Mike, let me take the time to address a couple of points in your eloquent and thoughtful post:
1. I wasn't very happy (and probably other guys weren't as well) about waiting for you to only find out that you were going to fold (you could have done that weeks ago). Secondly, the whole point of this pass was to play cards for the pot. If you weren't interested in doing so, then you shouldn't of played. Folding is completely asinine in a game like this, which doesn't cost you a thing to play. It makes absolutely no sense. You have nothing to lose and you never know what you might get dealt.
2. Regarding you being on a business trip; I figured you might be on a trip since you were MIA for about a week, which is why I asked the guys if they wouldn't mind waiting for you to return. I thought I was being thoughtful and respectful of your circumstance (even though you didn't give anyone a heads up and left us all guessing), but apparently you don't agree. Heck, we would would have continued to wait for you if that meant you would play. Go back and read the posts, we were clearly trying to accommodate you.
3. The last thing I will state is that you can take your hostile, belligerent, infantile attitude elsewhere. Let us finish the pass, which has been a lot of fun, in peace. However, if you feel the need to find closure in this matter by continuing to call me names and tossing insults, then knock yourself out and have fun.
Take care and good riddins, Pal -
