I think we all need to to step back and relax a little. Joe, sjanke was merely showing support to a fellow ladder op, as well she should. I don't believe it was meant as a slap at you, so why take it that way? Don't be so defensive. No one is "out to get you", but understand that things may not always go just the way you want them to. To say you will only come back and TD "if things change".....well, like what? and how? change to your set of rules only? Is that really fair? Your stance in this mess puzzles me.....:-(
All the TD's, past and present, are great simply because they are willing to give up their playing time to host tournies for other players. Running a tourney is not difficult by any means. Anyone can do it, but it takes a certain amount of dedication.
One thing that Dippy mentioned that struck me the most was that wildcards is quickly resembling another WON....different site....same garbage. All we did was transplant it from one place to another. As for myself? I haven't been online to play cards in a week, and although I miss everyone dearly, I surely haven't missed the stress of trying to avoid siding with one camp or another. I graduated high school too many years ago to waste my time with schoolyard fights and gangs now. The name calling has to stop. The bickering has to stop. It doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong anymore, but to some i guess it does matter. :-( This ladder will never be what WON was to many of us if it's going to start it's life this way....I only hope it doesn't die the same ugly death.
I'm sorry I've rambled so much tonight. I'm just in a reflective mood, and it hurts to see everyone fighting again. I hope I haven't said anything that has offended anyone. That wasn't what I set out to do. If I have, please e-mail me and maybe I can explain what I meant to say better.
Thanks for listening. :-)
