Thanks Won for letting us know how much you value our patronige of your site. If it is obvious that if we have some affiliation with Cases we are no longer welcome on your site.

I would just like to say that I understand the posts and messages being left by other ladder members along the lines of, "lets just ride this out and see what happens" or " is the ladder that important", and I understand its a business decision on the part of Won, whatever Wons reasoning is on this matter their attitude sucks !!! That should be pretty evident by ZZooms post above.

I really hope that the Cases ladder members will open their eyes to the way that Cases has, and is, being treated here. When you hear about some company that exploits child labor, or has plants where their product is made that have substandard working conditions, do you still continue to support that product ? I know these are probably poor examples, but we the Cases TD's have been mistreated by Won and I would hope that our ladder members will support us wherever we end up moving to.

All of us, Cases ladder members and TD's alike, have just been told by Won, "Thanks but we dont need you here". Tell Won, in the only way that they will understand, that you will not tolerate being treated this way. Do not use the Won site any longer !!!

Write to Won and their advertisers that you have come to this decision and give them your reasons why. There are other sites available to play at. It's the people and the friendships that are important. After the 28th I will no longer give Won the satisfaction of my "hit". I do want to see my friends and I will continue to run tournaments. Hopefully I will see most of you whenever and wherever that ends up being.

It has been 5 days since I have logged on to the Won site. I will be running a few tournys during the saturday/sunday Olympic backgammon marathon being put on by Cases and I am only doing that because I committed to that before I heard about the fallout. I hope to see some of you there. If not, I will miss you and hopefully we will run into each other again on another site, after the 28th I will be deleting Won off my computer the same way Won deleted Cases off their site.. Peace Out Love you guys Scooby_TD
