Oh Please the game has gone on. I asked politely to go back into the game and was told NO. Insofar as my language is coming out of my ass, that is where I took it.
If someone makes a mistake, they should admit and move on. That is character in my book. I didn't deserve my punishment and when you start a game you expect to finish not be eliminated on a whim.
I have been involved in countless games with worse language.
Ban me, insult me- but don't tell me I deserved what I got.
For the record, I am sorry for offending and if my spirited discussion was taken personally. But yes I am pissed and I think any other person in my shoes would be pissed.
Andy, I think Racheal can speak for herself. I have yet to hear a peep. And by the way, I tried to reserve Fignorant(at)rocketmail.com ([email]Fignorant(at)rocketmail.com[/email]) for myself, but it was taken. Maybe you have it?

Moderators and players of 212,
As an upstanding member of the community and Rachael's husband, I hereby officially request that Greg, the player causing the huge problem for this game, be removed from the community.
Mods, let me explain myself:
- If a player NMRs, for whatever reason, it is the GMs decision whether to keep the player or not. Knowing how to correctly spell the work "challenged" is, while commendable on Greg's part, immaterial to the case at hand. That is not how it's spelled in Rachael's email addres, so he screwed up. Plain and simple. Going as far over the deadline as he did, and with no communication with the GM, adverselt affects the game and the other players, and is thus justification for replacement.
- On that note, replacing a player is the GMs decision. There are several good and justifiable reasons to replace a player. Being that overdue on orders, and holding up the game, is one of them.
However, neither of these points is justification for removing someone from the site. Let's get into that.
- Greg personally insulted Rachael. I would have been offended even were she not my wife. Personal attacks are beyond the pale. "fugly(at)rocketmail.com", "the GM is being a baby", "your integrity is pathetic" ... I think Greg's integrity is what should be under the microscope here, but I wouldn't go so far as to say pathetic in a public forum. That would be a personal attack, which I would like to think I'm mature enough to keep out of the Dip community.
- Greg complained that he had put up with countless delays and inconsistencies. He is now the cause of the delay, while the whole game is paused to listen to his rant. He is continuing to be a detriment to the game, even though he's no longer a part of it. He is also becoming a detriment to the site, by showing every party involved how childish he is, and by affecting opinions about the GM.
Mods, if you don't feel Greg's removal is warranted, please let me know privately. I made this call public to spur immediate action. If that action is refused, I'd like to know as soon as possible so that I can take appropriate personal action. That may range from blacklisting the offender, which will be done anyway, to leaving the site myself. I don't wish to be part of a site that allows or encourages this behavior.
