I fondly remember giving spaceboy MD smackdowns in circuit breaker. The rage and hack accusations STILL bring a little tear of joy to my eye. He's not really a bad player, and I even sorta believe him that he doesn't cheat anymore. Let's just hope he is growing up too. (EDITED)...and in deference to...

I've been on the wrong side of cheating accusations plenty of times. My feelings on the subject are pretty simple. Cheaters, or people who 'modify the game' to gain an advantage are pathetic losers. It's hard to imagine having that little self-respect, but plainly there are a number of people out th...

It might feel the same but there would have to be a suspension of disbelief.

There is evidence that the sexual fantasies of mentally ill people can evolve into reality no matter how sick and twisted they may be, but I'm not qualified to render an expert judgement. It's my opinion however, that anything which reinforces a predatory fantasy is a bad idea.
