*Breaking News* CWBCC Suspends Two Players

****, Dan, where to start. ... how about I quote every quote that you have quoted off of me? .... pshhhh. Also, couldn't be arsed typing out your exhessively long name, so DANSMITH shall suffice.

DANSMITH said:
Your childish comments are far form constructive. Baiting the people posting before you into a knee-jerk response towards your horrible behaviour isn't as constructive as say, me, formally appealing the length of the bans, or even the VC of Blue doing the same thing. You're trying to justify an post where you openly call all our posts crap. Yeah, nice work.
It always amuses me that people, like you (yes, i have subjected you to a generalisation ... i dislike doing this) accuse me of HORRIBLE behaviour ... when realistically you and i are the same in regards to poor behaviour on these CW forums. I've been suspended in the past and i've been an abnoxious, a nnoying, arrogant prick also ... most like you and others here.
So in reality, you have no leg to stand on here.

DANSMITH said:
Okay, before I deal with the fact that this post is a complete slagging off of another player, have you not noticed that I'm CW Black captain now, and am arguing the length of these bans for the sake of my club as a whole, not because these guys are part of my "CW Clique" which everyone seems to think. My stance is purely towards the benefit of the club, and overall, the competition. The bans are overly long and because they don't really affect you, you're saying that we should all "get over it" with no appeal process. This isn't the Soviet Union, you know.

Anywho, this Demeza post and some of the following posts warrant at least a warning, IMO.
I still firmly stand behind my initial point of "get over it" ... because even if you ARE the newly appointed captain of CW Black ... oh on that topic, well done mate ,... you really deserve it from all of the self promotion and arse kissing you've given off there :), .... I still stand by the fact that I believe the "powers that be have the last say". .... hence "get over it". Couldn't care less of the country we all live in, you little punk rawker you.

DANSMITH said:
Oh yeah, he really posted that with the intention of reporting you to the national police as a drug user. This is a complete joke of a post, I can't believe you're using an obviously sarcastic post by Dauth as justification for your ridiculous baiting and tirade.
It's sad that you don't take drugs seriously.
I've done drugs, i've been there, done that. I have friends who are in horrible places due to drugs and it is a complete insult to me that other people suggest these things. Who the hell do you think you are to say these insinuations are sarcastic enouhg to not warrant a reply back? Shame, shame on you.

DANSMITH said:
This is hardly trivial in the eyes of CW Black. You may have not lost two of the essential parts of your squad at Blue, but if you had, it wouldn't be so trivial to you. Poor form, I expected more overall than this from you.
Actually we "CW Blue" have lost one of main players in Andy Cloete over this whole annoying 'thing'. Yet, it is still trivial to me.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less what you thought was good or poor form from me.

Wait for the smiley .... :D

IMO Demeza eg Travis_Teh is a joke and really need's to neck up as he is a belter.

That is all.
Well to be perfectly honest, all I need to say in comment of your wise words is that I wish you could command the english language a little better .... it would make my life, and other people who didn't voice their opinion so publically, easier.

On'ya Rodgie! 8-)

The bannings were this long because of the "straw breaking camel's back" effect. We've had short bans and they've really had little discernible effects on the general conduct in the forum; yes, it's harsh, and it's supposed to be harsh because we don't want people going around creating an atmosphere where people retire because they're frozen out. That's 11-year-old schoolyard stuff. This is not a battle worth fighting for "freedom of expression"; with that freedom comes a responsibility, which has been sadly lacking over the past couple of seasons.
There's nothing wrong with taking prior offences into account. In fact, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. That doesn't mean that these absurdly long bans are the correct way to go, though, especially when there's no clear incident (other than Hoy retiring) which can be seen as the "final straw". It'd be appropriate to give Blackman a heavy ban (say 5-10 games) for the Butler issue, and I'm not exactly sure what Borcich did, but a similar ban may be warranted in his case. I do think what he did should be explained though, as nobody, including him, seems to have any idea exactly what the ban is for, other than some sort of generic case of "poor behaviour".

Having said all that, this sort of massive punishment as some sort of warning is uncalled for, and is equivalent to treating dandruff by decapitation.

Except I've openly admitted, accepted and attempted to reform this poor behaviour (which has obviously been somewhat successful) whereas you've decided to come in here and throw insults and accusations around here, with little or no foundation. That said, I don't have a leg to stand on to try and take any moral high ground, but at least I'm using restraint and rationale here. You've "unleashed the demon", so to speak, and in the eyes of others it's surely not doing you any favours.

Right, I'm going to take this post with a grain of salt, to be honest. But for all the coaches that aren't really used and lifelike off-season tours and un-neccesary club cricket allocations to make it more realistic, there should be some realistc discretion shown and some realistic avenues of appeal. Regardless of whether you care about what country this is, you can hardly disagree about that.

I never said that they didn't warrant a reply, I said it's shameful that you're using some obviously sarcastic remarks to justify your disgraceful actions so far in this thread.

Yes, you lost a player. All clubs have, I think. But the suspensions have no effect on Andy moving, he did that before they were made public and before he had any knowledge of them.

It doesn't matter what you think of it, you're obviously going to be biased in a situation that directly involves you, it matters what the powers that be think, which you obviously already believe in. I personally hope you cop a suspension for this, and I'd hope that there'd be a proper avenue of appeal for you. If you don't, then so be it. That's life, eh?

Agree with the bans. They were jerks before, then they got banned for small periods, then still continued to be idiots, caused alot of anger amongst a lot of players throughout the system and they thoroughly deserve the bans IMO.

It can't be stressed enough that all club captains and the PA Rep were consulted extensively in the decision-making process.

I expected a bigger discussion from Smith, TBF IMO AFAIC TBH OMG ....... and in hindsight, I am completely ashamed at the lack of interest I have brought to the table.

I'm a firm believer of "get over it", which I believe Smith really needs to adhere to... regadless of the fact of how "keenly interested" he is in the topic.

Oh, before you get on your "internet high horse of "I PWNED HIM HAR HAR"", I really couldn't care less. Yes, I agree this internet forum is a great thing and it is run by geniunley good guys who don't need to run it and yet they run it out of their own personal free time rah rah rah.... ,BUT, I still don't care what others say when I say what I think.

This whole thread was about people being suspended, deal with it.

First things first, people need to cool off. You guys are getting into pretty intense debate over this stuff and arguing while hot-headed will never do you any favours. We all must be careful with our words to other members, and given the amount of complaints I received and also noticed around the forums from the players about the behaviour of certain individuals, I'm pleased to see that the CWBCC has responded to the raising of the issue to their level.

There was indeed a very lengthy discussion regarding this, exploring various avenues, and I'm happy with the way that the CWBCC have consulted myself and the captains in-depth.

If anyone has any issues they would like to raise, email myself at loony_bob@yahoo.com and I will be happy to discuss it with the players as a whole.

Liking the way Towns is doin this. Demeza, not so much.
haha.

Seriously, can't help but laugh with your attitude. It is so grand... facing a suspension on this forum thing for a season (nfi how long that is in terms of years) and it doesn't bother you the slightest.

The picture of the king, Warne, in your avitar is so fitting. Knows he is a champion and cares little at what others think.

(y)

And no, I am not taking the piss.
