The brazilian coach selected "TIE" against Ecuador, obviously. No other attitude would have been logical. We were all shocked when we saw the CT, as anyone else. The BB's said that there is no bug, that it must have been a "mouse wheel error", so we just believed in them and accepted that explanation without any complaints.

It was very unfortunate and no one is more upset about it them brazilians and our coach himself. But not even the brazilian community is crucifying him. People make mistakes. I think it's ridiculous for other people here to call him a "clown" or an "idiot", but I guess some people never change. You don't even know the guy. So we, the decent, honest, reasonable players of this game, would appreciate if you (people that were disrespecting GM-Leonan) would refrain from displaying your arrogance, rudeness, and lack of politeness and sensibility.

Hey, while I did call him a clown (and based on that game I stand by it..) nobody called him an idiot. Somebody did say idiotic management... which can't say is inaccurate...

That is not acceptable management.

Sure, we are told there was a mistake... Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. The action, the management of the game... was idiotic. Was it intended or not?... Who will ever know? But the fact stands

Obviously.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

What YOU classify as "not acceptable management" is not necessarily the golden standard around here. And the point is that there is no argument or reason to justify disrespect. Especially towards people you don't even know.

Yes, obviously. Anyone who assumed anything else about what happened was plain wrong.

What else would you have liked us to assume in the aftermath of that game?

I'm not your brother, I can only go on what I see.

BTW, someone would like to pay tribute to you:

GM-Leonan eats babies.

Great. Keep displaying to everyone here the greatest attributes of your character. I don't know what is the obsession you and some others have with "eating babies". Must be some kind of joke I don't get. But then again I also don't get the reason for all your arrogance, rudeness and disrespect. So I guess it's all part of simple lack of character.

Erm, i'm not in this game to state universally accepted wisdom pearls. I purely state my opinion. I never assumed it's the golden standard. I never knew I can't say what I think either...

All the best

I've been playing BB since the end of season 3 and not once have I ever experienced anything remotely similar to this "mouse wheel error".

Well, it has happened with several other people, as many came forward and said it so after this more "famous case" now.
PS. I really don't like the way you classify all Canadian managers as arrogant and rude, while you say the Brazillian managers are nice and respectful. It's very ignorant to classify people based on group. You have a bone to pick with someone, do it. Just don't generalize.

wow there! I never said that! I was refering especifically about the people that disrespected GM-Leonan calling him a clown, making jokes about what happened to him, or calling his actions idiotic. I made that clear, just didnt want to write down their especific names. I did NOT, in any moments, make any generalization about canadian people, or even about brazilian people. What I said was:
we = "we, the decent, honest, reasonable players of this game" (nothing about being from brazil, people from any country)
you = "you (people that were disrespecting GM-Leonan)" (nothing about canadians)

raonne, you really have no case here.

I do have a case. My case is about respect. I grew up being taught that are no grounds for disrespecting people in these world. People should show respect to everyone. In this case is even more disgusting, since people are disrespecting someone that only made a mistake, that is having to pay the price already for his mistake, and doesn't deserve to be called names.

And again, I know the disrespect here was from certain elements, not at all from the whole canadian community. I like Canada and have a few very good Canadian friends.
