Yes, Tommy, we can see that you helping us with every little click of your mouse

Still, if you guys do not intend to get back to relevant questions, how about I freeze this thread for a few days... what do you say?

Jim T,
The only useful thing I learned in HS was typing. At over 100 WPM I can do a lot of damage here. Personally, I think this whole post should be tossed in the scrap heap, but then we go down the dangerous path of censoring.

This is indeed a fine line we are walking here... on some other forums I frequent, this entire thread would have been heavily edited and very likely closed by now.

Talk to Swiffers, he might have some grand ideas about moderating this forum.

I agree that mods should be more careful than your average forum member.

However, don t forget we are forummers as well, and we are free to post our opinion on the topic we are discussing here.

I still think we should suspend this for the time being but on the other hand I don t wanna be a harda$$... what to do, what to do...?

I know!

Let s go back to discussing whether ITTF s policies are still hurting our beloved sport - and this time let s refrain from yelling bad words and throwing feces at Sharara or at each other...

"i havn t thrown feces at anyone in anger in some years now."

Sling it!!! BTW, what the heck is this post about anyway?

i think that youre forgetting something important, that the people of every country want to see winner athlets, i live on mexico, and like almost all the latinamerican countries the soccer is the ruling sport, mexicans, like brasilians, argentinians, colombians etc, they go to the streets to celebrate their winnings on soccer like the americans do with they football or baseball teams, so here in latinamerica do you think the people want to see table tennis on the tv if they can see a national soccer team match, or a local league match or an european champions league match?? i dont think so, why table tennis never will be on tv on united states??, because six pack joe likes more to see tiger woods winning on golf or the worlds strongest man, because of the ten contestants 6 are americans or the nascar racing, because most of the drivers are americans, or billiards and poker tournaments theres a lot of americans to, instead of see two asians, or two europeans, or an asian vs. and european in front of a table hitting a thiny ball, when table tennis is going to be popular in US?, well, the day when an american is on a world championship or olympic final, maybe that day table tennis is going to be popular on US, because six pack joe will see an american with a chanse for win something.
