Comments on rules / refs I sent to NA Hardcourt

I don't want to take this the wrong way, but seeing as I am pushing for a rule change, I wonder whether you mean by this

a. I should play by the new rule that I am proposing whilst everyone else continues to play by the previous rules.

b. I don't play by the rules, therefore my views on rules don't count.

You asked Gabes but I'll answer this.

Option a is ridiculous, all players should play by the same rules.

Option b is a perfect example of how to play victim during a discussion. it's actually two points rolled together to try and confuse the casual observer.

Option b part 1. That is correct, you do not play by the rules.
Option b part 2. Of course you can have an opinion on the rules but that doesn't mean that you will adhere to it during game play.
