I think it is sad if the higher BKR's avoid playing lower BKR's simply for the ratings. How did they get that rating in the first place? And how are the lower BKR's ever to increase their ratings? I myself am a lower BKR and sometimes feel ignored on this site even though I have played here for a long time and paid the same membership fees as everyone else. If the site is to grow, we need everybody regardless of rating. I thought they were games for fun anyway!
Please accept my apology for expressing my opinion and I don't mean it toward anyone in particular!
