Would note as a 'by the way' the handful of threads discussing changes and improvements to the red thumb subjectivity issue appear to have quite a few of the site's views, underscoring the interest in the topic. Just an observation.

Tired of poor losers today.

I got three red thumbs today after winning each time. I was courteous, respectful, welcoming, and didn't gloat about winning. I felt like I was left with no choice but to retaliate today. What a bad day with thumbs....

Make that two more thumbs down to me from poor losers. I can't believe it. The red thumbs is becoming an epidemic here.

Have just enjoyed the rare (to me) experience of being booted (several times) after joining a game without explanation by the host.
This passive-aggressive approach is very poor sportsmanship-related and seems not in the spirit of the site.

If offended, request an apology, if awaiting others, note such, if wanting to play with a select group, identify or restrict the game to such.
If scared to play or lose, do not open the game to all players. Just a thought.
