Bogan notes that those that care so much about what people think in public, are often jealous or resent those that don't care what people think. So we have a lot of bored people who rather than play the game, play politics having a massive circle jerk about how someone has "infringed" on the unwritten "norms" of acceptable behaviour(whilst still playing within the rules).
Any of you have the balls to challenge alster to games? Didn't think so. Did all of the invited players join the game? No, surprising since some of the moralising nimbies* seem to think if a higher ranked person invites someone lower ranked to a game it is putting a gun to their head.
So josko.ri invited me to a poly quads game, with settings I'm not that good at(am I good at any settings is a question not to be asked)........ Should I be starting a thread in general, flaming/naming/shaming him for inviting someone lower ranked to games?
I chose to join the game, but REMEMBER please most vocal nimbies, I had the option of declining the invite. At least my idle curiosity has been satisfied in one respect. Wondering why keefie and coffeeboy don't get along. Turns out is because they are both so similar.

NIMBY word of the day: August 06, 2008 in the urbandictionary.
1. Nimby - Not In My Back Yard; someone who opposes anything built right by where they live.
NIMBYs cause a lot of things to not get done.
2. Nimby - Used to describe a person or an attitude, NIMBY is an abbreviation for Not In My Back Yard. A NIMBY might agree that a community or a neigborhood needs a half-way house for convicts transitioning back to society, but doesn't want it placed too close to his or her own home or in the neighborhood. property values. too much traffic. ugly woobly boxes
Although the community council supported the zoning change, the NIMBYs argued strongly against the expansion of the trailer parkThat is the american version. In Australia a nimby is a special type of faux liberal pest. A mouthy hypocrite who preaches and extoles the value/justice of any on trend social justice issue. Gay rights/marriage, refugee resettlement, the environment, urban sprawl, etc. Happy to talk gay rights, would not want gays married in their church or local park(there are a lot of older people in the neighbourhood we must be sensitive to their feelings). The worst of hypocrite as they actively obstruct that which they profess to support. City dwellers who declaim bush fire hazard reduction strategies as interfering with nature, then deplore the tragic waste of lives, and property(especially if affects their share portfolio) when the inevitable bushfire rips through the surplus fuel... Preach compassion, yet own shares in morally bankrupt insurance companies and are active in voting/retaining hard line responsibility deniers onto the company board.
It's very regrettable that you start making personal attacks 
This entire thread has been a personal attack. The op has clearly stated this is what the thread is about. Get off the crack pipe. So it is ok to flame/bait alster, but not ok to draw attention to the fact that people are doing that? No rules have been broken. It is very regrettable that you have to much time on your hands and don't have the insight to link your sanctimonious commentary and peoples direct reaction to same. Maybe I'm reading you wrong, in which case I admire your irony.

My point is that nobody who is not friends with alstergren is condoning his actions, and nor do the people complaining have any personal vendetta with him, to the best of my knowledge.
Regarding your childish translation, I thought you knew me better than that mate. I don't care who's a mod and who isn't. I've had plenty of arguments with both. Should've been in live chat over the weekend.
This is entire thread is littered with people being completely disingenuous, two faced and total hypocrites
(with some exceptions like my clown mates, rhp 1 and a few others. So am completely on topic). My replies are in total accord with the spirit and tone of thread.
Live chat and this thread have a lot in common. Places where people with too much time on their hands, waste said time. Rather than play they gobble, cluck and say. For work reasons I need to keep game numbers under what I would like. However if I find myself straying into live chat for any other reason than spruiking a speed game awaiting players, then I know that I have a no mates problem. Your non point about no one not obviously friends with alster getting in here is symptomatic of the group think fail a lot of faux liberal kiddies are suffering from. People that think different baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, join our group hate goooooooooooooooooooooooood, use logic state no rules have been broken baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad etc. Also think you have failed to read some of the more recent posts....
Your capable of holding adult conversations I know, and not just about your continued love of the tele tubbies. In this thread I'm having the conversation with you that you deserve. So I guess I'm no longer getting an invite when you and keefie wed?

Have an adult conversation rather than a bait fest, and I may not be so childish. I reserve the right to relax by being as childish as I wish.
