Again, thanks for making my point.

At the risk of calling out the obvious, thanks for making my point. It's not that I don't have a personal opinion, but in the absence of knowing what the opinion that ownership is safe enforcing, isn't it just best to encourage people to avoid such topics?

IT's very simple - if someone refuses to discuss with me in private and makes it clear that my authority is simply undeserving of respect, I ban them for a relatively short period. One day vs two days is about two things - one is that I am not entirely sure how the calendar works on the board...

You may find that there are still posts on that thread that discuss the impact of racism and issues on the players and fans. What I find dangerous is the line between talking about that and pontificating on the broader historical issues/politics of the region or talking about how China and...

She could just have leapfrogged him though. Needless drama...

I will be honest, between not understanding how timezones work on the board and rules being updated and being a point of contention, I could and should have handled that differently, though there were mitigating considerations. But these are things I will reflect on later or maybe depending on...

1. I am not a saint. 2. I am trying to defend myself and explain my position. This will always seem like finding excuses. 3. With what I did, was there a risk of Tony not wanting to come back after being banned for 2 days? Sure there was. Was that my desire or intent? Definitely not...

The video was never "sent to me", it was at best posted on the forum. Since you have the video, you can post it. I will not take it down.

MY position is not quite what you describe. It is possible that Andy is a psychopath but I don't think he is. I think (and I say this as a finance professional) he has identified something interesting about American business culture and lots of game strategy. Just about everything he did was...

Not at all, in fact, I made the request that we take the discussion private because we were arguing on the forum over a mistake I made in moderating a thread. I won't speak for Carl and how much time it took him to manage and handle Tony, but the *only* thing as a mod I ask people for is to...

You are right, I am actually a bit more cynical and have gone through this on various forums before, so I know what the endgame usually looks like. My intention was not to drive him away. And like I said, there are many reasonable solutions to this for people who are willing to discuss and...

I will note a few things. I never made beating Tony a priority until 1 month in August, where I felt I had a high number of posts and decided to see what would happen if I tried to do it (all in the name of fun). Tony also noticed and increased his volume of posting and brought attention...

Tony was banned for 48 hours by myself. I moderated a few posts in a thread discussing the XTWC and we disagreed over how they were being handled. I asked him to PM me or other moderators directly rather than make it a public issue on the forum or I would ban him and he refused to do so...

I likened you to the greatest contemporary TT coach of all time and all you can think about is that he used pips when he played? Come on lol.... You prefer Gozo Hao? Liu Gozozheng? Gozo Rosskopf? Coaches who used inverted but didn't win as much?

It's generally not hard enough for someone who likes to hit really hard. Everyone does it a little differently to be fair.

If we are looking for reasons to be excited about Japan vs China tomorrow, then we can note that Japan beat Germany 8-3 while China beat Germany 8-4. China beat Korea 8-0, Japan beat Korea 8-2. But will tomorrow's match be close or not? The funny thing is that we might get two matches in...

Hasn't table 1 always had commentary and table 2 none? Or do you mean something else?

Hayata-Togami vs Choi - Oh 6-2 to 6-11.... did they just stop playing?

The decisive factor is whether signing the athlete will lead to more sales and whether the cost of signing him is worth it in extra sales. Hugo would give them a stranglehold on marketing in South America and more broadly Pan America. When we look at it, they have Fan Zhendong, Harimoto, Qiu...

I dont know if this is any more than a conspiracy theory. But Fastow did time in jail, tried to help recoup some investors losses and just talks about the nature of why he initially thought what he did was defensible (it was approved by everyone he worked with, legal, auditors etc) and how his...
