kind of laughable

You need to die (or be suspected of dying) so that Mr Very Rusty can start concerned threads about you.

He is trying to draw the attention away from his sandbagging and giving people points in Clan Challenges. If Administration looked over his last 50 Clan Challenge games he may be taking a vacation.

This confirms we need a rating for Clan Challenges only! Separate from the other ratings, will not stop SANDBAGGING completely but cut back on it for sure!

You do know you really can't believe a word of what comes out of his mouth.

He is talking about kicking my ass in another thread.

He has admitted to being a liar on several occasions.

He does need some help however, and they usually where wear white jackets.

And there was I, planning to write his biography 😉

In many cases it is hard to prove sandbagging in this case at least in my opinion after reviewing many games as I am retired and have the time, it is very obvious.

It is a shame my ex-Clan Leader removed his post about the sandbagging as he was dead on what he was saying, and it was points to his own Clan member. He was letting lemon know he doesn't approve of the sandbagging and didn't want to earn points that way.

We may have not seen eye to eye on everything, but I know my ex-Clan Leader would never approve of sandbagging or my Clan Leader before him who built the Clan.

As I've said so many times if we had a rating just for Clan Challenges, it would pretty much eliminate any sandbagging what so ever. I understand that the coding would be an issue which is a shame. I don't think Russ believes it to be feasible.

Well that is 4 thumbs down and counting, so at least 4 people I am assuming there is going to be more that want to keep the Clan Challenge ratings with the others so they can regulate their rating.

Keep 'em coming be nice to see how many of you there are.

has anyone really been helped by a book?
I went through a period where I read a lot of self help books
Books don't actually help anyone. It is your reaction to the book that determines any benefit received. This is why it's called "self-help". They're not wrong.

One of the books that helped me most and continues to do so upon rereading is Rosenberg‘s book on nonviolent communication. You would be amazed at how much pain and hurt you can get rid of simply by paying attention to how you and the people around you use language. Micro aggressions are literally everywhere and mostly unconscious.

Is Ultraviolence a real word?
(poetic or slang) Unnecessary, unprovoked (usually brutal) violence; violent acts simply for the thrill and entertainment of it.
