Smeagol's going to the trouble of organizing a private tourney and putting up the money for it, I think he's completely within his rights to exclude someone who's giving him a hard time. Don't know or care if that's actually what happened, I'm not here to mediate endless he-said she-said arguments, but if so it seems completely reasonable.
That said, it does also violate our slapdash tourney icon rules, so the icon prize will have to be removed from the tourney unless Smeagol & Mano can, how you say, squash ze beef.
Also, what blid said.
