*shrug* They can hate me as much as they want, I don't care for their, or others, opinions of me. Just so long as the game continues and the forum stays civil.
Reason I didn't send the PM was two fold: one of Speaker and Sullla were going to reply, and this way Athlete saves some face on the issue - just look at how Speaker replied, accusing Athlete, this way I diverted attention onto myself and from Athlete, and kept the thread that little bit cooler because everyone knew what was happening. The other point is I would have had to say publicly that Athlete had been asked to stop posting, and then people would have wondered what had happened, leading to gossip...boundaries have to be known to the community, and understood, before they work.
