...And since by now, we have elaborately documented the bad habits, how about switching to the Good Habits in playing go?

--Stefan


Also see Gorobei's comments in Sow Discord In The Enemy's Camp - now that's what I call mean strategies :o) --Arno


I was wondering wether playing go at work is a good habit or a bad one :o) --Lezogzog


[1] Jan de Wit writes: Are this one and SocksAside for real? I've heard Go players can become quite weird, but this... It would be fun to distract your opponent like this in a non-serious game :-)


I was playing a game at a local go club last week. During our game, my opponent put a go stone in his mouth and kept sucking it all the time during our game.
I was really glad that he forgot to put it on the goban later....Yuck! -- MarkD


Neil - When playing on the internet, I wonder, should we be more tolerant of youth who carry some of these habits? I'm torn. I hesitate to blame kids for being kids, but at the same time I play the game to play, not to teach other people's kids good manners.
