Hello

As you can see I have been here for a while, I love billiards and anyone who has played me (and talked) will witness, I am a (English) gentleman.

I have to reply to .goon.'s post, and I don't want my name banned either lol, and this is why..... 

The word 'git' is not even vulgar let alone a swear word. It is a petty put down and used in humour and friendly familiarity. 

lucky git, sly git and handsome git, aswell as clever git, are what my friends call me.

I was suprised by this situation with .goon. I thought maybe he was banned because he used the same word in his name and it was a name copying issue. But I dont give a hoot, so long as the name isnt almost the same...its only a small word.

I have been here playin 99.9% only this name since Mar, 2002. I have thought of changeing my name because people might think it 'odd' and I dont get as many challenges, but its a joke and I want to keep the same name for a long billiard career.

clever git
a git and clever, lucky, sly and a handsome gentleman.

hmmm .. quick question .. does that mean i gonna get a dem for callin someone a cheeky git?? .. which i think is more of term of endearment .. not offensive at all.

exactly

ty :D 

funny how git is a debatable word but willy is not…dont you english fellas know what it means?

maybe someone was in a bad mood that day...how else do you explain the discrepency. Cornish git has always been a nice and friendly opponent, he should get his name back...

ty vm all u are all a star as u all no i dont swear and maybe be a bad typer lol ..but that all my offense ive dun soo ty vm for your reply's see if we can make a change lol ...... 50%=50%

The name "clever git" does not break the above rules, but "Cornish Git" does, purely because of the fact the name includes a regional area of a country. Someone born in that region, or who lives there could legitimately complain that the name breaks the rules.
