Hi, yesterday i was banned from chatting following the use of abusive language- i admit to this.
But i was provoked, i made a comment about how a girl should be fired if she's on this at work behind her bosses back. (i'm sure you would be outraged if you were paying someone to play on this behind your back). This comment was met with fierce resistance and language from 4 or 5 people. I responded, and got blocked.
I am sorry for being abusive, but was backed into a corner by several people, who cared not for the point i was making, and decided i was a nasty person.
I wish for you to reinstall my ability to chat, because i do not wish to play this game if i get blocked for speaking up against someone who is dodging work.
Thanks

Still one of the most ridiculous things i have heard of. For you to get involved is stupid. Why is it any of your business you aint her boss. Who would want to chat with you any way if you can get annoyed by anything

Ok, so you don't agree with my point of view (it's not goin to do me any favours to have this argument again lol, but i just felt a sense of duty, how would you feel if you were the boss of someone who did this?), anyway regardless of whether you agree with my opinion, do i not have the right to voice it without the threat of several players turning on me?

Still dont see how you and her boss are connected but your right people shouldnt turn on you however why get abusive yourself? Do the sensible thing and switch tables. From these few posts you seem articulate so I dont know why you would make a stupid comment.

Yeah, i guess your right. I think i just got annoyed, as i felt people were defending the person, and not the point. If someone had tried to argue against me rationally, i would have been fine with it, but i couldn't take a flurry of abuse and judgements on my character because of my opinion.

woopdoop, I blocked your chat and have read your apology. Your ability to chat is back on.
If you do get into petty internet arguments please refrain from calling people 'c***' or any other form of abuse for that matter.

Enjoy the site and good luck.

Moderators banning people over a one time deal, is getting a little out of hand. If it was something like the people that were posting on CG's profile, then i understand, because they were doing it over and over again. but people are going to get into arguments on the table, especially if they are talking about real things. You can't block someone's ability to chat, just because things get heated. I don't normally go around screaming obscenities, but if i got into an arguement with someone at a table and it got heated, a curse word would most likely come out, as i'm sure it would come from the other person. This is no reason to block anyone. It's not like woopdoop went to every table and screamed at anyone at the table. Mods need to stop Muting EVERY single person that you feel is "bad". If this is how it's going to be... then Ryan should enable the general public to vote when a specific Mod is wrong or abusing power. I'm not naming anyone. but i have noticed when people get muted over little things, just cuz the Mod got offended. It's getting a little out of hand

and Jules... not that i am condoning the word "cunt" but you have to think about where some people are in the world. That word is used a LOT over in Europe... and it's not met with such distaste over there. Its just like using the word bitch in the US. Sure its demeaning still, but here in the States, women don't take TOO much offense to Bitch anymore, just as people don't take "Cunt" to offense too much over there. I'm sure it's still offensive, i never say it to anyone, but if woopdoop is from Europe, then he just might be used to saying it. Should he get blocked for saying something that comes natural to him? I don't think so.
