I don't think Vit violated the terms of his wager. The bet should have been no posts at Rx for a year but it wasn't.
Whether he's violating "the spirit of the wager" is a matter of opinion. Rules are pretty loose around here and Offshore could actually be renamed, "Off Topic." How many threads are in that forum right now about Offshore wagering?
I haven't opened that room in a week and I'll bet there are none of the non-sticky type on page one. So basically anything goes and politics filters in intermittently.
I wouldn't do what Vit is doing but that's a matter of choice. Losing a bet that imposes a year away from this mud wrestling is like a reprieve. Heck I think I stayed away longer a few years back by choice when things got really ugly in here.
When a kid's parents tell him, "No, we're not getting a dog," is it a good idea for the kid to go and stare into the window of the pet shop everyday? Read this shit and aggravate myself when I can't respond?
Posting here is a time waster, sometimes entertaining and sometimes grating, yet it's something we do by choice. But if that choice were removed I'd find a productive way to channel that energy, probably offline. Take the Get Out Of Jail Free Card and enjoy it.
