I seems to me that "vile, foul-mouthed abuse, and untrue slanderous accusations" is not only redundant but inaccurate, exaggerated, and further evidence of his poor sportsmanship.
Geronimo is the kind of guy that will bait you into a nasty argument, which NEVER happens in Diplomacy games (right?) and then run to the modersated the first time you say a naughty word. He's the kind of guy that will insult you to no end and then cry like a little girl at the first harsh word against you.
He's also the kind of guy that will stab you in one game because you attacked him in another. And he'll chase you across four games trying to get revenge for it. And when all of that fails to work, FIVE times, then he runs to the moderators and tries to have you banned. And when that doesn't work then he blocks you.
So if you prefer to play with a player that with start outrageous arguments with you and then run to the moderators, attack you across several games, and carry on a grudge over a game forever, then he's your guy. My life and gamin experience is much more pleasant with him him as well. So I'm glad he's too much of a coward to play with a player that he cannot beat fair and sqaure. I've argued with almost everyone on this site, bitterly with many, but everyone gets a clean slate in each game and I don't carry grudges. Those of you who have played against me know this is true. And well if you've played against Geronimo, well, you know what he is too.
As a fan of the WW4 games I thought that I would try to play, and when Mapu solicited signups I tried to join, but I'm not allowed to. I think everyone deserves to know why. He's had his say on it, and now I've had mine. You've got five days still to fill up, so you're in good shape. Good luck
