As a poker fan, I want to comment that I am really tired of all the ridiculous gossip. Playing golf with someone doesn't necessarily condone his or her actions or visa versa; rather, I imagine it implies that one simply is not judging the other. I think that many of the pros could learn an important lesson from Layne. None of the pros are perfect; I am sure that all have said and done things they wish they could take back. Naturally, some statements and actions are more hurtful than others; but really, who are you to be judging one another? I've heard and read many "interviews" in which pros will make a negative comment about other pros. Often, the pros making the negative comments about another pro's words or actions imply that the pro's words or actions somehow reflected negatively on the poker community in general (which, I imagine, makes them feel justified in making the negative comment). Well, (again) as a poker fan, I can honestly say that it's not the imperfections of the pros that is casting a negative light on the community; but, rather, it's all the petty gossip and pointing fingers.
