Sklansky - a man of his word?

Mark B [Diputsur]
email recently sent to Brandi Hawbaker (RIP) from David Sklansky on
3/1 of this year... I'm including it in it's entirety here (in case some of
you
missed it - it's available on neverwin but may have been removed from
2+2 threads) but would first like to address a couple of his statements.
1) "Ply your trade elsewhere. Suicide wouldn't be a bad option either.
If you do that I will promise to stop badmouthing you."
Will he be a man of his word?
2) "The truth about me will make people -----uh nothing. They will still
buy my books and have interesting conversations with me."
I personally will never again purchase a book that has his name on its
cover, and I encourage others to skip over them as well. But if it's
interesting conversations he wants: dskl...@aol.com - He's on
AOL instant messenger all the time! Blow it up! Once again (in case
your viewers malform the addie: dsklansky at aol dot com! Why wait
for him to respond to forum posts on 2+2 when you can talk with him
in real time! Enjoy ;-)
3) "Notice that I am sending a copy of this email to Jenn. ... provide
her some enjoyment."
I'm sure it did at the time, but now the cunt is including herself as
someone
who loved her and needs time to heal?!? Feeling guilty perhaps?
And now, without further ado...

Subject: Now That My Anger Has Subsided

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am thinking better.
For instance I realize that "extortion" is the better word than "blackmail".
You are an extortionist. You threatened to hurt me if I didn't do something.
That is undeniable. Technically you are also a blackmailer because of your
$260 request. And there is little doubt you would have soon asked for a lot
more. But I don't want to use a word that you have an argument against.
So every poker player big, or small, that I know, I will tell that you are
an extrtionist. Who used the plight of a handicapped girl as your weapon.
They
will also meet her. So that it will be clear that the relationship is to her
benefit. And that you were not exposing a "wrong". I will also tell then
that you are a medicre poker player who will probably try to steal from
anyone
who stakes you. I will not ask card rooms to bar you. But they well might
just
do that to please me. Don't think my ignoring you on our site is anything
but acquiescing to Mat and Mason. Most of my waking momets are still
devoted to
you.
You on the other hand can tell people I am a creepy pervert. I can easily
show I'm not nearly as bad as you imply. And I can point out how
ridiculous it
is to call asking for a bikini picture immoral, but getting paid to watch
cocaine addicts jack off, isn't. In any case it doesn't matter. The truth
about
you will make people not stake you, not let you into their casinos, and not
write flattering articles about you. The truth about me will make people
-----uh nothing. They will still buy my books and have interesting
conversations
with me. They were never interested in my dick's activities anyway. You
on the
other hand will be left only with those guys who are trying to fuck you.
So you see that it is probably not neccessary for me to do anythig illegal
to make sure you get what you deserve. HOWEVER it is important to
understand
that you might be in such jeapardy without my knowledge. For instance you
know I have young friends, who have friends, who have friends who do nasty
things at the blink of an eye. Drive by shootings etc. To do something
like throw
some paint on a good dress would be nothing to them. If I ever told my
friends that your obsession with your looks means that you would be
appalled if
that happened to you once, let alone a dozen times, they might do that
behind my
back just to please me. Asking nothing in return They might even think I'd
like it better if it was acid rather than paint since that would mean people
would say "guess you can't talk about Sue now". I would never want them
to to
do that but you never know about those guys.
The reason I am telling you this is not because there is something you could
do to change things. There is nothing you can do either for me or to me. No,
the reason I am telling you is because the anticipation of wondering what
will happen is at least as bad as the act itself. You proved that to me
when you
put me through the anguish of worrying about Sue. Basically the only option
available is to leave the poker world forever. Ply your trade elsewhere.
Suicide wouldn't be a bad option either. If you do that I will promise to
stop
badmouthing you.
Notice that I am sending a copy of this email to Jenn. We have put her
through a lot so the least I could do was send her something that I know
will
provide her some enjoyment.

When combined with the way the guy presents himself publicly, along with his
rather lack-luster reputation as an intellectual, none of this surprises at
all. What were you expecting?
Omaholic
I think he's creepy, but I'm far from convinced that this email is his.
While it references a lot of details that were made public on the forums,
it's not consistent with his writing style.

Well, RGP isn't a binary newsgroup so I didn't think uploading
the catfucker pic here would have been appropriate. NWP
seemed the appropriate place for that kind of thing and
judging by the response (Hall of Fame nomination within
5 minutes of posting) I'd say it was well received.
If you're (JP) interested in starting a pissing contest on RGP
similar to your AIM tirades, I'd appreciate it if you did it
in a different thread rather than trying to hijack this one.
Better yet, why don't we extend your non-contact request
to RGP as well... I'd hate to see you embarrass yourself
here too.

