All good, Shakedown. The CDHL has been part of my first foray into money leagues, and I was impressed with your devotion in setting up the league, managing the draft, and keeping us all updated and excited about the league.

You have your reasons for why you did what you did, and to be honest I could very well have done the same thing in your situation. What's important from this perspective is that you're making it right and we still have this fantastic league that you put together.

So thanks man, and get better.

I am not involved in any leagues with Shakedown (unless he's in the Dobber Pro League and I don't know about it ) but this is not what I am going to post about.

I have read the threads, the accusations, the responses and Shakedown's confession.

I applaud you Shake for owning up and admitting your wrong doings, that is the first step to making things right.

The Dobber community is a very special one, I know most of you by forum name, some by avatar and the rest by signature.

Shakedown was one of the first that I conversed with over 4 years ago and I consider him a respected member of this community. Just like I do with most of you.

Shakedown, take care of yourself now and in the future ....

Dobber Community, continue to be one of the most awesome forums on the internet. (If this kinda story appeared on one of my poker sites, Shakedown would have been electronically assassinated by now.) Proves how great this forum is.

For everyone else that reads this thread I have 2 quotes for you that I feel are beneficial to this situation.

"Happy people don't have the best of everything, happy people make the best of everything."

"You cannot heal a lifetime of pain overnight, be patient with yourself, it takes as long as it takes to heal yourself."

In the grand scheme of life, this situation is merely a speck of dust in the wind. Pretty soon that speck of dust will blow away and you'll forget you ever saw it in the first place.

Take care everyone.

Dave

Just saw this forum now....

I am really sorry I got caught up in "the evidence" against Shakedown and OldSkool. Really unlike me and I am very embarrassed that I participated.

My apologies to both Brandon and Jase. I hope you sort out the problems and join us on these forums and in our pools again. You are clearly respected.

I would be happy to help with a fundraiser too.
