Gees Rich/Sean (and like peas in a pod, you two even write in a similar way)
This is the sort of thing my 4 year old would do when he didn't get his way.
Just because some people may not agree with what he (or anyone says) is no reason to stop posting. If it isn't pouting, it sure is having a tantrum about nothing.
Many people do not like that I can be blunt and will argue back - that is fine with me and part of what a forum is about. Players can then read all views and formulate their own opinions (often there is no right answer in life, just different ways to get there).
Rich is a part of this community, and nothing will change that, and like most of us, I am proud he has been....and will continue to do so.
Perhaps he has burned out judging by his posting of late, which contrary to his words, has been tinged with negativty.
Take some time off, do not log onto WGT for a week and see how you feel. If the game and now the community gets you down, then that is probably the best thing you can do.
Edit: I have seen you say in the past you just log on sometimes to get your consecutive days - IMHO this is the wrong reason for logging on, it should be to enjoy, not to be a slave to a game.
