Food picture spamming is a bannable offence on MTF?

Surely not in the food thread I hope.

Great pictures star, especially the third

This is what I need, but I need someone to photoshop Nole's face in the pic.

star · 01-23-2013, 04:45 PM

omg

I did not see this. http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...nally/1858055/

I dare not look to see what GM is doing with this.

Trollicki · 01-23-2013, 04:55 PM

GM has not yet picked it up. Should I post it there?

Isn't that hilarious? If Novak had said anything remotely like this, it would have been jumped on.

But. Pls don't. It would just be agreed with by all the half-wits there,

Don´t worry, I won´t. And it´s long since been established that Novak (or any of the top 4 really) can not say anything without being criticised for it by some. Can´t really do anything more than roll my eyes at those people and go along with my own business.

What gets me on this board is that you can not insult anyone because of their sexual preference or say anything derogatory about someone's national origin or race, but it's perfectly ok to call women names based on their sex and say anything at all that insults them based on their sex and no action is taken.

Trollicki · 01-23-2013, 05:57 PM

Honestly, I have not noticed that so much in my time on this board (other than the WTA bashing that is). Have you asked the moderators to take action?

Since I registered here I'm stunned by the vast amount of hate.Seems like posters are divided into claques,praise ONE player by bashing mindlessly his peers.I'm sure the players themselves wouldn't be delighted by such low deeds from their fans.

If those things are related to beer in any way, shape or form, even better

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you.

I'm quite busy at the moment, but I'll drop you a PM at the weekend before I go away with a few recommendations. Probably best to do it there rather than on this thread.

I take it that is basic human behaviour that exhibits itself on these forums. Many people have the need to revere something. Religion used to serve that purpose, ideology can serve it and right here it is tennis players that fulfill that role. They identify with them, start viewing them as extensions of themselves on the tennis court even and thus take any criticism of them as criticism of themselves. The players themselves would cringe if they spent a day on MTF.

BTW don´t put down your own English, it is delightful.

I´m looking forward to it.

I had a busy day

This friend of mine studying Gerontology, and now she moved back to Chaves and is opening a company that provides help and domociary services to the elderly, like daily visits, taking them food, taking them to the doctor, etc... And I was helping her all day with paperwork and boring stuff which is not boring for me because I have nothing to do.

Star, we need to get that photoshow work done

And boy did we do an awesome job at that.

If you ever enter GM, just take it all with a pinch of salt. When I first joined, I got all angry at the posters who started bashing a player for no reason, but now I realise it's a waste of my time and posts, when I could be in much more pleasant threads, talking to much more pleasant people, like here.

Paperwork is always boring, no matter how busy one is!!!
