    I would still like to know what was offensive from an earlier post and what was so offensive in the deleted post that was any worse than someone calling me a zealot ?
    I 'm writing this metaphorical
    zealot : a person who has very strong opinions about something, and tries to make other people have them too
    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...english/zealot

    What you said :
    Personally I think tanking is for weak minded people who look at something and say to themselves thats too hard so I am not going to try. My guess is these same people do the exact same thing in real life.

    You started this, presenting your personal thoughts in a thread (not only this) which only talking about the game.

    You are wrong to use the word zealot in relation to me. Sure I have a strong opinion on this subject but show me anywhere in any post in this thread where I have tried to impose my opinion upon others. I have shared a personal opinion which seems to be something reserved for the "older players" and not for the newer ones like me with only 13 seasons played and look at the way you all reacted to my personal opinion. It was as if I had hit you with a big stick in a personal attack upon you. I dont know where you all come from but where I come from a personal opinion is just a personal opinion and is usually the basis for conversation or debate so all I can say is I am glad I live where I do so free speech and expression can be used and encouraged. It has become obvious to me that some of you live in places where it is discouraged or not the normal type of basis for conversation which I find very sad. Sorry was that too close to an opinion on something for you all? If it was then I apologize before you all become outraged again.

    Now back to the topic at hand which is chiefly to stop illegal formations crippled tanking. So why are people who use illegal / unusual formations to benefit their tanking even making comments ? Surely this is a conversation to get suggestions of ways to stop some of the things that you do. It , by the title of the thread , certainly isnt supposed to be a conversation about the merits or demerits of the use of these formations as the basis for tanking but that is how it turned out. Why ?
    Surely all you tanking officionados should start your own thread along the lines of - The best illegal/ unusual formations for tanking , what are your secret formations or something similar. Then we can all join in and derail that thread just like you did with this one.

    In general I'm neutral about tanking, but some situations are to be avoided.
    For example, I'm contending the league with another team (3 points below me) and tomorrow we´ll play against in the last game of the season.
    Today I'll play agains an inferior team and my rival against a tanker (129%).... who decided not to tank in this match! I'll win easily both game with this tanker due to those silly formation, but my rival won't have the same treatment. That's totally unfair! If you want to tank, ok, but must treat the same way all the players...
