helene_t Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yesterday I accidentally insulted opps, and since I thought it is the hight of ethics to call the director on your own infractions, I shouted: Director, I am insulting the opponents! Then one of the opponents said that it was condoned because I just said he was stupid which was a fact. The other opp shouted "Helene, stop seeking attention!" What would you rule?

y66 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Didn't you mean to say "No On-Topic posts please"? This sounds like constructive criticism to me. The ability to give and receive constructive criticism is incredibly useful imo -- in life and in bridge -- and therefore off-topic in this thread.

mohitz Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Experts make the most mistakes because when intermediates make mistakes they are actually making their normal plays.

Winstonm Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Many years ago (early 1970s) an angry chap at a midwest regional bridge tournament called his overtly gay opponent "a lousy cocksucker". His opponent immediately summoned the director and complained loud and long - about the use of the adjective "lousy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y66 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 We're going over to my folks' house for dinner tomorrow afternoon. It seems like Sunday afternoon dinners were somewhat traditional when I was growing up but they are rare events now. When my wife and I drove around France a few years ago it seemed like Sunday afternoon family dinners were still going strong. I love that ... and all the craziness that goes with it ... like the WC without the food and the intervening 6 days of other types of craziness.
