You know Herman, I have always attempted to help but every
time I try, the LC sides with the cheaters. Just like this last round
when I found a bunch of players that were playing multi accounts
in this league and were playing on HOF. I deleted every one of
their accounts. You know what they did? The went to X-Shit where
they were welcomed with open arms.
They accuse HOF of being a problem board that cheats. We have
never cheated in any league...ever. The irony of it all is every time
there is ever any cheating in a league, it is the LC that embraces
the cheaters and protects them.

And I DO deal with it.

This story that I am telling you is different from that. I do not
react to cheating by cheating, I react to cheating by vocalizing
so that to cover up my truth they have to lie, which they have
done. They have even banded together and lied, how pathetic.

I really don't care if they are amused or not. He who laughs
last laughs longest.

No it won't. I realize that  you truly believe that and in a non-cheating
league it WOULD be the approach to take. There are a few leauges
though, 777 being one of them that the approach you mention does
not work.
