QT, if you got a problem with me, say it.(posted 9259 days ago)>LAST TIME I LOOKED, Twit is not a profane word. And it applied to your position, not you.
I don't have aproblem with you, Chris. I have a problem with your attitude when posting. No, twit is not profane. Yes it is rude. Calling someone a twit is a rude statement to any English-speaker. If you want to call me misinformed, fine. If you want to say I'm wrong, that's fine too, but don't do so in all-caps either.
>Second, the "cross-post" was exactly relevant, as someone was complaining about normal tourney being boring, so I suggested.
Your post had nothing to do with the topic at hand, ie: Tourney 5 analysis and congrats. What you had to say was better said in a private e-mail to BBH. Not that it matters much, as I'm sure everyone will agree, but if it was only directed to BBH, why did the whole list of Bulletin Board users need to get msg'd about it?
>Third, you must have had your head buried, as we had a long debate on this topic a while back! I search in my mind to see where it was from.
Here's the rudeness back again, and why? To tell me that I'm worng about something that you still can't remember? That's not what I call an effective argument. As I recall, no consensus was reached, but the topics of Relief Pitcher and Touch Down Fever were breached.
>I propose if you still want to stick with your ruling, QT, that we put it to a vote here and now to see what should be done. Is that acceptable?
To be perfectly honest, right now, no it isn't. There has been almost no discussion recently on the issue, so most players aren't aware if the rule would be binding to all sports games or just specific ones. Secondly, it isn't MY ruling, it's a general rule for MARP. Third, if the ruling does pass, that's ANOTHER subset of rules at MARP, with likely ANOTHER page that people need to read. Now, I am in the process of building a special scoring page, which would explain strange scoring systmes on games, and a sports games ruling could fit easily on that page. But that's another page on the MARP server that chances are noone will read. That's another problem that the community needs to solve. There are definitely some players who are starting to grumble 'too many rules', and so, to be honest, I'm loathe to post anything resembling a vote lately on MARP. For this, I accept my fair share of responsibility for my role, but I do think we have squashed most of the bugs that had cropped up 10 months ago at MARP.
And Chris, as a MARPer to a fellow MARPer, if you respond to everything on this board that you disagree to with absolute vehemence or high-handed arrogance, people are going to quit listening to you. I'm sorry if this offends you, but I'm not trying to be impolite. I think you shoud have a read over your last few posts, and your other posts to the message board before that, and seriously reconsider how you approach posting on this board. Absolutism is not the best process for convincing people of your moral right.
Sincerely, Q.T.Quazar
