Glad to here that there are others with the same logic.

I puzzle over people who won't participate in something simply because there exists in the universe one or two BBS threads out of thousands that contain some letters that form words that when read have some element of discord in them. It is hard for me to believe that these posts produce such a profound unrest in one's being. After all, it is not like the competition is carried out in an environment where the participants are sequestered and forced to interact with each other face to face where true unpleasantness would have a real effect. After all, in this case, it's only words that you are not forced to read.
This observation leads me to only two reasonable conclusions about a person that would give such a reason for lack of participation. One, they need an excuse for other reasons that they are not man enough to admit. Or two, they have such a weak constitution that simple words that they are not forced to read cause them to be so profoundly addled and upset that, for the sake of their own wellbeing they avoid the competition altogether.
As a side note, I do find it fascinating that, while these refuse to participate, we do find them insinuating themselves into the discussion. Hmmm. What does that tell us? Hmmm. It tells us that most likely that it is the first reason with some combination of the second. Or it is the leprechaun that is making them read AND respond. That is one mean leprechaun.
It is also noteworthy that they did not participate in the first few tourneys that had no discord. Yep, definitely the first reason at least.
So BE, I saw your post in the other thread. Ppl will continue to participate because not everyone in this game is a ninny.
