Bah haha haha! I'm happy to hear that you use the same strategy I do, quote the post so it is kept for posterity reasons. We don't want this goodness erased later on. Rep'd!

It is not that I don't stand by my words, but that I felt they didn't need to stand for all the world to see and should have been direct messages to the players I felt encourage "hate speech" against new players.
I see this hate speech as destructive to the game. While a trash talker tends to think the bravado makes them look tough, it actually diminishes their stature for most readers. Some players I had admired in game greatly for their good organizational skills, I admire less now.
None of the simplistic replies to the post address the core point. LOL's and "this made me laugh" ....brilliant. I am impressed.
Yes I decided to make a few last minute in-game futile gestures. True I might even be encouraged to get active a bit again after my vacation. I will be way behind by then and no longer the #1 in my Ocean, but that was fading anyway. My time is done, unless I choose to play "Judas" in the game.
It was fun and I agree with many points you guys made. Good thinkers recognize truth and acknowledge it. Weak thinkers always believe they are right and defend fundamentally indefensible points.
People play for fun, true, but when you eliminate new player then smear {deleted} on their face for fun, you are intentionally ending what was weeks of effort and may just be opening a door to road rage or a parallel action in real life. Watch yourselves...
It was just futile to post in the forums, I agree, why pick a silly fight when I am more or less stopping being active anyway. Good points.
