- Oh YOU...Spoilsport...you Cad, you!
- My idealistic bubble is broken! :-)
-
- I know that nothing is safe, but that doesn't
- mean that I'm going to play a game without
- trying to acquire the skill and tactics needed
- to outwit my opponent. Bob's quote was meant
- as a joke and I *did* laugh when I read it
- (thank you Bob), but it also showed me that
- I hadn't been aware of what I was writing and
- how its meaning could easily be altered. Sure,
- people will read my posts and misinterpret or
- skew the content, but who says that I have to
- assist them by writing sloppy posts? "Think
- before you post." Isn't that that the point of
- another current thread?
