 16, by introducing something that a banned member is saying (if he is even saying it, from what we know that banned member KewlJ's post was also made by an imposter).

(3) He is introducing drama to the highest degree from another forum, the "forum" created online by the Funeral Home where Moses was buried.

The fact that AxelWolf is drawing attention to this implies that he is the one who made the imposter posts, or supports that sort of terrible thing.

He is also insulting me for something I never said. And drawing attention in very bad taste to something that we are in the process of contacting the Funeral Home to have the counterfeit post(s) removed.

Some imposter(s) did something in very poor taste on Moses' memorial page, and AxelWolf seems determined to bring that drama to WOV.


I made one post only on Moses' memorial page which was as follows:

Shame on you for importing drama from another forum (in this case a memorial page on an unrelated site) into this forum.

I added to the thread's title to reflect the new subject of Moses' passing - which is a subject that is of wider interest. I hope no one objects.

In case you haven't noticed, this site is full of drama and always has been. If you don't see the difference in posting something here as opposed to something on a guy's memorial page, I don't know what to say.

Simple. Importing drama from other forums is suspendible behavior, and has been enforced before. On 6/10/22 a member was suspended for just such an offense. This example is particularly blatent.

And it's not just that, the guy knows or should know I did not make the post in question and as well should know that neither did former member KewlJ, so his doggedly pressing the need in this thread, and by doggedly I mean more than once, to bring it up here is very wrong and in bad taste.

OK, I see the three reasons listed, but only doxing is proscribed by written rule.

There is no written rule prohibiting importing drama from another forum, nor is there such a rule prohibiting truce violation.

There is a rule against doxing.

Unless a rule is written and then published / made known it is not a rule, is it?
