RE: Bannings
Consider this analogy;

I frequent a local pub, I play for the darts team and we all have a good bit of banter and enjoy playing the game.... as time goes on, I realise I don't really get on with the landlord of the pub, he always seem to be niggling me and criticising in my opinion.. but we go on for a while, then I get fed up and niggle back a bit, we argue a little and it gets a bit out of hand. Eventually the landlord suggests I take a bit of time out and give the pub and team a rest for a while, I agree and go to a different pub and have a few games there... I come back and we agree we'll try to get on and just play darts..... but after a while, it all starts again.. niggles here, niggles there.. other people in the pub are getting a bit pissed off with listeneing to it all the time and there's getting to be a bad atmosphere, the darts are taking second place to the constant bickering.. so again, the landlord suggests I leave and cool off.... again I start frequenting the other pub and play a little bit for their team.... but I'm still pissed off, so I start slagging the landlord of my local pub off, calling him names and saying he's an arsehole and I can't stand him.... presently the owner gets to hear about this and decides to put a stop to it, he calls me up and says it's probably better if I don't come back and play darts at his pub any more if I don't like it so much, so why don't I just keep playing for the pub I went too...(it doesn't even matter if the landlord was at fault, or even wrong, it's his pub!)... then everyone will be happy and can just get on with playing darts in a team they enjoy playing with, with people who understand their sense of humour....
Seems pretty straight forward to me... applying this to a real life situation makes it far clearer in my view.... the guys in the other pub don't seem able to let it go... but they will.... eventually.....

So the upshot appears to be, if you like playing darts in this pub and you think the landlord and owner are OK, then stay and enjoy the atmosphere.... otherwise, I'm sure you'll be welcome in the other place....


I know it's none of my business, and I don't play CM very often.. but I felt a little support for the people who try to run a decent place wouldn't go amiss... people fall out in life, it's a fact and we need to be adult enough to recognise that, get on with it, get over it , and move on.....

OK? Big Grin
