A sad state of affairs.

I reallly like this site. In fact it's the only one I belong to, as I feel like there is a genuine common interest between a group of truly intellegent and classy people, that enjoy a game and a lifstyle that really is a luxury in life. I wish that sometime I could meet and play a few hands of Blackjack with virtually any or all of you as I'm sure it would be a great time, and a learning experience of a lifetime. I read and study all the posts and take alot away from all the commentary you all have to share. I guess I shouldn't let things like Bughouse master bother me, but alas, I too have a threshold for ignorance. I don't understand what anyone gains from such senseless garbage as calling names and swearing at someone on the internet. In the world we live in today with the needless pain in everyones life, from the actions of total strangers, it seems we should try to be civilized in our actions whenever we possibly can, as opposed to ruffling feathers just to hear ourselves talk. For God's sake can't we at least try to be decent, for the sake of the people that might want to share this site with their family or friends.

I raise my (unfortunately empty) glass to you Mike. Excellent observations.

But if I were, and I felt so unsatisfied with the situation I would not blow my top, I would simply find another, more suitable messege board to belong to. One that didn't make me so mad all the time. You're an intellegent person, obviously, but it's crazy to let things bother you to the extent that they do. It's just not healthy, my friend.

BTW, I believe the moderaters deserve praise for showing remarkable restraint through all this. I believe they've bent over backwards as far as second chances, etc. Well beyond my threshold. Guess that's why I'm not a mod :lol:

Now, let's get back to beating the house!
