- "Wow, how racist!!" - What the hell does racism have to do with any of this? - "I just do not come into any XI servers anymore. I go some where else." Then why are you in here calling us racist? Please do go somewhere else.

Beautiful country.

Nice ride Johnny!

Please stop the rumors. I don't believe for a minute that Toes sucks donkey dicks.

Uh oh. He's off his meds again...

Delighted you play on our servers but understand that our members come first, and we host games and mods they want to play. Yes, some players jump when they're shot at. Then too, some duck. Some run. It's all part of the game. Otherwise, we don't just think we're the best, we know we're the best. Nor do we lack for players. Thanks for posting.

Good for you Acorn. It's a nice home, though you're on the wrong side of Nashville. Should have come to East Tennessee where we have rivers, lakes and mountains and no flooding. Good luck with it. I really enjoy home renovations though I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for it.

Because I thought "Hairy" was a bit much.

Magic shrooms? Hardly.

Heh heh. Truth be told: In Vietnam one night I smoked about three of joints. I had never in my life used any kind of drug. After a time, I started hearing mortar fire and put my dick in the dirt. But no bombs came in though I could still hear the mortars going off. I finally realized that it was my heart pounding and at that moment, I was overcome with extreme vertigo. To move but an inch made the world spin. I finally got down for the night. That was in 1969 and while it was the first time in my life that I had ever used anything, it also was the last.

Well done Stringer

Reminds of the time when Toes and I got together...

As is usually the case, the Birmingham bomber was known to English authorities. I am dumbfounded by what our English friends say. As RobMc points out, it is madness for European nations to mainly react to the consequences of Islamic terrorism rather than attack it head-on. Terrorists operate under a perverted view of Islam. As with the Bible, the Koran can be misinterpreted to condone violence against innocents and so these religious fundamentalists believe they are doing God's work. Logic, then, dictates what must be done. First, the U.S., which provides most of the money, must demand that all NATO nations unite under an act of war against terrorism worldwide. Those NATO nations which refuse to support that declaration with troops and money should be removed from the alliance. The fight must begin within Islamic nations. Not all who follow Islam are terrorists but all terrorists follow Islam, and countries where that is the dominant religion must not only denounce this interpretation of the Koran but mount extensive campaigns against it, including imprisoning those those who condone it - most especially the Mullahs. So long as Islamic nations allow radicalism to exist and to feed upon itself, it can never be stamped out. And so, those Islamic nations which fail to act are the enemies of Western civilization and should be so treated. Islamic nations which don't remove Sharia Law, which fosters fundamentalism, should be isolated financially and economically and if that doesn't bring them to their knees, the next step must be military intervention to bring down their governments. Of most immediate concern is a nuclear Iran, which cannot be permitted. The U.S. and Israel should immediately take out all of that infrastructure. Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism isn't going away until the West comes together to defend itself. It's only a matter of time before that happens. But rather than wait until it's forced, until many, many more innocent people die, isn't it better to act now?

Trying not to politicize this but I heard a report that there are some 3,500 names on the UK terror watch list. In the U.S., we can't act against terror suspects unless they break a law but that's not the case in the UK and I wonder why these people are not simply removed from the country forthwith? Our thoughts are with you. Horrible, horrible thing.

Looks like he's got them back. He shows as a clan member.

Back in the day, we'd occasionally get a player like Real Estafa where we didn't know if he was cheating, or if he was simply the greatest thing since sliced bread. Over time, it discouraged members who knew they couldn't win and when that player came in, everybody left. It created a lot of needless dissension. And so, we'd ban them, not because they were cheating because we couldn't prove it, but because they were ruining the game for XI members. The thinking was that it's our servers and our members paying for them and we would not tolerate someone who was damaging the experience for our own. In effect, they were too good for us. And so with apologies, we locked them out. For whatever reason, we don't do that anymore. But I think that should be reconsidered. Our first responsibility should always be to our members and providing them with an enjoyable experience, and this guy's been the cause of discord in the clan for far too long. Why are we putting up with that? I don't think that just telling members to get better, to quit their bitching and suddenly become world class players so that they can compete with guys like Estafa, respects our membership. We're a world-class clan for sure but if a guest on our servers - for whatever reason - is ruining game play for our own members, that situation should not be ignored. It should be dealt with.

Yup. I heard that.
