If that's the case then BBS may have had some stern words for him!

The tournaments thing is interesting, and makes me think that he was being generous.

He posted his intention to join the tournament, but then never did join the tournament. That alone makes it out of the ordinary. Not a super-rare event, it does happen, but it's still something with a below-average frequency. And tournaments? Everyone knows that as part of my official duties I'm always prowling the tournament fora, looking for interesting facts to report on.

Makes me wonder.

Hate to break it to ya but you're not that special, Dukasaur. When writing a contract, I now realized the importance of adding vague language. That post was clan-related to reserve a spot for a Memento Mori, but my rules are my rules, and they are pretty clear.

I'll have to give my lawyer a call; his people will call your people shortly.

I thought about that, but what's the point?

After taking a break from this site, I'll likely post much less. This place, like many others, is stuck in the realm of opinion--even when low standards of evidence and 'facts' are presented. And unlike some, I'm not one for rhetoric--which is clearly super-effective (e.g. the recent presidential election, that recent shooting and another round of Gun Control debates between the two dumb sides: 'liberal' and conservative or Democrat v. Republican), nor am I in favor of entertaining anti-intellectuals like that nationalist farmer, the self-imagined academic/teacher, Batman Boy, and the English Sissy Tart.

Of course, one need not be an intellectual to be worthy of entertaining, but the person who (un)intentionally distorts information and only produces cyber poo isn't doing anyone any favors. They are sad, sad people with apparently very low opportunity costs. My pseudo-psychoanalysis indicates that they all suffer from low self-esteem, but if it's any consolation, they all have the capability to kill themselves or accidentally get themselves killed, which on net may be beneficial.

Instead, I'd rather spend more time reading and writing books and articles. Occasionally, I'll put this realm of opinion to good use.

Actually the specialness that you're shattering is your own.

Thinking that your post was a careless oversight is sad for me. I was much more enjoying thinking it was a grand gesture of generosity on your part, a teasing game laid out for me (just before Christmas, interestingly enough) with a benevolent twinkle in your eye.

No doubt someone will truly appreciate the gift.

As far as you being above posting in this place, well, that's obviously for you to decide. Certainly if you don't have the time for it, it would be wasteful on your end.

The promised tournament has been posted. My forty-ninth tournament, entitled:
"Gratuitous Transfer of Wealth"

For the first week, sign-ups are restricted to freemium members. If you know some freemiums who would like a shot at winning Premium, please pass the world along to them. If the tourney has not filled by March 17th, it will on March 18th be open to Premium members also.
