Since when did Richard come back?
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.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.
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: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.
It's sad that you don't take drugs seriously.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.
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.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.
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.AussieDominance said:IMO Demeza eg Travis_Teh is a joke and really need's to neck up as he is a belter.
That is all.
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".Samuel_Vimes said: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.
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.Travis_Teh said: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.

So in reality, you have no leg to stand on here.
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.Travis_Teh said: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 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.Travis_Teh said: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.
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.Travis_Teh said: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.

haha.Buddhmaster said:Liking the way Towns is doin this. Demeza, not so much.
?Travis_Teh said: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.

And no, I am not taking the piss.
