In an effort to internationalise the game, a group of nutcases periodically revise the allowed vocabulary. Scrabble vocabulary developed into a bizarre jargon claimed to cover words from other languages. If you only play with friends, use any dictionary without the word "Scrabble" on its cover. This blog is primarily concerned with competitive Scrabble and the incompetence of some of its custodians..

MORE INSANITY





If you are a sane person playing competitive scrabble, you would have realised by now that you managed to survive in a madhouse. If you are an active nut in that house, you would also be parading your stupidity on the so called “social media”. This post is for the benefit of some clowns on “Facebook”.

Well Mr/Ms Anonymous, you could’ve simply glossed over the post. It only concerns the characters in the photos. But if you insist the post emanated from the following cut-and-paste snip emailed to me by a friend:

Rod Casey Tut, tut, Paula.....you shoud be holding the bag at eye level!.......if the Scrabble Detective finds out, you could be excommunicated!

Sad you guys still pillory totally innocent Mohammed who never cheated, and never named anyone who was, and only asked the Committee to enforce its own rules.... and as a member of that committee I can tell you EVERYONE of us agreed we had observed cheating within tournament play in the Association... and how about you check up on the "eye level rule" you say is in place instead of continuing the cowardice and misinformation against Mohammed.. don't forget the Magistrate's Court threw out all the committees false claims false findings and false punishments yet Mohammed magnanimously shouldered the huge cost of his win so members like you wouldn;t have to shoulder the committee's bullying costs.. and do you ask why the committee charged $1600 of costs to members in the last AGM... grow up, no wonder Vic Aspa got trawled through the media and is a laughing stock in its death throes. Also don't forget I have a superb copy of the bullying jibing and heckling that Paula shamed herself in along with others at the 2014 AGM.. waiting to take action on. Vic Aspa is now either bullies, bullies' mates, hecklers, bystanders or naives.. absolutely tragic.. waiting for nature to see the deadwood turnover, you won't see my children playing in such a dangerous environment.

Dear Rod,
I would like you to know that I hold no grudges against you. Your attitude is similar to that of the majority of ASPA members, who would take sides without much knowledge of the real issues involved.

As to the specific incident of Facebook, you have done no wrong. I know you like a joke. It was a minor forgivable slip. The blame is on those who exploited the situation and added the stupid twist in order to cast doubts about my person.

Your sincere and profound apology is typical of a good person and wood not fall on deaf ears. It is valued and appreciated by me.

Did you notice the typo "WOOD" instead of "WOULD"? So much for Scrabble being a means of improving spelling!
