today - 21.11. 2007 I responded to calls for subs. Tourney #1555 TD was BBO Polska Team. I was placed at the table and was to play contract as bidding was finished. I took my time as contract was silly. To my amazement I was kicked out from the table without a word of explanation. When I complained to TD he said : lol. When I complained again angrily, that he was rude to kick me out all he had to say was some bull about bad connection and that original player was back. I might have silly nick, but from a TD I would really expect some culture and good manners irrespectively of how silly the nick is. I want this TD repremanded and taught to : 1. thank the sub for coming 2. inform the sub of player being back 3. ask the sub to KINDLY vacate the seat 4. thank the sub for being good sport. I would like to know what action was taken (if any) If we are to expect good manners from players, people at the top must set high standards Best regards to ALL YOU HARD WORKING people to make this site the greatest site in the world.

Americans are lucky. They get to vote every 4 years and their votes count. If this protest was staged by burmese monks or even russians - I mean people who wanted to draw world's attention to the problem which was eating them up, and they simply coudn't do anything by ballot box or couldn't voice their disgust in their own country without being shot at or sent to proson - then I would have understood. But burmese monks or russians - once abroad, they just stay abroad :P When u represent your country - you get SPECIFIC mandate. Take it or shake it. :huh:

I propose to finesse intelligent design and squeeze evolution for what it's worth and see what happens ;)
