I do agree with you Peter that one may become very dispondant as a member of
this group, I also feel that in cyber space that is this modern e mail thingie
some people do phrase/state/respond in ways that ( hopefully ) they would not
dream of face to face ( even Stuart ).
But I am very disappointed that I will not be meeting you at Britcon and
allowing you to buy me a pint ( for no reason what so ever ), I have even been
considering a regular Sp(O) army, in some degree inspired by your commitment to
HI armies ( probably Thebian or Spartan ), the other reason I was considering
them would be that any opponant would be laughing so hard I might win the games
by default.
I am sorry you feel the way you do.
William
PS Mr Barker does not respond much to me either, I usually frame the responses
and mark the calander.
PPS I do feel people/posters should remember that all this is supposed to be
fun.
... I agree -- despite the public, & IMO un-deserved & un-fair, insult I got from him this morning. I'd say more, but I really don't feel like stooping to the...

Peter, I think this is a massive shame. We only played once, when you totally trounced my Ostrogoths at MK but I have really enjoyed chatting to you around...
I would have to agree based on my limited expereince. Peter was very patient and sympathetic to some aspitring "newbies" at Derby last year, taking time...

Yes to all of it William!!! Those of us who still love the hobby are busy hiding in the trenches while the constant bickering and arguing goes on around us....

... Alright, alright, stop nagging, I think I may have some of those slingshots ( though TBF my membership has lapsed ), do you have any idea of the numbers or...
Dont go! Not only are you a gentleman and a pleasure to play but you always post what I want to say, but more cogently and more pursuasively than I can....
Ray, I am afraid you are too late. Peter has withdrawn from the Yahoo list so will not see these messages. Like you I think this is a sad day for us and I...
... I think it's a shame - I generally found him to be someone whose opinions I would respect and take seriously, even if I didn't agree with them. On this...

... DR: Excellent. Another player lost to an ever shrinking community. How small does this community need to get before changes are made to the game balance?...
... We will see if 1.1 will let you play more or you will just keep a big mouth attitude with no table experience. ... We had 20 italians at last DBMM tourney....
... DR: Well, that would depend on the changes made. I have lot's of "table experience" of DBMM, largely from a couple of years ago. Nothing in the game has...
Ahem, I think this is a reference to Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned. (implication that you are ignoring the catastrophe happening around you. (IMHO)...

Well, if this is the meaning I don't see any catastrophe here (at least at hobby level). Anyway as I already said once, I can speak just for my country, while...

I was going to make desperate plea that he stay. Too late apparently. Lets hope 1.1 is the brillant stroke Phil is capable of. Maybe this will cause him to...
