Andrew I completely agree w/ your comment. Something else that I’ve noticed is that both blogs on this site are so different in what comments are allowed. Every comment I’ve made here, on Rex’s blog, have shown up but some that I’ve made on Pam’s blog never did. They were not the most flattering comments, rather I pointed out some errors and observations I made about her articles, and I guess she didn’t want them to be shown. The ones I made which were flattering were approved, but the the ones that were critical in any way were never approved. I’ve discontinued commenting there b/c I don’t want my comments getting moderated in that matter. Personally, if she will only allow positive or flattering comments to be approved, then I’d rather not comment at all. Sorry Pam, but if you’re going to get paid to write and receive some criticism, use them to better your writing rather than ignore or write off as spam.

I suppose Rex could just approve positive comments like everyone else, but I’m glad that he doesn’t take the easy way out, and instead he allows his readers to express whatever opinion we have, regardless of whether it’s complimentary to him or not. He’s one of the few people that will fully allow all forms of criticism, and I really do respect that b/c it’s so rare.

Oh, I’m wearing an old pair of Levis, Nikes with no socks and a Neil Young concert tee shirt. Am I dressed well enough to read your column?

Rex never mentioned a conspiracy, he specified exactly what the situation was, and it makes sense. He had his vegasrex blog long before this casinoguide blog came about, and many of us were already his regular readers from there, as am I. I only read this website because of Rex’s blog. I don’t think this linking stuff has anything to do with casinoguide, but rather has everything to do with Rex and their jealousy toward him. Your comments here are prime examples.

Ted – Out of curiosity, I ran a search on Bing (ted newkirk las vegas) and the 2nd result that shows up is a comment you made here. You don’t like Rex, but you care about everything he says. I think his recent VR posts hit home and you hate it b/c it’s true. Admit it, you’re trying to generate interest in yourself via Rex right? You love it when you get a reaction here right? You crave the attention that you can’t get otherwise. I don’t blame you, a washed up guy like you gets desperate sometimes.

Rex – Throw the guy a bone, he’s really craving a response from you, lol!

For some reason, the guy posts something that is totally off topic. It was so off topic, I just skipped over looking at most of it. Because it wasn’t earth shattering at all. All I got from it (what I did look at) was pure jealousy and the appearance that Rex is impinging on your sacred computer nertnoid territory. I could care less about this I-was-here-first-nah-nah-nee-nah-nah childish crap. I’m sure a lot of others who looked at it thought the same. Dude, this ain’t the place, nor is it the forum for you to stand on your dumb soap box and spout off I’m-talkin’-apples-but-you’re-talkin’-oranges stuff. You come off like Charles Barkeley driving drunk on the Strip at 3 in the morning, pulling up alongside you and asking if you want a ride. It ain’t gonna happen. It don’t work.

And another thing that pisses me off about this, and no one has thought of it yet, but I’ll say it. It’s knuckleheads like you that post dumb stuff like that and it causes the person that started this blog to contemplate denying everyone the ability to make comments at all, shutting it off. It’s dudes like you that screw it up for the rest of us. There are other sites here in Vegas that have done just that. Removed the comments. Because of idiots like you that post blatherings like you just did. So, thanks, you imbecile. You’re only gonna screw it up for the rest of us that like to comment. Because enough of you clowns do stuff like that, and Rex will eventually just say the hell with it and turn the comments off.

Tell that computer nertnoid to go fornicate a sidewinder, Rex.

Is anyone interested in you Ted? Rex is by far the most influential blogger in this town and you know it. It’s so obvious that it eats at you. He has done far more in a shorter amount of time than anyone else and it’s not just his photos and videos which are the best, he’s the best writer in Las Vegas. On second thought, I think he is the best blogger period. The guy should write at a much higher level because he puts everyone else to shame. I haven’t seen as much diversity ever, in a single blog, by a single writer. Of course, I’m telling you things you already know. If a guy of your supposed stature is obsessing over Rex’s hair and shoes then I doubt he’ll respond to you because that alone speaks for itself. Btw, you can easily contact him by posting on his forums, anyone can actually, and he doesn’t moderate. You’ve got options, and you chose to post here. I’ve read some of his cease and desist mentionings on his private forum, but yes, he doesn’t mention it much, and that’s his prerogative.

For someone that doesn’t care for or know Rex much, you sure have strong opinions of the guy and make lots of assumptions.

Actually, neither Rex nor most of his blog readers seem to care much about the ME final table—-which was the whole gist of his posts about the WSOP. For cash game, recreational players, the WSOP is merely a slightly entertaining poker circus that makes for good games in the poker rooms around the city. But if ou had read the posts, you would know that.

Some of us just prefer the “rebel’s eye view”, if you will. To each his or her own.

And I would say that some of the inferences made in your post show…….let’s say poor judgment and a hell of a lot of assumption on your part, to say the least.
