If he over-reacted and you resign then that is loss/loss situation for both of you.
Go for win/win for both of you.
He might regret now,so give him a chance for second thoughts.
Linda.
I will resign from the rookie tournament, I joined when my rating was low.

rwingett,
So you think it is OK to have someone call another one cheater, but it is not OK for the other person to prove it.
This sounds like UNIONS, the laborer can do what ever they want and they will be protected by Unions, regardless of what they did, horrible practice.
My dad said that will resign from that game. I am sorry that he did NOT include the persons name in the message.

Andrew, since you are Brittish, you should remember the terrible coal workers unions and thanks to Thatcher, England was saved.
You cannot have equity among the workers because the best producers would not be satisfied when the lazy workers gets equal pay.
Equity among the workers is the evil thought of the economic development. Look at France now, they are fighting to protect they unproductive and inefficient farmers, bad mistake. We need to produce the farm products in countries like Polen, which can produce them cheaper and more efficiently. The one who have the competitive advantage should produce the product.
It is time to continue with the globalization.
The the book, "Lexus and the Olive Tree," great book about globalization. It is about clashing cultures. There is great TV serie, "The Commanding Heights," which is about the ignorent countries that are trying to live in the past!

I was blamed to have lost a lot of games so I would get a lower rating in order to attend the tournament MOAKT, which did not have a rating restrictions. I am thinking about resigning the second game in order to please my opponent.

I understand your point and it is a good one, but I disagree. I don't believe in any unwritten "code" that expressly forbids anyone from speaking of a private conversation to other people. While the in game message system is a private means of communication I fail to see it as a "confessional" type of communication where either party is forbidden rela ...[text shortened]... ve that the RHP community should be able to counsel them in the matter. That's my two cents. 😉
If the message is perceived of as being abusive in nature, then it would be proper to bring the matter to Russ' attention. However, I do not think that the RHP community has any business being made party to a verbatim transcript of the private correspondance.

Good old thatcher, keep 40% of the population happy, screw the other 60% as you do not need them to win the election. No, Margaret did not save Britain, rather she sent it on a spiral of greed and selfishness that it is only really recovering from.
The coal miners strike became a political issue rather than a employer vrs owner issue. Due to the fact that the British Labour Party had imploded and was an effective an opposition government as a burnt sausage, Scargil effectively took the void and for a while was the effective opposition to the conservative governement. In Britain we are close to a similar situation with certain areas of the media becoming the effective oppostion as the current Conservative Party is an unelective mess (Thatcher's legacy).
As for Unions right to strike which you are alluding too, well, I agree that in a modern society throwing the toys out of the pram in not the best way to sort things out. I mean really, you look at some of the people who are voted into positions of power in trade unions, people who are without a doubt the most corrupt, troublemaking, self serving, politcial agender holding, uneducated, rable of a mafia you could ever find; and you have to ask the question what is going on there! In a recent dispute between the firebrigade over pay their union leader declared he aimed "to bring down the government", well hang on there mate what gives you the right to think that representing a few thousand people gives you a right on the say of a government elected by millions?
So the union system is inefficent, there is no doubt of that. But to be fair, there are many socially responsible Unions who look after their workers interests in an intelligent manner. And at the end of the day, the relationship between employers and employees needs to be a too way street. If employees are unhappy with company policies they need a conduit to express those feelings of the whole system breaks down, if unions provide that then they make the economy more efficient in the long run. If unions do not provide this role than a structure needs to replace them that can.
As for France.... 25% of the french economy comes from agriculture so it is an important issue. That said the French do seem to strike over anything.
When is America going to embrace free trade?

I think people should get a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.Exporting jobs to developing countries supports child labour.
That is not good.

The amount of production must increase in order to enhance the economical growth. Once the product cannot be made efficiently, it is time to get rid of it and let someone else to produce it.
Of course, everyone should be paid a fair rate for their labor, but they cannot have pay increases if the productivity does not grow. Status quo and equity are the death penalties for the countries.
The borrowing in 80s and 90s was the fruit of the growing inflation, which was caused by unreasonable pay increases to non-productive workers.
In order to stay productive, the laborer must continue his or her education even during the adult years. "You" will never be fully educated when you have graduated from high school or college. The learning is an ongoing process, those who will not learn, will fall behind in the economical growth and they should NOT be suported by the productive majority of the population.
The same applies to everyone who gets a driver's license. The license does not state that you can drive, but you are good enough to start to practice driving by yourself. The drivers are usually as most dangerous when they have had their license a year. The drivers think that they can drive at that time and they take foolish chances.
A lot of people criticize the capitalism because they do not know enough about it. On the other hand, most of the people in their youth had some leftist / communist / socialist ideas, but a big part of the population learn enough to change their point of view once they reach middle age.
In my opinion, without Thatcher, Great Brittain would be in much worse economical situation than they are now.
I think U.S. is doing a good advances in their free trade policies. Look at the countries that have opposed free trade, they have all fallen down in economical difficulties. I will be happy when all Tariffs are gone with their import qoutes.
Free trade leads to have the wealth spread over a wider body of the population. All jobs that are protected by tariffs must be eliminated. This applies to U.S. as well as any other country.
Look at the socialist countries, everyone is going down if they have not done it already. Even Sweden, which had a bad socialist regime, is getting back on their feet. As soon as they agree to switch to Euros, they will be able to control the inflation.
Enough of this, I am not an economist, but I have been in the school in 5 countries, studied in four different languages, and visited 24 countries. My 25th country will be China. I am working for a Dutch company which signed a contract with Volkswagen for a supply chain management deal in Shanghai.

You wrap things in nice words like when they can not do it efficiently it is time to let it go to others.Why not call a spade a spade and say if children can be forced to work for us instead of being in school that is better than paying our own people the market price.

Nobody was saying that it was illegal to include a 13-old son in the family's farm chores. All young farmer kids were required to take part.
There are less than 5 percent of the multinational corporations that have been (and probably still use) child labor. Many of the developing countries do not have any social help system for its citizens. As long as the property rights are not defined adequetly, there will not be much economic progress in these countries. The individuals right to own, self-interest, as your great Author John Adam Smith stated in his book, "Weath of Nations," (title shortened) in the most fundamental works in the industrial history of the world.
Look at Russian, as long they had to produce for someone else, the production was very poor in the farming and industry. Once they could receive an economic push for the labor they put in, the productivity went up (and is going up). There are many inefficient factories around the world that MUST be shut down and replaced by more efficient ones. The world is make of scarse resources, which cannot be distributed based on belonging to a certain group, but on productivity.

Originally posted by ebrillaI agree, exploitation is very bad. Give them help, but don't give too much money, but teach the people how to make money. The developing countries will hve their growing pain, but it will be much shorter than it was for Europe and North America.

That is why I am teaching because the "know-how" has to be spread around!
Here in U.S. we have CPA's who are desperately trying hold their grip of the corporations because the demand for them has changed. Nowdays they are mostly used as consultants and not as the auditors as they once were. The area of expertice is getting so wide so the CPA's must specialize. That is happening in all aspects of life. Not too long time ago, people were fixing their own cars when they had problems, by now, it is almost impossible to diagnose the problem without a computer, which cuts out the average "Joe."
