(...) This is why I have a problem with this. This is such an easily defined rule that it shouldn't be possible to be called a dink for compiling with it. Several people have said they need space at the side of the board. We originally discussed (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Let me explain why some may call you a dink. I've somehow gained the impression that you tend to look for loopholes and exploit them, which is contrary to the general outlook of this organization. People try to keep things informal, yet that (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The rules were set out early without any spacing on the side. For whatever reason (Bruce, me, otherwise), that is the ruleset that was posted. You had several weeks to complain, and no one did until not too long ago. Since then, people may be (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Ok, you're going to have to explain this to me. I can accept that I'm a dink. Mainly, because I play within the rules. Whenever I do anything unusual, I'm a dink. That's fine. If I build a robot that lives right by the common area, I'm a dink. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

That said, I think informally we're all going to be aware of and try not to obstruct people that extend over. So (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
