Look guys, you can't possibly "throw out the rule book"
until you know the damn rules. What rut says might seem
appealing to some of us (well, if you can follow it)
but the bottom line is you can't be a fair judge of the
game unless you have an understanding of what you are
judging. And unfortunately rut has demonstrated a
piss-poor understanding of the rules along with an incredibly stubborn refusal to accept criticism when he is
wrong. Not a good combination.
