I'm glad this was resolved amicably, but for the record, I wasn't asked by you or by any of your teammates. Your friend called me a loser. I responded by saying something that was incorrect based on one turn that struck several of us as very odd. You then shouted five lines in all caps, at least three of which directly accused my friends and I of cheating. At no point did you inquire, express any equivocation on the matter, or even seem open to discussion on the matter.

That doesn't say "I am a reasonable person with an open mind willing to listen to rational arguments regarding a topic I'm curious about." There's no reason for anyone ever to respond to something like that because you're clearly holding pitchforks and torches. If that's how you want to call it, I'm genuinely cool with that. The people out there cheating (apparently there are plenty) deserve what they get, but I take minor issue with you categorizing what you did as "asking about it in chat."
BTW, great games to all of you. We saw the ranks and were intrigued, and apparently got more than we bargained for.
