(Ranked 72 on Scrabble 2 (Zone) Ladder) on August 29, 2002 at 20:15:03:

I have been a proud member of this ladder for over two years...I may not get to play much as I would like; as my daughter, my husband, my job and my homework from nursing school take a lot of my time. But, I try to come around for a game every now and then, and more often than not, I end up in the "regular" room, as there are no available players in the Ladder Room. Tonight, I was thrilled to see 17 players in the room! I enter and I am even more excited to find an opponent very easily.
BRTritchy enters my game and off we go after a brief exchange of pleasantries. The game heats up pretty quickly, and I must admit that Maven is generous with me, the Z, the J, a couple of S's and a blank all within the first handful of turns. There is no chat, which as an NSA tournament player I don't object to; I am concentrating on my game.
BRTitchy plays, HORNRIM, which I challenge. It comes off the board. I get ready to place my next letters, and BOOM!, BRTitchy has been discoed. Or so I think.
I wait patiently in the lobby for BRTitchy to return. He/she does and I send a ZM:
SadieChamp: "What happened?".
BRTitchy: "You got your win, I reported."
SadieChamp: "What?? You reported??"
BRTitchy: "I knew you looked up HORNRIM and you were cheating. So I reported."
SadieChamp: "You can't handle playing someone who actually KNOWS a phony? Thanks for the game, you are a real sport."
BRTitchy: F&*K You Too.

BRTitchy: What the hell are you ^@*!#ing about, you got your win?
SadieChamp: Thanks for the game, hope to play soon.

I may not have been around much lately, but I am guessing it is people like this that have driven players away.
Not only do I not appreciate being called a cheater (If I may say so myself, I think my NSA rating speaks for itself: It is pretty evident that I can work my way around a Scrabble board without the help of a Franklin!)
But, THEN to be sworn at by some sort of sore-sport loser? I don't think so. It is sad that our Ladder has come to this.
