Default Re: Who banned Clarkmeister?

Hi Gildwulf:

If Mason banned someone every time they called Dids fat we would lose about 80% of our user base.

There's a big difference here. Dids is very capable of defending himself. Hal can't drive a car. He can't walk through a casino without someone helping him. Once in the poker room he can't find his seat without help. He can't see the people on either side of him so he needs to be told when it's his turn to act. And of course, he can't see the cards or the board without being told what they are.

As an experiment, go to a restaurant and order a meal. But when it comes, close your eyes while you're eating and you'll get some idea what Hal goes through.

So this is the real problem here. Someone like Dids is completely capable of defending himself. Hal is not.

Best wishes,
Mason
