To: Willie Bee who thinks I've not conducted myself appropriately.

I believe the term Deuce employed was dikk boy when referring to me. And that's fine as these forums are a conduit for expression whether that be thoughtful and articulate or boorish and gutteral. However, if I am going to bear the brunt of someone's reckless and rather dim comment, I will not play the nail to his or her hammer. I will issue a visceral response without the vulgarities or profanities often found here and in other forums. If my use of the phrase "bed wetting pansy" has caused you to wag your finger at me, may I submit I think it's fair to say we've all had bladder control issues from time time only Deuce probably has them more often than most.
As far as my responsibility vis a vis Caribsports and the code of conduct you feel I should abide by, you do have a point. Unfortunately, your hair is covering it. No, I'm just kidding, although I do love that line! To address your comment directly, I am an entertainment personality. My job is to either drive traffic to the site or hopefully keep the traffic coming via my podcast. I am not one of these loudmouth (check that, I can be loud) , pretentious cretins who extoll the virtues of their powers of prognostication and guarantee that which cannot be guaranteed. I do my research, isolate a game or two I believe have the best chance of winning and make a declaration predicated on nothing more than statisitics and intuition. However, what makes my podcast unique is that I attempt to inject a bit of levity and humor into each podcast. Also, I own up to the losses instead of focusing exclusively on my successes. Therefore, if you believe I am supposed to roam these forums and conduct myself like I am the Customer Care Representative from Wal-Mart, I am sorry to disabuse you of that notion. Consider me toiling in the same capacity as that of a radio personality for Entercom or CBS. He has a distinctly different persona than the Vice President of Communications. He can be irreverent, satirical and indeed sometimes callous. That is his job. Although that is not primarily my job, I reserve the right and shall maintain license to defend myself against low brow knuckle draggers that pejoratively refer to me as "dikk boy." Now if he had said "Dikk man", well, all would be forgiven.
