An update from Deucey on T-X…
Margot Says:
Only trolls endlessly regurgitate the past. I got into awful trouble on there for criticising Uncle T so, in the end, it was hard work and not fun any more and I stopped posting a couple of years ago.

Interesting…
September 15, 2015 at 6:24 pm,
I guess that ‘got into awful trouble’ means that it was awful to get to know that Rafa comes from a wealthy family and his parents would have found other possibilities to train him if they had wanted someone else to be his coach. ❓

I do not see the reason why deucey would endlessly repeat why she left tenngrand…she must be missing us really badly…
and to be honest I also did not like her comment about Uncle T…I never reacted to that comment (I think!) since I really liked her posting here and we had some fun commenting…however, why bring it up all the time (after two years!), saying that she used to post here and left due to this and that, why not just let it go…
again, she must miss the tenngrand gang… 🙂 cause we are the best!!!
Vamos!
I don’t go to any other site (true that I can’t be considered a regular here), first TT and now TG. Ricky is our hero 🙂
me too… 🙂
Vamos Ricky!!!
me too… 🙂
Vamos Ricky!!!
and me… 🙂
thank you Ricky
as to deucy’s comment on uncle T, she was not the only one among us to hold this view (to a larger or smaller degree)
She’s not “constantly bringing it up”. 🙂
Another poster on T-X who posted on TT/TG brought up that they used to chat and she just replied. One time..
She gets along famously on T-X and I’ve never seen her picked on or insulted there so I think she is happy she moved on overall but no doubt there are of course some posters who she misses.
ok. I would like deucey to come back….like in the good old days… 🙂

I will respond here instead of violating site rules by posting non-related content on Rafa’s page…

—May I respectfully remind you that this has nothing to do with Rafa and the following site rule:
VI. No profanity.—
===
May I ask where is this PROFANITY? (I don’t know profanities in the English language.)
https://tenngrand.com/social/player-pages/rafael-nadal/rafael-nadal-2015/comment-page-22/#comment-224968
Respectfully, taking the Lord’s name in vain is considered a profanity in the English language.
I thought English was your first language augusta08. If it is not, I am quite impressed with your grasp of it.
hawkeye63 (at 12:50 am),
I use English only to read&write on the Internet.
Wow. It’s very good. You don’t use it in verbal communications at all?
If you don’t mind my asking, what is your first language? I understand if you prefer not to answer.
hawkeye63 (1:36 am),
I prefer.

Was it you, hawkeye? I haven’t visited that site for a while. If you could point me in the right direction, I will look it up.

