In end it s all up to host Agreed. But the host needs to be a strong individual and not allow himself to be manipulated. I think virtually any player will try and manipulate the host in order to get the type of game they want and the players they want to play with without the hassle of actually hosting (not to mention the right team ). But if the host allows himself to be manipulated in this way it means many wasted minutes in the staging room and often no game at all.

The admins are not protecting MLL, the players are the ones who arent gonna play with somone they dont like, the admins do not need to force this
I myself will play with MLL because I like beating noobs

I recall hosting a ren teamer that you were considered a noob (newbie more accurately) - I think I said (as he quotes himself - is this proper?) "No one is getting booted in my hosted games!"

First, no matter what anyone thinks of MLL, it is not proper to call him out in a public forum such as this. We could very easily be having this conversation without throwing him under the bus. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I am sick and tired of the public flogging of ladder members, inside and outside of games. If you have a problem with someone, bring it up to them in private and try to resolve it. If you can't, take it to the admins in private. The forums, the lobby, staging rooms, and in-game chat are not the places to be talking crap about people. Well, for example by my personal policy everyone who breaks some rule automatically loses a protection of a said rule. I think it's just fair. So, since MLL indeed talks a lot of crap in lobby, he automatically loses a "no crap talk on forums" immunity.

So, since MLL indeed talks a lot of crap in lobby, he automatically loses a "no crap talk on forums" immunity. Their is an English speaking saying that goes something like: "Two wrongs do not make a right." I think this is an applicable case for it. I do understand the perspective you have via un-respectful behavior. Their is another saying in the English language: "You have to be able to take the same medicine you prescribe." Being reminded of how it may feel to be a recipient of a treatment may be the quickest way to empathy. This is a tough call to make. Though I am inclined to go the patient route. That is to treat others at least as well as the way you would like to be treated.

Other way round, palm in nails out is the FO gesture, palm out is the victory (or peace) gesture. Winnie was famous for his Victory gesture so I'd say that the picture's been doctored

Winnie was famous for his Victory gesture so I'd say that the picture's been doctored He actually switched half way through the war when he learned that it was considered a vulgar gesture by some. It's actually called the bowfinger as an insult ... legend has it goes back to the medieval times. The English bowmen were reknowned and deadly so deadly in fact the French got into the habit of cutting off their two fingers when captured. The English bowmen when facing the French would give them the bowfinger ... saying see I have them so you bastards now pay. Bowfinger was also a movie by Steve Martin with Eddie Murphy ... implying up yours Hollywood. So what was this thread topic about ... ? ps ... that signature gif is a little much ... sure going to fill up the forum pretty quick if you post a lot.

It doesn't show anymore. I fully intended the avatar to be construed as the Victory sign. Honest.

When i first played with mll we did not get along to put it nicely.(mll is a male btw so masculine pronouns apply) After that game I would not play in a game with him. But after our heads cooled off for a week or so we talked in private chat and worked things out. He has the tact of a worg but other than that he is a decent guy

The host has ultimate control who comes in and who doesn't. Only the host can determine if he/she wants a specific player. This is not controlled by an entrant, but solely the host (they are the only ones with booting capabilities). So if you were booted, it's because the host decided too. Either way, it's also your freedom to start your own game. One thing I do, I have a blacklist. Players I will not play with, or do not accept as hosts. If a player wrongs you, perhaps there's ways around it. I haven't booted a player (unless non-ladder), but I certainly remember those who treated me well and those who didn't. No rules were broken, it's more like unsportsmenlike conduct.
My question for MissLadyLuck is-why would you let a player force you to decide something. If I get a player like that who wishes control, I consider booting him or I ignore him and he can play or leave, it's his choice.
