First and foremost, I need to apologize to the players for my temporary inability to address the issues to be discussed here, in a proper manner until now. I have been very busy implementing my frameworks for SBR, a company that is growing at a very accelerated pace and that requires of sustained growth, due to the fact that we work following the principles of disruptive innovation.
Secondly, I need to make the following statement; redundant, I must admit, but yet strikingly absolute:
***** The open discussion of legitimate issues in a forum is not recommended under any given circumstance. The fact of the matter is this type of discussion is very likely to end up carrying pernicious effects; not only to me or Russ, but to this industry as a whole. Furthermore, the nature of these discussions is intrinsically futile, as no factual result is ever achieved. Why not? I believe -statistically speaking- that it has been proven that the grounds of RATIONAL and INTELLIGENT debate are not attainable in these forums; due mainly to the many hidden agendas and vested interests of the parts involved.. Word of advice to the square...(like there are any squares here...: the critical mass of MajorWager.com is mostly originated by the traffic generated in these conversation forums. Posters will be held responsible for their posts, but there are various “respected” posters that do not possess the comprehension of rational debate*****
Russ Hawkins;
Too long have I remained silent and stoic, in pursuit of a avoiding a fight.
But make no mistake, I can fight... actually, I AM built for the kill.
You have persistently provoked me; you have no valid reason whatsoever to attempting to tarnish my reputation. You have started this, now let's deal with it.
And listen, candy ass; when you throw a punch, you better have a defense technique or you will end up being slain.
If you have the courage to discuss with me, make sure your supporters remain silent and factual or rest assured measures will be taken to expose you as much as it's needed.
These are my formal requests:
1. The SEARCH function shall not be altered in any way. I claim my right to have free access to all the information contained in the archives of the forums owned by Major Wager, just like any other poster of these boards.
2. Roberto Castiglioni is invited to participate of this discussion and he must understand this is no form part of a ludic self-promotion campaign. He must remain factual for once.
3. All parts involved in this discussion must be identified by name and last name. My name is William Gatten. I expect personal accountability; otherwise, this discussion will never take place with posters that refuse to abide by this accountability.
4. This post is the introductory part of a LIVE investigation, which will be published in form of a thread such like this one in www.therxforum.com and www.offshoregamblersdigest.com. As long as profanity is not involved in this discussion, all posts shall stand unedited. I propose the elimination of all the names of people involved in this muddy mess as 3rd parties. They shall not pay the price of stupidity. It is a fact that federal agents are fond of reading these forums; it’s their reality show version of the Sopranos.
5. The poster known as raiders72100 has offered to host a chat session on this website: www.offshoregamblersdigest.com. This chat session has been scheduled for tomorrow Wednesday, June the 3rd at 20:00 EST. I offer the following link as a reference:Chat @ OGD
6. I request the services of clevfan, as an investigative aid. The searches performed by clevfan will exclusively take place here in Major Wager. Clevfan is a very talented woman, a personal friend and a professional on her field of expertise. However, I understand is not her obligation to do so if she refuses to do this.
7. I must state I have the utmost respect for Minnow, TTinCO and clevfan; all of them part of Major Wager staff. 3 people I have grown friends with and who are professionals on their fields. (just for the public records…)
My ultimate intention is to prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that every statement made by Russ Hawkins a.k.a The Major regarding my persona, are slanderous posts and fallacies or lies. I will further attempt to offer an explanation as of why he has resorted to this smear campaign.
Tonight I will begin my investigation. Tomorrow night Russ Hawkins, Roberto Castiglioni and Christopher Costigan are invited to discuss one and all issues regarding my persona and my work related to the offshore wagering industry in the chat offered as a professional courtesy by www.offshoregamblersdigest.com.
