Would you kick Michael Jordan off the court for getting invested? Or do you only make rulings when it suits you?

Today was a mistake. While I don't personally support the ruling, I do understand that they had to do it. When the dealer got a win off rip I was already pretty heated. Just a bad, unlucky start all-around. It's whatever.
Then that guy next to me. I felt like I was going nuts. I'm the dealer, I do my thing first turn and he instantly discards before picking up. I called him out on it and he said it wasn't a big deal. So I thought: whatever, a little annoying but it's a one-off. Then he does it again. So I call him on it and say he can't do that and he says talk to an official. So I did just that. They said the same thing, so I went back and just dealt with it.
We keep playing and it's going alright. I managed to win the second round and didn't lose much on the third. We're on the final round of set 1 and this guy from before (who has continued to do the discard shit the entire time, might I add) is dealing. I was doing fine at this point. I was in second and pretty confident I could make it through against these guys. Then he throws the dice and just leaves them in the middle. I ask him to move them and he says it doesn't matter and to stop complaining. So I tell him to shut the fuck up and learn how to play. Apparently I was pretty loud with that cause an official came over and told me I was done.
I'm not saying I was right to yell that, but this guy should not have been allowed to keep playing. He ended up getting through because I got removed too, which is just great.
So, yeah. That's what happened today. I don't expect them to undo anything that happened but I just wanted it known why I did what I did.

Decided to go to my local games club to play for a bit today. First time I've played since. It was fun. I'll probably go again tomorrow.

Online players piss me off so much. Half the skill is completely removed when you play on there and they act like they're the shit. You are not Him, and if we played in person I could read you like a fucking book.

Banned from @playmahjong for "unacceptable offsite behaviour" are we taking the piss. What did I do that was unacceptable? I don't use the chats on site specifically so I don't get into shit for this. Literally just played the game before bed most nights before going to sleep.
But now I'm banned. I made one tweet. One fucking tweet. I didn't name anyone. I didn't even name the fucking site I play on. But some sad little cunt has taken the time out of their day to find my account and report me for it anyway. Get a fucking grip.
I won't be appealing.

Can you all fucking hop off my dick. I didn't realise how much he was going to charge and can't afford it. I just wanted to get something out of it since it's not like he's gonna use it.

@playmahjong please could I get an unban? I've been trying alternatives and they're just not as good. My IRL group is currently on hiatus because the host is planning his wedding and I'm itching to play.

Just got back from the wedding. Was alright but I didn't really know anyone so I only really spoke to the groom. He was off dancing most of the time so I was just sort of stood on my own for a lot of it. I spoke to one other person but she just kept talking about herself so I walked away.
At least Mahjong club is starting again because they can't afford a honeymoon.

My parents' dog died today. She was 4 months old when we got her. 14 years old when she passed. I didn't really visit her much over the last year. She just looked sad, and mom and dad don't really like me coming round. Found out from Jules. I hope she's feeling better, wherever she is.

How do you ban your most active member? Genuinely. I've been there more than anybody. I went out with these people for my birthday. I went to his fucking wedding! And this is the thanks I get?
This is my primary social setting. I don't have a fucking fallback like the rest of you. I don't have other friends. Women don't even fucking look at me so forget a significant other to hang out with. What am I supposed to do now? There's hardly another Mahjong club nearby.
No, @breadstration1, I don't think "not caring about what we're going through" is a valid reason to remove me from my primary social space. Because, frankly, I don't see why I should give a shit that you're poor. You're there to provide a fucking service to the customer. And even if giving a shit about someone is a valid reason to just cut me off (which it fucking isn't by the way), you clearly saw my other tweets, so you know what I'm going through right now. Or does that only apply when it's me not giving a shit?
Don't bother trying to contact me. And tell your hag wife she can give me my spare kit back or my lawyers will be in touch.

Before I go offline to prepare for the tournament, I want to give a massive thank you to @mecandoit for the help with this project. I couldn't have done this without you and I will not forget your help when I win this shit.
To everyone else, I won't be posting until the tournament now. See you all there.

After the publication of this final post, SCP-9698 arrived at the Mahjong Indiana Open, taking Jordan's form at the beginning of its first game. This did not provide any competitive advantage, and SCP-9698 was eliminated in the first round.
