In Response To: The two-hand rule (Jason Lee)

Too petty in this particular situation. A lot of people also here will pick up both blots and put them on the bar with whatever hand and then proceed to make their move, also illegal and also too petty to call them out on it.

I am with you in general. There's no reason someone can't use 1 hand while moving and keep things neat. Here though the position calls out for some common sense instead of a fight for the sake of fighting. It's not like they're going to move checkers and move them back. It's not like you're going to forget the position because they're going back and forth between plays. Everyone is making the same play here, nobody is considering other plays or shuffling shit on the board around so it may confuse the position. Let it ride this once.
