JQT says: Mike, I never did directly thank you for your truly kind efforts in engaging with the disruptive character in several games earlier this year, as this was an admirable attempt at inclusion, or at least distraction, but sadly it only served to delay the moment he would finally derail into a series of unwarranted and unprovoked attacks. We can only speculate at the source of his anger and frustration: perhaps an extremely rough childhood, or an abusive parent, or some trauma that he's never been able to fully deal with or overcome. This game of Cribbage is always extremely welcoming to all people of all types, and I cannot remember such a miscreant in this game, although the behavior exhibited is often seen among those who live anonymously on social media. This group should probably require real names and contact information to be held at least by the site administrator, so that if such an event occurs, we can at least contact the authorities in the home town and perhaps the employer of any individual who displays such erratic behavior, as those with truly serious mental issues have often gone on to do much harm to themselves and others. Anyway, I didn't want your sincere efforts to engage this individual in a kind and peaceful manner to go unnoticed, for I feel strongly that it was probably this type of kind, peaceful, benevolent behavior that might have been lacking in this person's past, for it is during that time as a child while growing up that we develop our civility and kindness, traits clearly lacking in this particular individual, someone who truly did exhibit some skill and fondness for the game, but who cannot control his anger. As I have often stated, I think all hatred is self-hatred, and sadly we see its effects growing in many parts of the world, and while Cribbage has been largely immune from such people and such behavior in the past, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that it has touched our shores. ☮
