Thank you Tarrus, I now look forward to next meeting you on a game.
Regarding your unfortunate feedback, I have noticed an odd trend.
Those who seem to be the most 'combative' in their feedbacks or those who have 'odd' ways of playing (and tend to end up on ones ignore list) seem to, in the main, descend slowly but surely to lower ranks. Now before anyone starts pointing out those who are still 'senior' ranks, I have said 'in the main'.
Call me retentive but I keep all sorts of records from playing here (Doubles/Triples partners results, results against regular opponents etc., just my fascination for stats and number crunching really) and the above information comes from taking snapshots of my ignore page once in a while.
This has led me to believe that the natural order of things actually does have an impact on this site. That is to say, the maniacs tend to end up on many ignore lists, while those who play straight and true tend, ultimately, to rise steadily. This begs the obvious question...do those who are of the ilk mentioned ultimately end up on so many ignore lists they cannot get into the games where decent points pick ups are available?
For the record, my ignore list now carries no one above the rank of Serge. Yet at times previously it did. More than half are now Corporal or less, with many sinking to the ranks of cadet and cook.
So, in summary Tarrus, I would say, stick him on ignore, it is my philosophy, that he will dissapear into that great morass of the lower ranks, for ever to be circling like a venemous frustrated maniac, until he ends up dissapearing up his own derrier.
Due to current economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off
