That does not mean what you think it does in this context.

And IdrA doesn't need to play like Stephano. He doesn't want to, and has openly stated that he doesn't really like it even though he acknowledges it as the best way to play in the current meta-game. Given time to practice other styles that he prefers or an overall meta-game shift, IdrA will be back on top.

No, please drop it. They are wrong. It's correct. They only know the economic definition. I used the general one which is apparently not very well-known in the US. There is nothing to discuss here apart from "well where I come from this is how we talk".

I'm right, they are wrong, with a jab at Americans? Nice
I speak French as a first language and your explanation doesn't make much sense. I suggest you try again without being condescending.
If you mean IdrA should take on a more carefree attitude/not care so much about things that don't matter in the end, I'd tend to agree. "let it be"

IdrA seemed in a pretty good mood during ITG. The "last bonjwa" thing was pretty funny.

That ended up being cancelled, it was roughly at the same time as IdrA was out of town for family reasons. I'm sure it will happen soon enough! Looking forward to it.

"Laissez-faire" is a commonly used expression in English, but it does not carry exactly the same meaning as it does in French. In English it means "hands off" or a way to approach something that has a lack of interference from someone/something else. It's typically used to describe an economy, but not always. In French, it means more along the lines of "relaxed" or "easy going" (I'm just assuming this is true from what I have read here), but it's awkward to use it that way in English since it is a common English phrase with a slightly different meaning.

Given the fact that the topic involved Stephano, I guess it was appropriate

Hey, I'm printing the letters and stuff right now, and I'll be packing it for shipping in a few hours. If you haven't yet, please at least make an effort to send a short note to idrA. Just PM or email (donaldwsjr@gmail.com) the letter/note/ect. to me.

In fact in french we use this expression in the same way than in english. When we say "Il y a du laissez-faire", it's means that some things are done without any questionning, without any constraints.

BTW, I don't think it's what Idra needs. He need to keep back, focus on the game and the ways he could be better (and he can). For that he must forget all imbalance shit when and before he plays, just play each game like if it was ladder vs a random noob. Just cold and pragmatic.

Completely agree. Just clarifying. I've said it once (actually like 3 times), but I'll say it again. IdrA has stated several times that he doesn't particularly like Stephano's style of play, while he agrees that it is the best in the current meta-game. Once IdrA figures out the right style for him or the meta-game shifts into something he can agree with, we'll see IdrA make he resurgence.
