You have people that feel like you do, Amerk. Just speaking for myself, I don't want to work myself up over this. Waiting on someone else's pick sucks, but there is no easy fix at the moment. We can advise Albi to send proxies, we can get upset, but we don't have the ability for a quick-fix. I in no way think Albi should be kicked, but even if he was, it would probably take time to get in touch with a replacement and wait for their pick. Nothing we can do at the moment. I agree with you on most of what you posted, (revenge-stalling would not lead to anything good), but I'm trying to not let what's supposed to be fun get me angry.
And, FWIW, I'm also in that generally ignored group, too. Stopped trying to make jokes a while ago, been posting less thoughts and questions lately. I've felt the same frustration with that. Eventually, you get used to it.
