Where the bunnies get burned--UPDATED

by Otis

(Updated below)

I'm not one to add fuel to a fire. That said, I consider Terrence Chan a friend. The only thing I hate more than being accused of something I didn't do is watching someone try to attack a friend. Fortunately, Terrence doesn't need my support, as every right-thinking person in the poker world seems to be rallying around him. So, rather than add my worthless two cents, I'd just enourage you to read the following (you really should read them in order) and be sure to read the comments.

The best defense to this kind of stuff is little more than making sure everyone knows about it. A little awareness about people goes a long way.

Oh, and if I haven't already piqued your interest, try this quote:

"Remember one thing, Terrence, you're not Johnny Chan, you're Terrence Chan."

Overnight, while I was at a poker game, Terrence had some interesting updates about some conciliatory calls froms the princpals in this story. And then, Iggy went to work on the story and is posting the...other side of the story. My favorite line...

"thank you for seeing that i am being the scapegoat, it makes it a little easier to take ;-)"
