Some strange posts in this thread. PAW is a network. having a rogue reflects on everyone in the network, from any particpating affiliates to other cardrooms. Not only is it valid for particpants in their network to offer their opinions on who should be included and who should not, it is plain stupid not to.
Absolute Poker is an open issue, but if PAW included the two prior rogue carddrooms, Propoker or Pokerspot, few sane cardrooms would choose to join the network, and many affiliates would choose not to be associated with a network that partners with rogues. Then of course players would, and should, hold it against anybody who knowingly directs them to rogues.
This is not a business for simpleton thinking. This AP issue could have all sorts of positive and/or negative repurcussions for the industry. After AP issues a final statement regarding this issue, PAW should decide whether to change AP's status in the network, and all members of the network should freely offer their opinions on what that should be.
For example, if AP were at this point to issue a statement saying "no cheating occured", that would be idiotic and disgrace them and disgrace anybody doing business with them, so of course it would be a good idea for PAW members to say "get rid of the idiots".
