Playing fair...or playing stupid?

Hostage:
Your last comment "CHEATERS ARE LIKE TAMPONS,... " is totally unnecessary and a bit on the classless side. You do realize that this is not just a "boys only" forum but one that reaches out to all ages and both females and males. I personally am offended by your post and apparent lack of class.

I have seen lately quite a decline in the manners of many of the members here on AO (mostly new members but some old as well), but I am glad to see that the Moderators are starting to crack down on it.

As his team was leaving the field I was so impressed with his honesty that I told him so. He said thank you and proceeded to the chrono. It was in this line that I heard his teamates rip into him for volunteering himself to be checked. The hit did make it past the observations of the ref. They chewed into him for the next 20 min. and I felt very agrivated and sorry for him.

Granted there is the competitive nature of tourney ball which causes this in the first place, but still playing fair is the best route.

If his teammates chewed into him for making the right decision, you have to wonder if that's the team for him? Perhaps its time to find a new team?

I am sorry you offended by that last comment. I didn't mean it offencivly. I was compairing cheating to a problem that all women and men hate. If I compaired it to thing that guys did or that guys and women do both, would it have been better? I was compairing a problem to another problem using a semily. Again I apoligize.

KHartley,

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only non moderator to try to help.

Come on guys, that is ridiculous!

Everybody should have jumped on it!

Keep it clean, and use some common sense, guess that is in short supply among us sometimes.

Bill

PS- Hostage, if you edited it out once you realized it was offensive, thank you!

Bwaites: I apologized to her personally and openly and also eraised it from my original message, I ment it as some stuiped joke. Just please don't jump on my back about it, I understood what I did wrong and I don't think I needs to be ANY more discussion about it anymore.

Hostage:
Thank you for your apology. I appreciate you taking that off your post and realizing what you did.

Bwaites:
Thank you as well. I do think that it is time for people to realize what is appropriate and what is not.

Havoc_online:

I couldn't agree more with you. It doesn't make any sense for it to be on here since Hostage took that part off of his post anyway.

Sam (shartley) says thank you as well.