No the poster’s moniker was obviously Rafa-centric and female. I now prefer to use an objective moniker, relatively speaking, so it is not obvious from my name who is my favourite player.
augusta’s dig at me being banned from tennis-warehouse (a decidedly Federazzi site from which I am proud to have been banned) reminds me of a story.
A bunch of them went ballistic when I said in my opinion that Rafa was the GOAT. What drove them nuts was when I refused to defend my stance because GOAT was just an opinion and listing my reasons would be wasted because they’ve all been discussed ad nauseam and wouldn’t convince anybody who thought Fed was GOAT.
They hated it. A bunch threatened to report me to be banned because I refused to state my reasons. It was hilarious! To me anyways.
Could have been the reason I was banned.
I like the GOAT debate if only to plant the implication that GOAT is subjective opinion – what a difficult concept. You wouldn’t believe how many federazzi will disagree with you. They truly believe it is a fact. It’s hilarious!!!
hawkeye63 ( at 1:14 am),
I think you were banned from TW for the same reasons your posts have been moderated here…
If you think it was for annoying the respective moderators, I suspect you are right.
I don’t regret either.
hawkeye63 says: (at 1:42 am),
Probably it was.
TW, March 10, 2015: “hawkeye63 is courageously sabotaging the Nadal News thread. I don’t think it should be tolerated.”
hawkeye, I am not RITB/Nadalista. I can guess who you are on tennis-x.
Do you talk to yourself? I heard that is a sign of high intelligence!!!
nadalista has a new moniker now.
#Ironic
Maybe we need a rule that people should not bring up anything related to supposedly being banned on another site.
It already exists NNY!!!
II. No personal attacks.
B. Constant harassment (saying they are are an idiotic tennis fan, etc.)
Ricky has thought of pretty much everything very concisely. Must come with years of experience!
nativenewyorker7 ( at 2:05 am),
Maybe we need a rule that hawkeye63 should not bring up anything related to what others have posted on other sites, He has done it for a long time.
No need augusta08.
I was only joking. If you were offended, I am deeply sorry. I won’t do it again. 🙂
Oh, I believe that NNY was joking too!
You’d have to ask her I’m afraid. That has nothing to do with me. I can’t speak for her.
But I do hope you accept my heartfelt apology if you were offended.
this new apologetic and humble person is quite a character… 🙂
seems perfect to serve the purpose imposed by strong site rules and regulations.. 🙂
I don’t deserve this kind of compliment for sure but I am doing my best to regain everybody’s trust here.
#Humb1e
Again a very kind compliment, thank you very much.
But another point I would respectfully like to raise here is that the well written site rules are only strong as you say f they are enforced with fairness and consistency for all, no?
on this appalling day i want to say vive la france!!
i really hope that this doesn’t mean that le pen will win a shedload of votes in the forthcoming elections but am sure she will…
still in shock after seeing the news today…utterly barbaric…
Richard Gasquet was at Stade de France during explosions near it.
http://www.lequipe.fr/Tennis/Actualites/Richard-gasquet-une-veritable-deflagration/607801
He is flying to London on Saturday evening and is going to practice with Rafa on Sunday at noon.
Merci beaucuop!
merci beacoup, rather. Why is it that tennis blogs never have self-edit option?
Vive la France!
when you have an editor as good as me, you don’t need one! 😛
lol, enjoying your sense of humor, Ricky!
what did i say?
oh about the editor thing. Haha.
amy,
Yes! I agree with you about what happened in Paris. I was watching it all last night. Of course the world will join in supporting France. What a tragedy with so many lives lost. A truly horrific event.
I know that ed lives in France, but I am not sure where. I hope that she is okay.
I saw the news bulletin quite by chance just before midnight while changing channels. I knew my son-in-law was at the Stade de France for the football and that my daughter and grand-daughter were at a concert but had no idea which theatre. Neither of them had their phones switched on.
It was 2.00am before I made contact. The longest two hours of my life.
So are they OK, ed?
ed,
Thank goodness you posted! I was thinking of you and your family after watching the horror for hours.
I remember what it was like on 9/11 when I couldn’t get in touch with my family in New York for a few nerve wracking hours. I am relieved that your family is okay!
I am sure this has been a terrible experience for you. I just wasn’t sure if you lived in the city of Paris or somewhere else.
It’s a relief to hear from you!
Interesting thread, by the way. Like.
Luckystar, they are ok as ed was able to contact them at 2 am as per her post.
Lucky, sorry I can see now my last sentence didn’t make it clear. They are now with me here in Honfleur. Even though they live in a quiet area a couple of kilometres from where it happend they wanted to get away from Paris for the remainder of the weekend.
My 15 year old grand daughter is badly shaken because the Bataclan is a favourite haunt and she is trying to get news in case any of her school friends were there last night.
Targeting a club full of teenagers and young people was a particularly shocking act in a night of barbaric violence.
NNY: Thanks for your message. The horror of 9/11 was on a scale impossible to comprehend. I think we all felt at the time the world was never going to be the same again.
A horrible thing ed. So very sad.
I’m relieved that you and your family are all ok.
ed
I think the terrorists were aiming for maximum horror so targeting a club full of teenagers and young people made perfect sense. In Pakistan, a couple of years ago they targeted school children.
Good to know you and yours are fine. Better eat at home and watch netflix movies or TV shows and sports channels.
Ricky is a great writer, excellent knowledge of tennis, terrific sense of humor but he is sometimes guilty of double standards.
Ed, so glad you and your family are OK. It’s tragic that normal people cannot go about their normal business without fear of being blown up or shot. It could happen anywhere to anyone.
ed, just to say that i am so relieved you and your family are ok.
i was wondering about you last night as i know you live in france…terrible times…
paris has evidently become a prime target now which is a grim grim thought….
the city of love and culture turned into this….
