I believe this belongs in the cheating and abuse. If it's that bad that you needed to post, next time post in cheating and abuse.

This doesn't appear to reach the level of discussion - why are you flaming me?

That wasn't even a spark. All I did was point out the obvious to the intentionally oblivious.

I second that.

TO: oVo and Woodruff

I think the original post in this thread is a flame under the current definition in the community guidelines. Instead of repeatedly citing ad-hominem fallacious arguments against xelabale, might I suggest you propose a change to the current definition of flaming in the community guidelines to ensure that threads like this one can no longer be classed as flames.

this guy has also played in enough games to know that the game was over. his excuse was that he had seen come backs before in our situation but i beg to differ. why people have a need to rub in a win, i will never know. all i wanted to do was finish the game and start a new one. it was rt, but he was the slowest rt player i ever played with too

anyway, just wanted to warn people about his cheap tactics play that had nothing to do with wining a game, but rubbing in the win....i dunno if it's just me, but i despise those people. they are a short step above people who cheat and use dupes

that's my bitching for today.... watch out for that guy d_cay. he's pretty high rank and unbelievably has a good rating....

Seconding a moot point? Stir an empty bucket as much as you like, the content remains the same.

The irony is palpable. Way to get all bent over OP's rant.

Precisely!

Further more, it's a rant, rant = flame, therefore the original post is a flame, end of argument.

Now move on, both of you. =;

What argument? You have yet to make a valid point.
A rant is not the equivalent of a flame.

Forum Guidelines wrote:Flames are posts or parts of posts which, directly or indirectly, insult, belittle, bully, name-call, or otherwise attack another user is not allowed.

Yes, we are liberal on course language, but this does not mean cyber-bullying is acceptable anywhere. You will be removed from the community for cyber-bullying.

Flaming will get your post edited/deleted and will get you a warning from a mod. Cyber-bullying will be removed, and an admin will probably come down on you like a ton of bricks.


Where is the discussion?

Since when is it ok to tell someone how they have to win? What you call rubbing in a win, someone else might call cautious play. I don't think it's fair to attack calkid if he attacks neutrals and secures bonuses before confronting you head-on. :roll:
