Re: [Apologies](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=735818)

You had the right idea by tagging thread games in The Game Room. This was the core of the issue at hand - that of discussion vs non-discussion. This new implementation of “GAME”, “[GAME]”, “[SPORTS]” is simply confusing and seems deliberately designed to ensure non-compliance.

I appeal to the denizens of The Game Room and all Dopers at large. Show your love for **Dex** and only tag your thread games as “[GAME]”. Don’t tag anything else; they’re unnecessary.

C K Dexter Haven heard through the grapevine that I needed a liver. He PM’d me offering a lobe of his if he turned out to be a tissue match. When I explained it was for a recipe, he hunted down a local butcher shop and sent me a fresh liver FedEx on dry ice.

Time when I’ve felt sad and blue,  
C K Dexter Haven asks, “How may I help you?”  
Sorrowfully we spoke about the Game Room issues,  
He listened intently … and handed me [TISSUES]!

Love is a little strong unless he wants to buy me dinner first. But I appreciate his work.

When Dex traveled through time to the year 3010, he fought the evil robot king and saved us all again.  
When Dex built the pyramids, he beat up Kubla Khan!
