My standard response is, "What are you trying to say?" (I know he is trying to work us or say that we are cheating without using the dreaded "C" word).

Standard response is "well, it is 7-2" or whatever.

My response is, "OK, you said that already."

If he is dumb enough to go on, I will pin him on the cheating issue until he quits or says "cheat" in some form which, of course, is followed by a T which now makes the count 8-2 or whatever.

The strategy is to put the ball in their court and make them respond to why they want to talk about it. The generally lose interest quickly.

Also for those that think this leads to a path with an "unwarranted" T at the end, he started the conversation and it has to do with me being a cheater. How is that unwarranted?
