Wow, I definitely don't know everything that is going on here, but I can't believe that you guys would lose advertising money from a book that has helped many posters here. You're doing this to be fair and balanced with this clown Intuition Bet? I think cooler heads need to prevail at the Rx.
What the hell is IB's affiliation with this site? There has to be SOME justification for allowing him to relentless berate a paid advertising(actually 3 or 4 paid advertisers, since he has bailed out all of you who sent your money to shit books)......not to mention a freaking mod here insinuating that IB was "the better man".
How much is it a year to advertise here? How about for 3 books under the same umbrella.
General, do you expect to have a job tomorrow?
There is either "something" going on here, or that was single stupidest thing that I've ever seen a forum mod say to an advertiser.

IB has no affiliation with The Rx. IB was told to stop his talking negatively about Royal or be suspended. As far as I have seen he did this(unless I missed it). Roberto still not satisfied is asking to be removed from the Rx even after seeing the warning to IB. I am not sure of the cost of ad dollars annually. Yes, I expect to be a moderator tomorrow. There is nothing more going on than you see. Roberto is asking to be removed and the request will be obliged.
Roberto is fine, IB is fine, the Rx is fine.
The ironic part is that we kiss an advertisers ass, we get smeared. We refuse to do so and the smear campaign is still there. It's called lose/lose.
There has been nothing but respect shared behind the scenes thus far and hopefully it remains that way.
This is between The Rx & Royal Sports.

Royal, 107 and GA are now off the site.
I am not sure what they achieved by pulling their campaign. Most bizarre.

BBDan, here's a VERY brief overview.....
IB has been harassing Royal\Roberto since early in the year.
Eventually, he was taken to court because of personal slander and defamation through his many posts.
The Curacao court ruled with Roberto.
IB continued to harass him\Royal on the Rx-despite them being aware of the court ruling....also despite the fact that Royal consisted of 3 paid advertising books here.
You explain it....

As a totally neutral and disinterested party who only got involved in posting in these threads because of the obvious venom and agenda of IB regarding Roberto and Royal (and I will be happy to verify to the mods who I am through a third party, so they will realize I have no agenda of my own here and never have)...
You blew it on this one, Rx.
You allowed a poster to go WAY over the line, repeatedly.
Roberto has hardly been wellbehaved, I certainly would not try to paint him out to be sterling or a saint either. However, YOU allowed the situation to get out of hand when it was one poster with a known agenda trashing the place.
Now that a court order has been made...I would like to say I am a better man than Roberto and would not have flung it back in his (and your) face..but I don't know that I am that man.
IB should have been taken seriously to task ages ago. You have lost a sponsor, someone who has helped bail out folks on this site, because you let a poster run his personal agenda wild all over the place.
Folks wonder why books go broke here all the time....
Time to wonder how "watchdogs" can make these kind of business decisions and keep on staying in business too.

Hey Dante,
I'm still working on the avatar thing for ya, there are some copyright issues that need to be resolved before we can proceed !
I am in the middle of a court thing about it as we speak.
Which reminds me has Intuition Bet made a public apology already ?
Please excuse my stupidity if he did and I happened to miss it
