Well.... For arguments sake...... Why associate it with the 2nd part of the title and not the 3rd?More "depends on what the definition of is, is" bullshit. Do you parse words into something other than their clearly intended meaning for a living or just for fun and defending your pals?
Rich guys, little gals, and big money.......? Maybe, Like I have been saying, it was a play on the "Whale Wars" thread...... But the fact that it was almost immediately derailed and focused on that single precieved slant, will not let us know what the true nature of the thread was to be....

You can say what you want about increasing membership, but the silent majority here would choose an alternative with less drama if given a viable alternative. I don't personally give a damn enough to stomp my feet and swear off this place, but I would gladly pursue a better policed alternative. Actually, I would not even care if you just wanted to do away with any rules, guidelines, etc.. Admit that it is a free for all for some with rules applying if you want them to and I would not object at all. The annoying part is those spewing that line of crap about how some people here are just such geniuses that they walk a fine line. That is bullshit. This isn't a court of law. Those gray areas you cling to exist only because you let them. The idiots in question are bullshit artists, not geniuses. Chess players? Oh, please. They fancy themselves chess champions because they play either even more ill-equipped people or an opponent who was forced to play without a queen because it is in your pocket.
Reading the drama was fun for a while and then it wasn't. Poking the offending morons in the eye was fun for a while and it, too, got boring. So now I don't venture in as often and will eventually join the inevitable migration elsewhere.
Never had a point or been banned here before, but I suspect that is changing soon! Have a great day all... Originally Posted by tracer

I never have claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed.....But I'm not the dullest either.....
Maybe my screen output differs from yours. Would you do the courtesy of showing me where I said ivan is your friend? Seems to be missing for me. Or did you not understand that my not saying ivan is your friend is not the same as saying you have none?

So you're "poking of the offenders" is the just side of things is it? Or does it just make you the same of a different brand "offender"? You can't speak out about this group of people and then follow suit on the other side of it and be ok with it........ Or maybe you can....
You are not as bright as I thought if you cannot see the distinction. More definition of is bullshit.
That it is YOU going after them and not them going after someone else? Sure... but then again, we're splitting hairs aren't we? If its wrong for one side, is it then not wrong for the other? Or when you do it are you more justified because you have deemed them "Bad people"? Seems as bad an argument as they have really......
Also, very glad to know that you speak for all of the silent majority.... I was hoping they would chime in here.....
Again, apparently my screen is failing me again. I am missing the part where I claimed to speak for the silent majority. I allude to its existence, but in no way claim to speak for it. Sorry for the confusion, I understand some of these concepts are difficult.You can say what you want about increasing membership, but the silent majority here would choose an alternative with less drama if given a viable alternative.
