So why is leaning allowed? Tall mf-ers will be able to lean halfway across the table and it won't be fair. This rule needs to be changed. Who's with me?

Same advantage regardless of where the imaginary line is that you have to stand behind....think about it. Also this topic has been discussed a number of times in other threads. The bpong community has talked about this and we've covered about every single viewpoint you can have on this issue already.

Dude, I used to be against leaning, believe me I was all elbow rule. But let me ask you this, have you played in a tournament with referees that watch you and give you a warningt literally everytime you shoot for coming close to the edge of the table. It sucks. While it appears that tall guys have an advantage, they still have to make cups. With 10 cups, a person who knows what they are doing can beat a tall m'fer and if you're skilled enough, you will win. So start practicing and call up Manute Bol to practice against and you'll see after you beat him, there's nothing to it.

After the Ravens game yesterday Jim and I played a bunch of random people. This one girl called up and bitched the entire time about leaning and how she didn't need to "cheat" to make cups. I played left handed, Jim right handed, and we beat them by 3 cups. She didn't even come remotely close to hitting a cup the entire game, luckily her boyfriend wasn't an idiot so at least they hit some cups. She certainly did prove her point though - haha.
