Thanks everyone for contributing to this thread. It has given me lots to think about. With the move, the new house (first time home owners!), the new job, family, the World Cup, and finding a good soccer league in Milwaukee, I am definitely taking a break from playing online for a couple of months. I suspect when/if I come back my game be stronger than ever. And the break means I got more time for TP.com.
PS-Despite all my liberal, touchy-feely “lets make the world a better place” tendencies, count me among those that hate stupid people. Maybe just our definitions of stupid are somewhat different.
