alcaucin:The 'Sword of Damocles' cannot stop a post if we feel strongly enough though.
And isn't that the truth......funny though - I thought I would be sitting in the naughty corner a few times......then when I said something innocuous the sword fell. Perhaps a culmination of black marks......
alcaucin: There was an oft used saying about 5 years ago here.."I don't agree with what you say..but I'll fight for your right to say it"..Summat like that ;))

Ahhh these were the days, now the PC brigade are listened too......and we could never hurt anyones feelings could we?
Heck, you could even have a full on argument with a Mod back then......then there were the unbelievably dim people posting why is the game so difficult despite carding a 59 first game on the day they joined.......or what happened to their other accounts......
But players had fun as well, and were generous with helping others......good times.
Sure, lines are sometimes crossed, as in every sphere of life......isn;t that how we evolve? By pushing boundaries.........
That said, my behavior has changed......possibly for the better (if the Mods are looking.... definitely for the better).......I no longer respond to those single digit IQ posters......after all sarcasm is wasted on them......whoosh straight over their heads....
Perhaps WGT/TG also realize, that the forum is part of the allure for some players, take that away, they leave or play less.......Whether you speak Spanish, English, Greek, Russian or Japanese....money usually breaks those barriers lol.
Edit - To the OP, sorry for sidetracking the TG post......lol
