You do. Where have I said otherwise?

I'm not.

As I've said many times, you have the right to associate with anybody
you like.
Where we differ is in the method you use to determine if someone is a
jerk.
You say you can determine that by their online persona. I claim
otherwise.
Someone can be a pain in the ass online and still be a pleasure to play
with.
That point has been proven over and over at RSG events all over the
country.
So judging someone strictly based on their postings here is folly.

I've noticed that many people here like to have things fall a certain
way. Everything must be black or white. Everyone must take a side.
There is my way and the other way. If I am right then that other guy
must be wrong. People are either good or bad.

Well guess what? Life ain't like that. It isn't all Black or White.
There are many shades of gray in between.

We also differ in another area. I say it is extremely unfair to burden
the host of a RSG event with your petty differences from online. So a
simple pairing request is perfectly ok. Giving ultimatums to the host
is not. As a host of a prominent RSG event yourself, I figured you
might agree with this.
