well i think it's safe to say that you did imply *something* along those lines when you wrote,

"Keeping the riff-raff out will only improve the situation as those miscreants will either toe-the-line or leave, and good riddance to those that do."

what riff-raff to whom you would wish good riddance were they to leave did you have in mind?

So if you happen to disagree with a particular decision we make, please try to have a little sympathy for the position we are in before condemning our the actions that we decide to take.

sounds reasonable to me

Btw, Justin, just want you to know when I speak of "the arrogance of youth" I do not mean it in any way critical; It only seems to me that a degree of arrogance is a natural part of youth.

That's true and I think it's safe to say that Justin comes across way mature for a 19 year old! (and not that arrogant at all -- we're all losing it sometimes and this is an emotional issue for Justin after all)

[luke warm]

frankly, i'd prefer to (once again) be young enough to be arrogant... even so, i think winston might be a little offended if, in a thread about him, someone referred to the narrow-minded stoginess of old age

[Winstonm]

I only hope Justin took it the right way. We've met in person and played each other and I know he knows I like him. I also know that I was "way arrogant" at 19 and nowhere near as mature as Justin.

Old? Did you call me old, Jimmy????

DIRECTOR!!!

Bla-bla-bla - glad to see everyones all touchy-feely again.

Can we get back to the topic of BRIDGE? I got a star to earn and a national to win already

Let me give an example, there was a thread within this very form on an "unnatural" sex act that was crime in an Asian country.

Unnatural? We're not in Kansas now Dorothy.

Sorry to stick in here...

But if Brandal's is an accusation, Justin's post too is an attack to Rain (still making use of sophistry)...

Justin was simply plain wrong to post the complaint about Rain and all the moderation procedure.
We can forgive him because of his age, but the tone was plain angry and bitter and aggressive...

I do do think Justin is a cool guy, passionate for bridge and eager to share his golden suggestions with our community: I will never be able to thank him enough for this.


But this time, IMO, he went plain wrong: I can understand forgiving posts, but not supportive posts for that reaction.

Just because I like someone, it does not mean I will support him when he does something i feel wrong...

If you say so

It wasn't meant as an accusation

what riff-raff to whom you would wish good riddance were they to leave did you have in mind?

Not being shy about speaking my mind, the statement was very direct and to the point. Miscreants (villains, evil-doers or from the old french mécreants meaning wrong thinkers or heretics) MUST be removed or accept correction to remain. Just part of the rules. Justin's "self-imposed hiatus" of whatever length was not forced so he does not qualify under the above terms.

[jdonn]

I just want to have the 100th post in the thread. I need a cigar to celebrate.

[luis]

I just announced I'm not leaving the forums, I hope to reach 100 replies too, help me!

Haha

But the opposite of 100 (if there's one) is 001 so why would you want 100 posts?

needless to say mauro, i couldn't disagree more... and i'm still waiting for a quote showing this attack... you seem to be saying (you can correct me if i'm wrong) that the very fact that someone criticized rain's handling of the situation constitutes an attack on her...

there were many errors made on both sides, imo, but pointing that out hardly qualifies as an attack... for the record, the phrase "jimmy drank the beer" is, by definition, an accusation...

Justin claims Rain deletes posts as (s)he pleases,
he implies Rain doesn't do the job well (like ben and uday).

You call it critisize,I call it "attack",so be it,this is not
a big deal to me.

If you read my first responses,I don't think you can say
I accuse Justin of anything,but I think he is wrong(in my opinion)
