Would be interested in members’ views if there is any mileage in pursuing the issue below with BBO’s disciplinary process. Playing in Acol Casual Bridge,you hold 10xx,KJxxxx,x,10xx,game all. First in hand with a new partner whose limited system details says weak NT and strong 2s. You pass and hear 3D on your left. 3H says pard,5D on your right. It’s not a bidding challenge question ,but what do you bid? Rightly or wrongly you opt for 5H,back to the man on your right who doubles. AC lead and on BBO you now see your partner’s hand who is Declarer= 9xxxx,AQx,Ax,QJx.They misdefend and we get out for menus 800( they make 5D as a point of information). I received a torrent of abuse from partner,including imbecile and idiot.He said he would be leaving the table as he did not wish to play any more with such an idiot. Having left the table, ten minutes or so later he then sent me a private message on lines of “have you made any more 4point bids,you idiot.” I have been playing bridge for nearly 60 years and understand that there are a few not so pleasant people around.Personally,his remarks do not upset me but it is not within the spirit of the game. OK,my bid may well have been gross but there is still a standard of decent manners to follow. Any views?
