The jokes on you dumb fucking Haliberries that think Gart would really give a shit if he's perma'd. He doesn't give a shit about this game anymore, he just wants to fuck it up and piss people off. That's why he should be getting the boot.
The jokes on you for thinking our posting have something to do with where our dots play. This has happened before. Nothing was done about it before. Why is it such a big deal now?
I have told Gart that it is not even about this particular incident. My opinion is solely based on the fact that I see this group as being one that gets enjoyment out of lessening the GLB experience for others, and that is why he should be banned.
Had Hazy done this for instance, and the result was that the award formula got fixed, fewer people would be up in arms. The difference is that I would give Hazy the benefit of the doubt and would be inclined to believe that he was trying to make the game better. I wouldn't agree with the way he went about it, but I would be inclined to believe his motives.
With Gart, I believe the motive was to fuck with people, which entirely changes my view of the incident.
So what you are saying is you and most others are letting personal opinion about others influence your decision, which I've said numerous times weakens, if not completely invalidates your argument. The usage of "this group" is a fallacy also. Because unless you are in "that group" you are just guessing.
I am stating my opinion, so the strength of my argument is irrelevant for me. Bort will never read these posts and if he does he can make his own assessment of the situation based on what I have layed out.
My usage of the term "this group" includes Gart for throwing the game, and several posters who generally make the forum less enjoyable for someone like myself that enjoys the game aspect of GLB and wants to talk seriously about the dots. I can't speak for others who use the "group" term. Given that it is difficult to pinpoint who knew what or who is responsible for what in this case, my opinion is that Gart alone should be banned. Not an ideal solution, but as you correctly state, you can't lump anyone else into this "group" unless you are inside and know specifics.
You always have the option of just sticking to dot talk threads, because those you mentioned do not derail such threads unless provoked to by someone posting in those threads first, which almost inevitably happens because certain people can't get out of their own way.
