hecklers and conspirators about many things I've done in the game.
Everything from hosting tournaments to the Shootout Rule system and using the box were at the top of many people list to try to mock and dissuade others to try. I had guys calling good coaches across the country telling them not to play in the CBSMF, and would swear those calls were never made!
I guess if I would have had that attitude of "Just go away" as so many of my contemporaries wanted, maybe some good things about the game may have never happened.
I thank God I stayed in the fight. But trust me, I was harassed and mocked a many day on these chatboards.
Too bad I don't have that type of spirit to be discouraged. We will have many guys watch. And yes, we run plays just like we run plays in competition leagues. And guys can get on and harass each other in that same manner.
No one form is better than the other form - it's just your preference. I just get this feeling that maybe it's this elitist notion that since you play alone, something must be wrong.
Trust me, the solitaire guy is just as knowedgeable of the game, socially equipped, and intellectually stimulated as guys who may spend months finishing a 10 game season.
It's just preference my friend. I just say, "Don't knock it til you try it". And I hope some of you other Solitaire players are not scared to stand up to nonsensical rhetoric aimed at labeling you!
