All these mopes did nothing but watch. Again, Jamie got away with all that stuff because the other players let him get away; they have only themselves to blame.

err... no. That's like saying we have everyone to blame for Barry Bonds taking steroids except for Barry Bonds. Gold's actions were wrong whether he is called out or not. He is an adult and he is responsible for his own behavior. Logic like the kind in your quote has enabled cheaters for ages and is just plain retarded.

But this is a really stupid thing to be arguing about because there is only one person who posts regularly on 2p2 who played with Gold late in the ME, and I don't think I've heard him (or any of the other players, for that matter) griping about Gold's behavior in a public way. It is the people who watched it on TV that have had such a negative reaction to him and we are all entitled to our opinions.
