It's very nice that certain people provide prize tournaments here and there. But I want to note that this doesnt give them a right to be rude.
I just experienced such behaviour. I play in certain tournament, I have some problems with connection lately and also I am shifting a bit the moves in my games where I have less experience and want to think about strategy in those first. It costs me vacation days, so it's ok in my point of view. And surely the time will come soon I will move faster in all my games.
But back to the thread. This certain person sent me a rude message in caps, citation 'ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY OR NOT'. Time of this message was 6:17 am my local time... Morning about 8:20 I saw this message and started to write a polite answer. But meanwhile this person, which was still logged on, put me to his ignore list, so when I pushed send button, it told me it's unable to send. And this person also removed me from other tournament of his, which has he full right for, but the remaining behaviour I find rude. And if he wants fast tournament, I see no problem to put that tourney f.e. 2 days per move. But I would consider polite if he wouldn't use caps and wait for an answer first before acting the way he did. May be someone from staff can talk with him or send him a message from me or something. I don't know, may be this board is not the right place but it certainly has something to do with tournaments...
