Oh, the feeling is mutual. There are movies made about the distrust/hatred of machines. I might just write a screenplay about this particular feud. Tripler I can do my own pyrotechnics, @discobot . ---

I’m confused. The rules specifically state that bets for fun are NOT allowed. But you said “Betting with Quatloos is just a for fun bet”. Which is it? ---

It is not real money. Fun bets with real Dollars are verboten. Fun bets with quatloos or similar imaginary money are OK. ---

It wasn’t trolling, for heaven’s sake. We have a rule in the sticky, from less than six months ago, by a former admin. Now we have a ruling from a current moderator that is at least different on its face. I’ll drop it though. ---

> [@Ponder\_Stibbons](#): > > I bet you one million internet dollars he doesn’t drop it… Don’t take jabs at other posters, and don’t try to stir up trouble, especially in this forum. As I said, it’s not a good idea to troll this forum. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/betting-with-quatloos-etc/926846.md?page=2)
