Croquet ruined my snooker. Not that either of them are/were much good, but there was a definite detrimental effect.

'Croquet Ruined My Snooker'. Now there's a title for some memoirs!

Sorry for thr outburst in Limericks. Am I the only one who is offended by Marc's 'style' of play?

(pen) No you are not. I tried a little irony but it zoomed over his head. Others have dropped hints recently but obviously to no effect.

(pen) I've had another go.

[pen & Rosie] Am totally with you on this one. I don't know if Marc even bothers to read this game [he certainly never contributes to it - or any other game that I've noted] but if you do [Marc] can we just request, because you seem to contribute so regularly, that you expand your mind a little to matters other than tits and sexist innuendo? Call me old-fashioned, but my humorous streak is more likely to be satisfied when a wider subject matter is brought to bear. Selfish? Maybe. But I have a hunch that others may agree. Thanks :-)

[Chalky] You can count on my support on that matter.

I've already indicated support. Although I disagree that he come across as a dirty old man; I think he comes across as an eleven-year old.

Marc certainly comes across as deeply immature. Personally, if I were rab, I'd consider blocking him because he just seems to annoy people, and appears to revel in doing so.

Well, frankly, I can't be arsed -- which is not to say I don't think the complaint is valid, just that blocking ain't really my style.

... now why doesn't that surprise me?

[Chalky] Is that some kind of complaint?

I assumed it was a comment on your somewhat cavalier approach to the Great Game.

Chalky can speak for herself, but my best guess is that it was a compliment. :-)

FWIW, I think that blocking should only be carried out in extreme circumstances, which are currently not met. Dan and Dunx can also speak for themselves, but I think their general view, suceessfully implemented on their servers, is that we should sort these things out among ourselves if at all possible.

However, I do suggest that we try to get rab banned on account of his somewhat cavalier approach to the Great Game.

If that last post doesn't get CdM banned, I don't know what will!

[Blocking] The penny drops...

Sorry if you've found the server a bit up-and-downy the last couple of days. It should stay up longer now.

[rabsweetums] What CdM said. Barring someone from the site should IMO only occur when threatening/stalking/pronographic activities take place on a regular basis. Marc is just a silly twit sometimes, harmless really; and anyway, WHO would pen and I and others have the opportunity to have a pop at now and then if he wasn't in the firing line ...? :-)

I was going to say

[Chalky] Glad to see you and pen aren't getting your pretty little heads all worked up over this - now why don't you do some needlework or baking to relax.

, but I remembered, they know where I live. I vote against banning, and for bearing in mind other people's sensibilities.