Mark

Mark, I may be wrong about this, but I honestly thought that you, JP and
Morph were all kind of getting along and becoming friendly. I like you
Mark, Morphs a dick, but JP I have NEVER liked. Morph has proclaimed his
current dislike of JP and now so have you.
I probably missed something, but what happened? Inquiring minds want to
know.

Let's just say that we've finally had enough of JP's drunken nonsense and
the fact that he's a complete asshole via IM.

So?
Just because he might not beleive it doesn't mean he doesn't think she'd believe it and that his
making the claim would be an effective way to terrorize her.

This is a total FRAUD . I have known skalansky since 1978 and while he is arrogant and a bit 'self
absorbed' , he doesnt think as much of himself as this email suggests
I knew his first wife, and knew David during the 80's. tHEY WERE BOTH INSUFFERABLE ASSHOLES. He is
too smart to think that people would do anyone harm , 'just because they like him "
Fitrst of all.. not that many people like him .
And poker rooms would never preemptively ban anyone on his say so .
THIS IS A TOTAL FRAUD AND NOT WRITTEN BY DAVID!!

This is very interesting. If I was such a terrible person, why did Mark
continually (literally every day) invite me to Donkchat? If I was so
horrible, why did he invite me no less than 5 TIMES (jesus!) last night
alone?
Why did he *continue* to invite me when I gave him hints that I thought
you guys were all losers. "I don't really know if Donkchat is for me." And
on goes the invites.
Mark may be too stupid to take my hint, but was he stupid enough to
repeatedly invite someone that was apparently so universally hated?
You're full of shit Adam.

Well let's see, I'm not Mark, so I can't speak for him. But I can say
this: you're about the most annoying person I've had the displeasure of
chatting with on the internet. You make me long for the days when Zugie
filled up my screen with incessant nonsense. It was bad enough that if
Mark wasn't online you'd fill up my chat screen with whatever the hell
sort of retarded nonsense you could find, but when you're drunk, you are
just not pleasant to be around.
So in conclusion, I can't answer for Mark and why he invited you to chats,
and you're annoying. I'll repeat my last statement to you, please fuck
off. Thanks.

To consolidate windows?
I'm usually running in a game or two myself, have another rail or three
open, and donkeychat hiding in the corner... when other people start
popping up with private chats that's usually the first thing I do, try to
consolidate.

Because after you popped up on my screen to tell me how much of a
pussy I am (which can be viewed in the Pawloski's Playground thread)
I thought it might be fun to watch you embarrass yourself again in the
donkeychat. When it was obvious you wouldn't be accepting the invite
I figured a few more spread out in 5 second intervals might really tilt
the shit out of you... worked like a charm! LOL
Worth noting: I haven't initiated contact with you since your "Don't ever
talk to me again" request (to be honest, I can't recall ever initiating
contact
before that either, you *always* popped up on my screen first) I'm fine
with your request, but you seem to be having a problem with it!

Slow down speedfreak... I *stopped* sending invites after you said that...
we've had many rails/loans/private conversations outside of donkeychat
and I respected the fact that you knew you didn't play well with others...
I believe it was after the night you attacked Fell for absolutely no reason
that you made that claim, and the invites did stop. The last donkeychat
session you took part in was AT YOUR REQUEST!!!
I figured you had something you wanted to talk to Ron about, but you
chose to fuck with TNL instead! You started, they finished... I was
just a fly on the wall (I tend not to get involved when the shit starts
flying in there - it wasn't the first time, I'm sure it won't be the last)
> Mark may be too stupid to take my hint, but was he stupid enough to

I'm still waiting to find out what sent you over the edge with respect
to myself... to be honest, I can't think of anything I'd ever said that
would warrant the bullshit you've been spouting to me on AIM.

I'll say it again, go through your chat transcripts sometime when you're
sober... you know where to find me when you're ready to apologize ;-)
Until then, fuck off.

So you would beckon a horrible person on your alleged friends for your
convenience? You couldn't just tell me to go away? You sound like a
horrible person Mark!

Yeah, that's really worked. I had to leave the window open in the
background to stop you. Gosh, the inconvenience!

Complete bullshit. I wasreceiving at least one from you per night... many
times more than one, even after I dropped the hints you were too stupid to
pick up on.

You might be a pathological liar. You've repeated this mistruth 3 times so
far in this message.

I could debate the above, but I don't with to associate with someone like
you anymore. Into the killfile you go. Good luck with the whole
alcoholism thing.
