Vampyr Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I suspect that some form of masochism is ultimately to blame, but its hard to diagnosis this sort of thing over the internet... LOL no, I just want to ensure that as many people as possible know what you said. I'd sooner have people despise you than see you banned. As far as developing my own insults, I have no need to insult or swear at people. Well, perhaps that's not always true :) but I have sufficient command of English to insult people without resorting to calling them silly names. Or obscene ones.

hrothgar Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 LOL no, I just want to ensure that as many people as possible know what you said. I'd sooner have people despise you than see you banned. Interesting claim.Completely contradicted by your earlier statement "I was dismayed that "loathsome diseased cunt" was not considered ban-worthy."Interesting none-the-less FWIW, I suspect that most members of the forums were able to make up their mind regarding my posting sometime during the previous nice I've been posting here. However, i think we're learning a lot about you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarabin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I suppose if I had any sense I'd sit back and watch Vampyr self-destruct while trying to rewrite history. However I feel I should thank you that, apart from a few rather confused allegations, the coverage has been very fair. If anyone wants to act as a vigilante and clean up the forum then I suggest they concentrate on eradicating cyberbullying. I can cite evidence of this to anyone interested. I have no desire to continue my stouch with Vampyr but it's an understatement to say her vicious, unprovoked attack was no more than tactless.As regards my reaction let me tell you a story I find amusing. It concerns a dinner Winston Churchill attended at Lady Astor's home: "After dinner Lady Astor presided over the pouring of coffee. When Churchill came by, she glared and said "Winston, if I were your wife, I'd put poison in your coffee.""Nancy"Churchill replied to the acid-tongued woman,"If I were your husband. I'd drink it."."

inquiry Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 There was an attempt to start this above discussion up in a new thread with the same participants. I deleted that thread before it got going well. Like in a minute-to-win it, continued attempts might result in elimination. :rolleyes: One other random post the General Bridge Discussion's "relay system" was deleted as being a personal attack unrelated to the discussion in the thread.

inquiry Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 A thread where a new member accused another bbo member of being rude and a cheat, complete with screen shots presumably supporting both claims has been moved to a private part of the forum for review by abuse of the claims. Screen captures can be forged, but we do log chat so the evidence should be quick to check. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY to report such things. An email with the moved info sent to abuse is much more effective and doesn't violate our forum rules. The post may come back with the player identifications cut (delete the images) so the discussion by members of what is and is not appropriate to post can continue.

barmar Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 The post about the time allotted in Express Free tournaments not being sufficient was posted in both General BBO Discussion and Suggestions for the Software.

aguahombre Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Since I can't respond to the posted announcement, I will just vote with my feet and delete the group which is now on top. I sometimes like to browse that area, but it is more convenient not to than to navigate past it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshoe Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think barmar did a good thing - but then I close each of the general categories, so I only see the category name until I want to see the forums in it. And as barmar pointed out, this isn't primarily a bridge forum, it's primarily a bbo forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 And as barmar pointed out, this isn't primarily a bridge forum, it's primarily a bbo forum.Yeh, I would bet at least 5% of the time a person logs on to these fora so they can discuss the technical BBO stuff. Definitely make it quicker for them to find it without being bothered by Bridge, while annoying the rest of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sorry, this is pretty terrible and it makes no sense. But it's still better than the colour scheme so I don't suppose anything will be done with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
