ellieoop, you ask for answers to questiosn that were already answered. By your own admission, you don't feel like reading the responses. Well, if I took the time to write well-thought out and lengthy explanations, then you can take the time to read them. I don't know why you think I or anyone else should waste time repeating ourselves for your benefit. I would estimate that your questions have bene answered three or four times EACH by Gary and myself.

then i take it, that you and Gary are the ones that are running these games, and my posts should go to you, and it also tells me that an option will not be put in place and it would be foolish for me to continue asking for it.

Okay, first of all, this is NOT my site or Gary's site, it is FENCER's site. HE receives input from me and Gary just like he no doubt receives input from everyone else.

To say that Gary and I are ruining anything or driving people away is LUDICROUS. Pente is HERE on this site largely because of the actions of Gary and Myself. We then spread the word about pente being here and lots of pente players flocked from IYT to play pente here. DOes Fencer OWE us anything for that? Of course not!! BUt, he did lidten to our acse for adding the restriction to the small board and he thought we made a good case, so he made the decision to do so.

Ellieoop, I am growing frustrated more and more with your refusal to read the posts in this thread. I actually stated that I am giving up on trying to keep the "variant" off of BRain King because people are being petty about it and threatening to leave Brain King. I am VEHEMENTLY opposed to this variant, and I will continue to try to dissuade people from playing it, but if people are going to leave the site AND tell others to leave the site, well, that is not good. My suggestion was to give the variant a different name like pseudopente or something similar. All of you noisemakers just want the variant, so what do you care what it is called? Can't you make that one small concession to appease those who are tihnking about this logically instead of with illogical emotions?

BUt no, apparently everyone missed tihs and started flaming me. Maybe they thought I was sarcastac, since snutter thinks that is the only thing I know how to do.

Those who have been whining about Gayr and I taking their choices away shouldn't care what the game is called, all they want to do it PLAT it, they have made that quite clear. So why not concded the opint about hwat it is called? then, the development of pente need not be inhibited, and everyone is happy.

But I suspect a LOGICAL resolution si not what any of you want, no, you want to argue and call people names and such.

ALso, none of you would actually be willing to concede that I am making a good point about anything, no matter how many good points I make.
