BARNES OUT
Making a public mockery out of one of the players in the Dev League, especially by one of the most senior induviduals of CW Cricket, should not be allowed. Regardless of my reaction.

Given the stature of that duck, it was hardly less-than-noticeable for everyone else anyway. I just noted it too. It still makes me smile.dontcloseyoureyes said:
There's a difference between banter and insults, and you responded to banter with an insult. Not exactly fairplay.

And being made a public mockery by the head of the Dev League sets a great example.... how?

You know full well that no one made a public mockery of you. It's not like it's some obscure fact that I dug up. It was right there on the most recent scorecard.dontcloseyoureyes said:

Marc. Come on mate. That's hardly the right way to go about it. And it certainly shouldn't be an attitude that a senior member of dev league cricket should be expressing.marc71178 said:

So I'm not allowed my opinion (one which I incidentally know is shared by another very senior member of the game as he's told me in an email)Mister Wright said:
As I see it a group of people on here are very capable of dishing the crap out, but as soon as someone dare's to give it to them they can't handle it.

Yes. I think as senior members of the dev league we should not be encouraging people to retire. We should be the one's acting in a mature way and setting an example. How about saying instead of retiring, saying something like you should have re-think about the way you approach people or react to statements on the forum and have a little respect or understanding that some people can be more sensitive than others about certain things. If everyone would have just said "sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, and I'm sorry if I did," this thing would have been over long ago, but instead we have senior and junior members of the dev league trading insults back and forth.marc71178 said:
The last thing we should be doing is encouraging members of the dev league to retire, that's not what I want. Everyone knows that Smith and I don't really get on that well, but the last thing I want is for him to be pushed out of the dev leauge, he is an active and committed member of dev league and AFAIC his imput is valued, however on a few occasions he has stepped over the line, but so have other more senior members.
I hope Smith stays and I hope everyone learns a lesson from this drama in that we need to be more tolerable of each other and stop the snide remarks and insults and as senior players we should be setting and example.
You can have your opinion in private, but AFAIC as a senior member of dev league you should have a different way of approaching things in public on the forum.
