Oh Really?

In Response To: Oh Really? (Frank_N_Stein)

Picking up the wrong dice cups and walking off with them may be an incident and/or an error in judgement. Stealing someone's board is blatant thievery. Banning one from tournaments for life is not the death penalty, he goes on living his life. He's just forfeited some of his rights. Much as felons forfeit forever their right to vote -- and, hopefully, despite the leftists, it remains that way.

In a relatively small community, such as the backgammon circuit, trust and respect is paramount -- I would like to think the individual will be shunned by all if he has balls enough to ever show his face again.
