jdonn Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 FYI you don't have a right to frea speach here. You do however have a right to prove you don't know what a monopoly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 no wayyy :( Justin is right. The thread that was removed (at least temporarily) was done so for a lot of reasons, none of which had to do with MisterE speaking out against the BBO Monopoly. To be honest, other than some rambling about Lycos and BBO going their way, I had no idea he was attacking BBO. His suggestion was reviewed by uday, who in part agreed with him, and gave his opinion. You can still read uday's response in my comments about the removal of that thread at this link.... Public notice of the thread removal As you may note in that thread, I mentioned some additional (very mild) administrative action. The result of which was an inappropriate response aimed directly to me which I took offense at, so I exercised even additional "monopoly power", no doubt speeding BBO's path towards Lycos.

kenrexford Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 BBO is the Man? Wow. I mean, I have notice a one-world-government feel to BBO. All this smells like League of Nations or United Nations control of bridge playing, and stuff. When I found out about the monopoly, I started looking into things. Strange, but the name "Gitelman" is extremely curious. Apparently, Sir Gitell-Mann was a Prussian knight of the Templar movement who originally introduced monarchy-based playing cards in an attempt to entice the intelligencia into accepting monarchy that is patriarchal, except with the "Ace" being the top of the deck, not the bottom. Why? Well, the lowest shall lead? Obviously, this was a feigned monarchism in that the real control was the people, the lower classes. Hence, communism. However, this communism, a part of the very game of bridge (or "britisch," an old Russian game -- coincidence? coincidence? Red commies?), is a unifying of the "monarchy" with the leadership of the "Ace," the supreme one. Elevation of the least. What is, however, the "monarchy" in bridge? Well, notice that the "suits" determine which monarch appears to rule (but really is subservient to the Ace -- the least). The "suits" is an obvious reference to corporates. And, one "suit" rules, is trump. (Donald, anyone? Please -- so obvious.) Monopoly, derived from bidding. A corporate monarchy, decided by bidding between suits, with the least -- the Ace -- as the supposed head of everything. And yet, notice that "no trump" actually is highest. Why is that? Well, the templars, like Sir Gitell-Mann, are "no man." Hidden. Not seen. The real powers, whom not even the suits control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I could read some of it on general BBO dscussion, sounds like a smurf account of a young guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Is smurf the same as our use of gimmick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I believe so yes. Not sure of wha tis the correct english word, but I am sure to have heard smurf before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I believe we intend gimmick to mean fake, as if they don't want to reveal their identity but they want to be a nuisance or cause mischief. Though I suppose it could mean a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
