But if he wants to save his name, he may want to consider responding to commenters on his "blog" ... or even get a little personal and real. I mean this has got to be a trying situation for him ... would like to know a little more about what he knows and what he's thinking, that's all. We'll give him a little bit of time, sure, to sort through it all himself. But he should be asking himself what he will be saying about this matter five years from now. Also find it interesting that Brett Jungblut is one of the guys really calling him out on all this. He's seen at least one online site go bad before.

They don't monitor chat unless someone reports something, as far as I know. Who's gonna report on these people? The only ones I see getting banned possibly are the ones who rail Mark Seif. Some nasty stuff said tonight, while he was playing the 100K Guarantee at AP. As I write this, he is at the final table. I’d be surprised if anyone was chat-banned.
