*Breaking News* CWBCC Suspends Two Players

[ash chaulk]

ooo the action.. i echo fuller

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

AFAIK Nikal(sp) was spended for a whole season and then given a life ban, so it has happened before. From what i read and been told this different situation interms of the reasons for the bans, something to do with supporting India over CW.

Yeah, totally different issue.

You could have generalised, of course, and said that the only people raising concerns about the suspensions are buddies simply doing so to support their mates,

OK, I'll make that generalisation happily....oh wait...it's true?

I think you're trying to stir as much as Trav is and to make it worse, you're trying to take the moral high ground.

 

[Matteh]

If the people who are actually important care for your opinion, then sure, I might be in trouble. If I am then that's all good and well. Atleast Dauth isn't under any misconception that I think he is an alright bloke.

You can't say 'yeah well done, give them the overly lengthy bans for being morons' and then insult someone.

 

[Travis_Teh]

You could have generalised, of course, and said that the only people raising concerns about the suspensions are buddies simply doing so to support their mates, or you could've looked at it objectively and actually read the concerns being raised and understood that there are actual reasons for people criticising, or at least questioning the decision.

Of course Trav, true to form, you went with the former...

Why would I, or any other cricket web'er not associated with your little possee, give a **** about your reasoning to stick behind a mate? Your intentions to help a friend in need is totally irrelevant to their suspension.

How does your, or someone else's, comment saying "it is unfair" change the mind of the people who made the decision?

All i've been saying, until you called me a blatant drug user, was everyone needs to get over it. I have neither said that it was fair nor unjust. Just "get over it". Do that, save my fingers from typing, please.

 

[Johnners]

Odd, I remember the reason why I was suspended back in season 8 or 9 was becasue of you Dauth .... and I guess some things never change. I still think you are a complete ******.

This whole thread was started to inform people that two players were suspended. I'm pretty sure it wasn't started so those two players' friends would rally behind them to try and talk them out of punishment due to "unjust reasoning!".

Get over it, and crawl back under your rock, Dauth.

You'd be naive to think that such a decision wouldn't bring scrutiny given the severity of the bans. Add to that the fact that no-one is actually arguing against them being banned. People have questioned why Borcich was banned, which is not the same as saying he shouldn't be banned, and the length of their bans has also been questioned.

 

[ash chaulk]

blackman and borcich have friends :-o

Did I not say in the same text that I was banned previosuly for dealing with Dauth in such a manner? It's a shame, he brings it out in the best of us.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

OK, I'll make that generalisation happily....oh wait...it's true?

Not really. Like Clapo?

It's certainly not any more true than claiming that the only people who are supportive of the bans are people who already had a problem with the players in question in the first place. I don't really care who gets banned, a whole season for insulting another player is stupid.

Indeed, the criticism is purely about the length rather than the bans themselves.

 

[Matteh]

Then surely you should be banned again for dealing with Dauth in such a manner?

 

[Robertinho]

Oh, Jamee is just about best mates with both of them. Just ask PY.

I didn't say that it wasn't a vice-versa situation too. Just it was claimed that it wasn't happening when it clearly was.

I may/may not agree with you on the length of the bans.

Yep good one mate, dismiss what people are saying as merely sticking up for their friends. Ignore rational, ignore logic and well put arguments, don't even bother with it because all people are doing is sticking up for a mate.

Your replies to both Mitchell and Dauth have been of real poor form and an apology is warranted.

 

[Matteh]

I may/may not agree with you on the length of the bans.

Echoes of Kenny's Towns you rule/suck post.

Haha, wondered when the sarcasm would start biting.

Good call.

Well, I don't really think it is happening. Certainly some of the people who think the bans are harsh are friends with the players, but others obviously aren't, and may even be the exact opposite.

I daresay if the CWBCC reduced the bans to a reasonable length people would be fairly happy with the situation.

Hmm, you completely missed the point, so I'll simplify it - ignore the fact that some of the people raising concerns are friends with the two players in question, and simply look at what they're saying - look at why they're questioning the length of the bans. THEN, rather then simply accrediting their concerns to mateship and telling them to "get over it", try and actually address them (if you feel so compelled to comment passionately on the issue).

Above all, though, I'd suggest a nap and a cool glass of water to calm yourself down, big fella.

Not going to happen i dont think. The bans have been placed on those two with good reason. People are simply not enjoying the game because of the garbage that those two (and others, to a lesser extent) have been posting. Nath quitting perhaps highlighted to those in others teams just how bad the situation was.

People need to learn to be a little more mature and treat other people with respect that they would want to be shown themselves. Its really not that hard not to post garbage putting other people down and slagging people off in general and i think the board are right deciding to clamp right down on it. If anything perhaps these bans have come too late.
