Earlier today I replied in a thread by Dimeplayersonly regarding the Shrink and his relationship to Offshore advertisers at this site. I feel that both an apology and clarification is appropriate.

First, I would like to apologize directly to Ken, the General, and all of the moderators as I feel the words that I chose directly offended them and that was not my intention. Normally, I am careful when trying to discuss an issue, but in this case, I went too far and for that, I am deeply regretful.

The issue I was trying to address, but did so rather poorly, was that when the RX chooses to accept an Offshore Sportsbook as an advertiser, a fine line must be walked between the position of The Prescription in support of the new advertiser and being sure that the player's are fully informed and adequately protected and their trust not be jeopardized before any decision is made to deposit funds. Each of us is ultimately responsible for where we decide to post up funds. But we are all influenced in some manner by what we learn and read from sources we respect. In knowing that, our RX people of influence have a very important responsibility, which I believe they take seriously but are in a very difficult position and one not easily travelled. It is not unlike other positions in the working sector where many must sign "conflict of interest" forms as they work with companies they are vested in but must remain impartial in the decisions they make.

My words were chosen poorly and it was not my intention to imply that that Ken, The General, Wilheim, Dante, Journeyman, Fishead, Bucsfan or anyone else has done anything wrong. I am not personally aware of any such thing and certainly do not wish to imply any such thing either. It is with my deepest regrets that my words were chosen poorly and may have offended those above. I am deeply saddened by what I have done today. As I always do, I will sign off by wishing each and everyone of you all my best wishes and hope for your forgiveness.

My sincerest apologies...................Ted

Wish you the best also.

Ted I learned LONG ago not to follow to much the daily soaps on here at times as I believe very little of what I read on here anyway its just fiction for the most part like a big book opera that people like to follow along to

just keeping an eye on the forums looking for bashing ...so none was really needed sir...but your a very classy guy

No apology necessary Ted...I wasnt offended at all by what you said...Everyone has a right to their opinion, and as long as they can express it civilly (is that a word), then i can respect it....I may not agree, but i can certainly respect....You have to learn being a mod, or even being a poster, that you cant get too upset by what some people say...I mean when u have the village idiot running around spreading "blatant lies" about you to whichever forum will condone his idiocy that week, you pretty much learn to not care.....I mean a person could come on here telling you the sky is purple, and there would be a few followers that would agree with it....You pretty much have to learn to read between the lines, and most of all, be responsible for your own decisions, basically use the forums as a tool to help "make that decision"....Thats why i think all forums can actually be of value, not just the rx.....You just have to weed through the "soap operas" and the "agenda driven posters" to find the info.........

You have always been an honest poster, and an intelligent one from what i have seen, so I respect what you say, and your right to say it...

Take Care...
