- Let me explain the chronolgy of events.
-
- Harper requested I prove I could play by playing you.
- I told him if he was willing to "put his money where his mouth is" I would play
- him.
- He declined.
- You then came in and stated you would like to play me.
- I countered by making you the same offer I made harper.
- You have declined.
-
- Pure and simple Sven, I am MORE than willing to play you--provided the loser
- suffers more than just a loss of game.
-
- It is YOU who are unwiling to risk anything in the play.

-
- Obviously you are WISHING I were backing down instead of yourself.
-
- It is kind of like a poker game Sven:
-
- Harper made the ante and dealt.
- I raised, and he folded.
- You then come in and want to "see my cards".
- But you are unwilling to see the raise.
- Yet, you claim that I am the one unwilling to play.
-
- Sorry Sven, that makes it YOU who are folding up.
