I think you people are freakin nuts, and harley, well, never mind.

With freedom comes responsibility, it is a fact no matter how many would try to dispute it. One has total freedom to step off the cliff, yet it is not always the most responsible thing to do, especially if there is a stair down. Truthfully, being rather new to backgammon, I was not aware of some of the rules, and the bugs that can be caused by software logic problems. If I have violated this rule (or any for that matter), please forgive my ignorance and point it out to me, I will happily reform my manner of play.

Fencer was accused of making an "inflammatory" remark (my words and spelling) about a user that posted a remarkably lackluster compaint. I think it is outrageous that anyone would bother the poor man after the last few days, especially when they play for free. You will have to scroll back a ways, there is a lot of litter on the highway

As a sidenote, I also thought that an ignore button would be helpful for the future maintenance of a civil site. But I have sadly changed my mind. An ignore button would still mean that I play at a site with the aforementioned boards, and that just is not gonna happen. So, have to agree with a few, it will be interesting to see how all this plays out, my best wishes and full bets lie with Fencer.

I think Fencer has done a pretty good job of addressing all these problems. But because of an assortment of people, very much in the minority at this point in this sites history, and a strong desire of a good gaming site, this site, in my humble opinion, is in trouble. And anyone that may disagree, please go read the general chat site at IYT and envision the future here if something is not done about that problem alone. Why do you all automatically suppose that Fencer and Liquid wish to continue to deal with that problem and continue to provide a free gaming environment on their own. And nothing comes for free, unless money is being made in another place to cover it.

I agree completely, this site is a great place to game. I do not have much experience with other sites, mainly because I have read the general chat boards first. I have found that the majority of the people here are friendly and considerate, and most seem to want to maintain at least the semblance of civility. Hats off to Fencer and hopes the site will prosper.
