Normally I would say yes, but Groiny has been stiffed more than once -- nm - amoxy Nov 16, 07:53 36
- And we all agree that it sucks and it's stupid. -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:57 22
  - yet, people always want to tiptoe around this shit. there is no need to spare someone's feelings - groiny Nov 16, 07:58 21
    - I don't run it but if everyone knew their name would be posted the first week of January, it will almost cure it totally -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 07:59 20
      - look, I get that things come up, I really do. It did with me. BUT I have always made good on my committments. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:02
      - run it then. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:00 18
        
        It wasn't a critique of past people that ran it, only a suggestion moving forward. - Bacon Nov 16, 08:02 17
        
        the suggestion has been made. the person running it does what they feel is best. - Andie Nov 16, 08:04 16
        
        I don't think I can do better. I could do worse though, so there is that. - Bacon Nov 16, 08:04 15
        
        then maybe stop criticizing. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:05 14
        
        As I pointed out. I didn't criticize, you only took it that way. It was a suggestion. Can we not throw out ideas anymore? -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 08:06 13
        
        it was not a new idea. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:06 12
        
        Well then throw a Mop tag on me. -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 08:07
        
        (after 14 plus years of people telling you to do things differently, it gets tiresome) -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:07 10
        
        Well, then maybe I am the straw the broke the camels back. It was mearly making a suggestion. - Bacon Nov 16, 08:08
        
        andie, you cannot force someone to do anything they do not want to do. - groiny Nov 16, 08:08 8
        
        but the organizers are the ones that get the crap. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:09 7
        
        The organizers don't deserve crap, but it is fair to ask if name and shame for slackers would reduce some of the crap - TWuG Nov 16, 08:13 4
        
        There are specific reasons why people who welched weren't outed, as Andie has said in the past (and on one of these backboards). - kelly Nov 16, 08:16 2
        
        Nothing but admiration for those who run it and I bow to their wisdom - TWuG Nov 16, 08:19 1
        
        This. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 16, 08:50
        
        like i said, anyone who wants to run it differently, feel free. - Andie Nov 16, 08:15
        
        I understand that. Did I say you did a bad job? After every game of Fox and Hens we make suggestions to make the game better - Bacon Nov 16, 08:11
        
        I am not giving you crap. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:10
- me too, for the record. - Andie Nov 16, 07:54 11
  - Who in their right mind would stiff the organizer? - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:12 10
    - I'd stiff her, but she's married now... -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 08:14 1
      - I had zork or budice coming up with this post. Congrats. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:15
    - shitty people. - groiny Nov 16, 08:12 7
      - but they aren't, that's the thing. yes, i know who they are, and no, they aren't bad people. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:17 6
        
        this particular case? there is no valid excuse for not getting to the damn post office. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:18 5
        
        oh, sure, mail the damn thing, of course. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:19 1
        
        I know one of the 2 people who stiffed me, and had communicated with them. - groiny Nov 16, 08:22
        
        ...after 2 years. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 08:19 2
        
        completely mindblowing. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:19 1
        
        How did the other package get mailed? I mean, on what planet do you not just take care of both?! - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:24
- TMI -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 07:54
no, because it is fucking bullshit, spamlet. I had been stiffed on back to back exchanges, and it is bullshit. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 07:53
