As I was next to the receiver of the call, I happen to know he was speaking in a different language, The call was longer than 4 minutes, (I did not time it, but made 3 trades and looked at two books of cards, in the meantime). I would be very upset if my opponent was doing that, just as I would suspect my opponent to be, if I did that. (Social & game curtesy) I don't blame the judge if he is upset, I would be. That was blatant disrespect for him, as well as the rules of the game that should apply to all. That doesn't mean this or any other person has to try and prove what they can get away with at any point in this game (finals or not). I thought that was what made this game stand apart from all other games out there--Fairness!! We all have cells with us, but during a game if my phone rings I try not to answer, but if I think it would be an emergency, I would trust the judge to answer and let me know if it was an emergency and in an emergency, I would have forfeited and left!!!!!
