Default What happened to Balletto, Oracle80, Ect.
What happened to the real players from the begining of this board? Balletto, Oracle, Repent, Eurobounce, Joel Cunningham and others? We all know why Blockhead's not here, He was very unstable, but the others were a big part of this board and I want them back. I would gladly trade one BTW for the others.

everyone contributed to the board in their own way. one person's way isnt better than anothers. it is just fun. but once it was time to handicap the board was at its best. Oracle did give us cotton blossom

All within reason. They were productive members of this group. Don't mean to start crap if that's what you mean.

I am sure this is innocent enough. 2Hot wanted to know what happened to them. Well I must say, I've missed a thread or two that were then obviously deleted for due cause. That doesn't mean i didn't have to ask the group to let me know what had happened to someone. I'll just say that I am sure they are either gone for good cause or chose to leave. I think the site and most of us are great. Let's have fun and not think anyone is calling anyone out.

Then I have decidedly different taste than you.

If that is true, then that would make him just about the last person I would want on a forum I was reading and/or contributing to. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer folks who mean what they write/say.

I had no problem with any of the above listed, either. Joel and I are good friends and I still talk to Mike.

Seriously. BTW's posts on trip handicapping last week were the most informative I've read on the subject and something he definitely didn't have to share with us.

some of those board members were not banned, they have chosen not to come and play right now. oracle will be back someday, maybe--that's up to him. i believe joel is also one who chose to take his ball and go home.

as for some of the others, such as repent and balletto-they pretty much ignored or broke every rule that everyone must follow.

it's not as tho anyone is banned at the first sign of trouble. there are warnings, benchings, etc. it's not like the sword of damocles just suddenly fell down on them without warning.
