What happened to the beer and poker thread. eh? EH?
AMRN:
Just read the B&SW thread - comments from a few (not all) posters are unfounded and out of order, and might even go as far as being slanderous. At the end of the day, if you people see APAT in such a negative light, just stay away from the APAT events - it"s not like you"ll be missed.
Should we also assume that as the B&SW forum thinks that APAT is run by nazis, you won"t be defending your APAT team title this year?
It"s a shame you can"t all be as reasonable as Noe was in her response.

Do I take it from the inferences that Noe has been banned for a year, and Scouse one event?

In doing so found some remarks on the Bristol & South West Poker Group that to me were more offensive and disgusting than anything that happened on saturday.

Absolutely - and they are talking about boycotting APAT. Good riddance, if that is what they are like, though there was some dissent on their forum to what was being said.

That is what it has said on the Bristol, etc forum since yesterday. APAT wasn"t going to ban Scouse but he talked them into it to avoid all the drinks he would have to buy.

I think the problem here is that most people agree that there was an issue on some level but disagree with the time it took to apply any penalty.
The reasoning being "If it were that bad why didn"t someone do something about it at the time". Therefore people assume it can"t have been that bad as it wasn"t dealt with at the time.
I"m guessing that APAT (and I"m certainly not speaking on their behalf) wanted to be seen to be as fair as possible and give Noe as much chance as they could. I"m sure the last thign they wanted was to ban someone from the comp. In hindsight I don"t think she was in any state to take advice at the time, so their help and suggestions probably fell on deaf ears.
It"s a difficult one to call, certainly at Wimbledon a late line call causes more consternation that a speedy one. It doesn"t mean it"s wrong though.
If Noe and APAT have made their peace and are happy so be it and I do think that comments on another forum calling APAT Nazis is uncalled for.
As far as I can see Noe is upset as all she has wanted to do is fit in and she is eliciting sympathy from other forum users. I think getting drunk and making a spectacle of yourself is a strange way of trying to fit in.
