THE DAVID MORE SAGA

According to David More, he had voluntarily refrained from participating in any tournaments since December 2015. I managed to convince him to resume playing in a pleasant and friendly SA tournament in June 2018. He was later invited by a few QLD players to participate in the QLD Champs that took place in August 2018, after being assured that it would be a new trouble-free beginning. According to him, " They were back to their old bullying tactics".

It is really strange that his unwarranted expulsion from QLD Scrabble took place in January 2019, after he stopped playing in their tournaments. Instead, he took part in 3 NSW tournaments, without any problems, as per the extract below:

Every similar story would have two sides.  I am not a member of QLD Scrabble. Therefore, I am not in a position to ask them questions. So, I asked David More the questions and got plausible answers.

It seems like a typical bullying story. The bullies override because of the apathy of the selfish majority, who don't give a damn as long as the bullying doesn't affect them. I have seen this happen too often in schoolyards. The only difference now is that the kids have grey hair on top of their small brains.
