The following is part of a post a player put up in response to a post i made here http://markbyers.com/forum/ in the bugs and suggestions section asking for an invite button.

"I've asked a few people if they would like to join me for a game but they decline because they say I "scare" them. If they don't feel comfortable playing me for whatever reason, then that is their right. I don't ridicule or call them names in the lobby or write bad things about them in a blog. "
Well CutiePi or whichever name you are using today I am so very proud of you for not ridiculing people. I wish i could rise to your level but it just makes me sick to see players with high ratings that reject comparable players wanting a game then play someone rated 500 points below them just to get 1 more ratings point on their tally. Gee who the hell does that at wordsteal???? I will continue to write ridicule call names or do whatever i can if it shames even one player into taking on quality opponents.
