Ken I know there is a ton of pressure on you. Especially when wil posts flattering remarks like you are the man, the myth and the legend. Is that how you become a mod? But I digress. Ken, take some time off. Your sharpness and business decisions and posts have slipped in recent weeks. I am sure with some well deserved time off you will become the old SHRINK, full of energy and drive. We all wear down in this business, everybody. Take that well deserved break and comeback to the forum, and rebuild some respect lost. I honestly wish you the best...OF
i can understand why you are taking a break, like someone said earlier, damned if you do, damned if you don't....It would get old...
I wonder sometimes the few posters that are here, and criticize every single thing about the rx, yet they are here all the time, what does that say about them? they hate this place, accuse the rx of being crooks, trying to hide stuff from posters, etc, yet they hang out here, pretty sad...if i really believed those things, i would stay away....funny how some brag about where they "do" hang out, and how they are perfect there, etc, yet they email us weekly asking to come back here....must not be all they thought it would be there....guess it gets old spending all day trying to come up with new ways to bash one person, and new "ghosts" to try and do it.....amazing that someone can have their life consumed by one person, (over the net).....
I would say 95% of the posters here are good people, and have a lot to share, and that makes it more than worth it for me...the other 5 % are obvious in what they are trying to do...most are minions sent over to try and start problems, amazing their isnt enough at their site to keep them entertained....
No one is perfect, and posters have every right to point out mistakes, and question them, however u can usually tell by how it is approached or asked, whether they are really wanting to learn and help solve a problem, or just wanting to take advantage and try to get in some shots....amazing how many of the critiques always come from posters with 30 or less posts, yet they always claim to know "how things work" here, etc....those are the funniest....more little minions sent across the fence......
I would think a better way to make your site better would be to improve what you do, not try and lessen the others around to , to make you look better, but to each his own.....I am sure some of these bashers who HATE THE RX, AND KEN, will still be there to enjoy the free rooms, and free food, will be funny to see....Heck they have no choice, they gonna wait for "their" bash....6 posters at a motel 6 burning pix of ken, and listening to a Vanilla Ice Cd being played out of a boombox with a coathanger for the antenna, playing penny-ante poker, and drinking kessler's out of motel plastic cups....wow, what a bash...
for the hundreds, and hundreds, of great posters we have here, thank you for all your contributions, and your support, we know who you are, and truely appreciate you every day, and if we can be of any help, that is what we are here for.......for every poster we help, we can ignore the other 2 saying "we were on the grassy Knoll".....thats what makes it worth it....
And we plan to get bigger and better...
Ken will be missed during his hiatus, and the place will be more boring without him, but he wont be gone long, its in his blood, and no amount of "haters" can change that.....
Take care, and i look forward to meeting many of you in Vegas, especially the "quality" posters that share so much here....
Take care, and be safe...

There is some implicit schizophrenia in running this site I must say. On the one hand you want to help players win with advice, tips, inside info. etc., but on the other hand you need players to keep losing so sportsbooks will have enough money to keep paying the bills which pay salaries etc.
I'm surprised that some people do NOT go nuts in an environment like this

Good point Judge. Spoke to the Shrink today. He stated that he just needs a break. He did say that he was a little bummed out about how everyone goes off on him when he f..ks up, but that he really never gets anything near the praise to equal the criticism when he does something good. I must admit that IMO he does more good than he gets credit for. Enjoy your day Judge. You DA Man!
