I would not like him leaving, but neither can I watch players getting "stolen".
Well, that is ALL I could say about this topic.
Sometimes, it is better to forgive your foes, this annoys them the most.

Thank you KeeKee for an useful lecture on linguistics. I will remember it next time. English is a secondary language for me and I try to use it as well as I can. My native language has completely different grammar and vocabulary and I assure you I could have found much better ways to express my thoughts in it. OK, since you obviously found it impossible to understand what I was saying in English, I'll try harder.

To kill someone in a moment of fury is bad, but understandable in some situations. To kill someone in a war is bad, but it's your duty. To deliberately make someone innocent's life impossible up to the point where they kill themselves is different from bad. To plot against someone and use deceit to make their friends and family kill them is different from bad. It's not just a different degree of "bad" it's a completely different act that needs a different word to describe it. It's ********* (insert proper non-religious replacement for the word "evil")

Now, returning to BBB, as you call him, 14 is a good age to learn that bad actions have consequences. I agree that he also has qualities, but, as bigger power comes with bigger responsibility, using your qualities to hurt and deceive your friends, is... that word that will replace the stars above. I think he's old enough to start being responsible. He needs to grow a conscience and you have no right to give him forgiveness for something that hasn't been done to you.

I agree, but according to KeeKee, his grandmother, he cried when she asked him about it.

I think he feels bad enough.

As a person who has done similar actions in the past, I can tell you that it is a stage.
<Kage_Jittai> ... are you saying I am elite :D

I kind of hope that, Kage. I wasn't aiming for public speeches, but for an internal change. I may have been harsh on him, but what I said is true and it's good for him to feel himself some of the sorrow and bad feelings he has brought on others so maybe he won't do that sort of things again.

:lol: Excuse me Kill3rZ, but I can, and shall forgive anyone, anything I so choose to, and that is my business, not yours to dictate to me. He has brought me into this situation and brought clouds over my reputation in doing so. My choice is to forgive him and allow him to learn and grow from his mistakes. Whatever you choose to do is your business.

:) Thank you Kage. You and Bjorn have shown more compassion and kindness than anyone else involved. I appreciate that more than I can say.

I stand corrected. As long as you forgive him, it's all right again. The hell with his victims. It was probably a sin for those people to own so many items and GP in the first place (bunch of greedy capitalists) . BBB is a modern Robin Hood: taking from the rich and giving to... himself. He is my new hero and I want to be just like him when I grow up!

KeeKee, I hope you do realize that publicly defending him in a way that is showing no respect for the feelings of the people that got hurt (some of them cried too that day, you know?) will only bring more hard feelings toward your grandson.

No kidding. It took those people months to get all of those items, and BaseBallBoy swiped them away in a few days.
Lazy bum.

It's just a game here ... can you please stay focused to Iranian people sufferings ?
I would agree if this thread's topic had anything to do with Iranian people sufferings.

BBB did give them something in return, they are now aware of the importance of using different passwords for different servers of course this isn’t justification for his actions

Actually it just makes the remaining rares and money more valuable (rich capitalists just got richer and I realize that you are joking )
