HOLY SMOKES!!! I think he maybe finally getting my drift.
Yes - a double standard, exactly.
I'm doing it to show what you did was wrong.

You wanted people to tell you how to use the SFW bug just like I want you to
tell me how you got around the barrier. If you won't tell me how to get
around the barrier then you shouldn't have expected them to tell you how to
use the SFW bug.
Like you said, once the bug is reported it becomes a "feature". And as such
part of the rules. I've read the rules numerous times but I don't know how
you got around the barrier. You knew the SFW-feature but didn't know how to
use it to build up your aura.
You want it both ways and I hope that I have showed that. You want to keep
your secret of getting around the barrier and you wanted them to tell you how
to use SFW.

You can hold what ever opinion you want. But using this movement BUG
without telling EVERYONE about it was wrong.

Well, now you are starting to scare me. I hope your not trying to say since
you wrote the rules you should be winning? Perhaps that is why you are so
upset that they were able to get a leg up on you. It wasn't in the way you
planned Olympia to be. And since you wrote the rules then it must be wrong.
I'm sorry. I don't want to insult. Just I want to be in a very fair
environment. And if I believe that there is a hint of preference then I will
get extremely defensive. Perhaps that is why you say I'm "abusing" you. I
truly am not after you, just your actions.
