Re: I think I now understand Cohen
[censored] panther you are a pain, only partially quoting me. The second quote was in direct response to you. the first, as I said, was in the context fo the discussion; namely re. [censored] Zap threatening to throw the game. As such, one mention of lintman before you started accusing me of overreacting to a post I barely considered and was quite irrelevant to what I was discussing.
lintman's original advice was "horrible" as I said, given that who it's intended recipient was. Encouraging basically self-centred anti-social behaviour to someone who was considering ruining the game as a tactic isn't a good thing; even if some of his advice, in general, was cogent.
But encouraging someone who threatens to throw a game, when they are still a huge power, to "go kamikaze" so that people will not in future games be willing to "mess with you" really isn't productive advice, IMO. Let us remember that the person he was threatening to go kamikaze on wasnt' his "nemesis", and hadn't even made any sort of attack. Rather, Zap was threatening to throw the game to Storm, who would be the best choice for being his "nemesis." There is all sort of advice that may in general be fairly good, but can be terrible when given to a certain individual or in a certain situation.
Panther, as well I would suggest you cut down on the ad hominem insults, w/ which your Posts have been rife.
