...and thank you. Hmmm, this is interesting.
I am aware of one certain individual's accusations...in fact, that person has claimed the same thing against another member as seen in a post from 2005 in this very same forum...so, in that respect, I'm not surprised.
That said...if the league changed from 45 sec. timers. to 30 sec. timers due to member(s) assumptions that I am cheating(?)...that's news to me. If that's a widely-held assumption, so be it. There's always a number of people with sour grapes in any league.
I play a fair game without resorting to cheating, and I am a good (but not unbeatable) player.
It's more likely that the cheating-accusation 'bandwagon jumping' is due to me not buying into the overly-emphasized 'social' aspects of the lobby that so many members hold so dear. Some people just can't get enough adoration in the lobby. If that's your thing, fine...but it's not (and shouldn't have to be) everyone's.
So...I'm sorry to see such an excellent player such as Ant leave over such a petty and ridiculous issue.
Best of luck Ant and take care.
RSC.
