Hey Sweetie, I told you I had an idea and when I went to see where your email was in my shouts, I could not find it!

Give me a shout and put your email in it again and I'll write you and bring you up to speed.

Gracias! Sí, nací en Inglaterra y me ensenó bien mi mamá. Ahora vivo en los EE UU, y aquí no hablen correctamente el inglés. No me importa, pero a veces me gusta escuchar a las personas que hablan en la manera como mi mamá me enseñó ¡Me parece que es un manera mejor! ja ja ja

Oh si, espero que le vaya bien con el dentista. Yo también estoy un poco ocupado con trabajo y construyo una casa en el tiempo libre.

Sobre la tema de la prohibición de apostar en la muerte: me dijeron que la empresa pierde oportunidades de negocios con ese clase de pregunta. Por eso, creen que su regla nueva benefician todos, aunque desafortunamente no todos están de acuerdo.

If I get banned here it's only going to be because I chose that path.

No, we can fight smart and drive their administrators up the walls in other ways. There's always more than one way to skin a cat....

Thanks, Amigo...united we stand.

I am going to track down your email address (i think you put it on my shouts) and write you a letter later today to run an idea by you.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Are you aware they have banned us from creating questions with death markets? I've noticed that's where you do some of your best work so I am hoping you will come to the forum and post your thoughts on how stupid a policy this is for a news site.

http://www.hubdub.com/e/Topic/Death_markets_now_banned_400

Also, the owners Nigel and Lesley do not read comments so if you can email them telling them you oppose this new policy because it SUCKS, I'd really appreciate it.

nigel@hubdub.com
lesley@hubdub.com

This site will NOT be the same under this kind of censorship. Please stand up and let them know you oppose this action!

As for me, I am going to NOT be creating questions until they change this policy. They rely on people like us to make questions....they make this site much more restrictive and it's going to be very dull here.

They need us and we need YOU to help us, balcacer.

I sympathize and empathize with you completely. I spend a lot of time arguing with hubdub officials over frequent unfair voids and suspensions...Twice in the last month I have "taken a break" from hubdub because I have become overly frustrated with these voids and suspensions and hubdub ceases to become fun...

Again, you did a "great thing" today, and I am very proud of you both for setting a good example for all of us. You're on my list as one of the "good guys"!

One answer to your question is that I DON'T write questions on hubdub and get involved with question problems (if I can avoid it). Actually, I get involved anyway.

You have a knack for writing good questions, and I enjoy betting on your predictions!

SO glad we're okay again.

I really am sorry about it all and especially at such a difficult time for you.

Sometimes these things make a friendship stronger though.. (looking for a silver lining here ) : )

I will use this experience to take a better look at myself and try to improve where I can, as I am aware there is much room for this.

FINALLY, I GET SOMETIMES NEWS ABOUT MY QUESTION BY THE EDITOR'S. IF IT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFY OR ELSE. AS OTHERS DO.
IN THIS QUESTION ABOUT THE IDF, I COULDN'T BE ALL THE TIME SEARCHING FOR THIS Q'S, AND BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECIEVE A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR A GUESS IT WAS OK.


I DEMAND FULL EXPLANATION ABOUT THE F WORD YOU SEND TO MY E MAIL, MUST BE THAT YOU ARE AN INSIDER IN HUBDUB.
IF THAT'S THE CASE, YOU CAN ERASE ALL PROFITS AND VOID AT YOUR WISH ANY Q'S.

YOU COULD REACH ME AT MY E MAIL FOR CLARIFICATION...

HAVE A NICE AFTERNOON

ME ? BACK TO WORK

My condolences for the loss of your Uncle, balcacer...no need to send me the obituary....my issue isn't that you were gone yesterday.

My issue is that you left us hanging over a WEEK ago on that q.

You claim you responded on my site but there is no evidence that you did or I'm missing something somewhere. I contacted you about 10-12 days ago over this ambiguity with that Q.

The proper thing to do would have been to go to your Q and answer us there....it wasn't just me seeking your input.

The cat admin has even said you were not responding.

Why would I make this shit up?

Thanks so much for NOT coming over to your IDF soldier death Q to clarify your terms.
I don't know what your excuse is, but I think it was pretty lame to let everyone rely on a faulty opinion of an administrator who wasn't in that category.
I had thousands tied up in that worthless market for quite some time and am only fortunate to have had it refunded based on your lack of participation in your own Q.
You ignoring this only tells me I should be extremely wary of betting your Q's in the future.
At least I try to moniter my Q's and see that nobody's getting pimped and clarification and settlement comes as quickly as possible.
You....you just create them and leave them...that stinks.

WATS with you and death questions

Hey,

Can you trot over to your Q on the Israeli death toll by settlement date, read the commentary and give us YOUR clarification per your intent?

It says something like ' due to assault in Gaza ' and the fighting is 'officially' over now, but another IDF guy just bought the farm and we'd like to know if his and any future deaths qualify towards the total number.

We flagged an admin over 8 hours ago but it can take up to 48 hours to get a response and the death toll is now either 10 or 11 depending on what you say, which makes it a choice between 2 options.

Thanks,
C2R

Hi

I just received a flag on this market you created: http://www.hubdub.com/m29977/Kentucky_football_coach_indicted_in_prep_players_death_what_is_the_future_for_him_

I think we need an option for the Coach doing a plea deal, or would you like me to add into the options that a plea deal would count as guilty?

Regards,
Ryan

Hi Friend!

I like your questions and we are glad to have you on hubdub! I spend a lot of time on hubdub because I have a lot of extra time at the moment. It eventually takes a lot of work to keep up a large hubdub portfolio. (That's one way to make the money). If you send me your email address, I have a couple of ideas for you.

I presume that you are from the Dominican Republic?

Welcome to Hubdub. If my challenges get to be too much, please just decline them. You'll receive a lot during baseball season, otherwise they will mostly be about current events, gas prices and the total scores during each week of the football season. Again...Welcome!
