A shame to have lost the "Honorable Kim Lee" truly a BJ Machine and one of the greatest players alive today, or in any other time.
Ps - You were right, who the OP is - he's posting this same attack elsewhere.
Mod at (Dead link: http://www.beyondcounting.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=436) _ExCAA board ALSO let him slide_, maybe cause no one's minding the store there?

Hard to say. We don't have hard and fast rules that cover everything. FWIW, I don't think that's a problem.
In this case I was uncomfortable enough about the post that I contacted the parties mentioned. If they had indicated that they would prefer it be edited, it would be. Of course, if actual names or identifying info had been posted, I wouldn't have hesitated in pulling the thread. My main reason in contacting the individuals was in case they felt that the usernames were not secure enough to protect their identity.
As for the general tone of the OP, I would say it falls short of the personal attack guideline. However, if the OP were to make multiple posts of this nature, I would likely blast or edit them. For the current conversation, I've let stand the OP's statement of his opinion, and I think the community is best served by the post and subsequent replies remaining visible.

Good call, Ken.
FWIW, LVBear and Chappy have long, consistent internet histories, as well as personal contacts to support positive, honest reputations. I have never seen anything suspicious in their posts.
LVBear was well within his rights to omit sensitive information. As for Chappy's big session, I can believe him blasting away at $5K table limits in the right situation. He could easily lose $100K within an hour, and then win it back. It might not have been a straight counting situation, and I can appreciate that managers would (initially) have wanted him to continue.
Again, sunlight is the best disinfectant. So I think LVBear/BJ21 was wrong to bust a post. If the post mentioned real names or other sensitive information then maybe it deserved busting.
Finally, you need to read between the lines. One influential author mentioned playing craps for cover. He didn't mention an extraordinary comp deal, where craps was actually positive or breakeven. Silly readers actually emulated him without understanding the math.

Not in my dreams, just a persistent rumor in these parts borne from his skulking off after our dust-up.
