So you've never heard of the "block" feature?    Try it out.  You won't ever have to "listen" to SH again.

Or, if you're afraid he'll say something about you that you can't respond to(because you won't see it), throw your hissy, tell us how you're a "straight shooter" and how you're really a great guy. 

Whichever works for you.

"Sometimes I rub people the wrong way because I am good at this game, and I am successful, some people don't like that I guess."

I don't think you're rubbing people the wrong way because you're "too good," I think it's because you threatened to release your arb-eligible guys and you're making several trades after you said you were leaving.  Why would somewhat be upset with someone else for being good at the game?

There is no "internet pedestal".   Especially on a simgame site.

But one can act like a dick and be called for it.     That's what's happening here.

There is only one person on this thread who is continously complementing themselves.

I agree with Ranger on ONE thing...  Steve is sorta an idiot and insults very quick. I did not agree with him at the start of this thread (And I was not mean) and he started trying to insult me by saying I had a win % of less than .200 :)

True.  Mike gets called on being a dick all the time here.  It is his MO.

This forum is all about internet pedestals, you fancy yourself Mike as Forum Badboy lol.  You can see it in all your posts, constantly puffing yourself up.

I have never come on here, and have never in any of my worlds, complemented myself without cause.  But when internet badboys use the forum or WC to attempt to make a dig at me, yes, I do let them know how dumb they are.  Do I ever start it without just cause?  No.

I'm afraid you don't understand the internet.   Try again.

1. Not once did any veteran come to support Ranger and say Ranger is being a great guy by threatening to ruin his franchise.
2. This thread is about letting other owners know what a person like Ranger can do to a world.
3. Ranger wont leave a great team to another owner, yet his only two world series titles came after taking over great teams. One in the first season he was in a world and one in the second.
4. Ranger you did not get good young players for the best pitcher in the game in his prime. You got almost good players with major faults. A pitcher with 63 control and a shortstop with poor defense.
5. There was no colluding to prevent you from making trades, we were preventing you from making poor trades. I even suggested you check out the mentor thread. I was trying to help you. Much like these latest contract extensions...are those to leave veteran talent to the new owner to give time to develop the top notch youth you just acquired?

Way to puff yourself hoggett lol.

I have never done anything bad to a world.  Or is my threat a reality for you even though it has never taken place?  That's weird.

Yes I took over two decent teams, part of playing this game is being able to do your research and evaluate a team.  I added some pieces and provided good strategy and won some WS.  I also built the Jackson Mud Cats from nothing in Mike Greenwell and dominated.  Guess I can do it both ways?

Your take on my trade is just that...your take.  Use your veto.  Or start a crusade, your choice.

Don't use the we...no one had your back in WC when you were lobbing personal attacks about me, or my trades that I know of.

Remember if you can, you started all of this, you are quick to judge, and you think you have it all figured out.  Ultimately, it is making you look like an ***, and I am sure Mike Greenwell is proud to have you as a crusader.

Show me a personal attack I made on you? I simply state the facts, you threatened to tear down your team, and started to do so and it appears that you have now pulled back from those threats. You still traded a perenial cy young candidate for peanuts, and you resigned 35 year olds to multi year, multi million dollar deals. You also made that terrible first trade that was vetoed. I guess I snuck into everyones account and clicked veto for them?

I can use the term 'we' when 10+ people veto your trade and post on the world chat that you are being ridiculous. Are you going to call the 10+ who didn't click veto on your side?

I don't puff myself up. You're the one who tried to validate your terrible trades on our world chat by saying you have a career in baseball and we should trust your instincts.

Hah.  What I said was rookies should know when to stay in the background and keep their mouths closed.  I said my career playing baseball taught me that as I was a rookie once, and also saw many other rookies come up.

I never mentioned a word about trusting instincts and never intimated that a career in baseball makes any effort in HBD easier or better.  

It was referring to you joining the world and immediately loud mouthing WC last season, and being a rookie in general. 

But as usual, you take what you read and twist it to match your agenda, even if you have to put an entirely different meaning on it.  Hah.

Ranger, stop projecting this 'twist to match your agenda' scheme on me.

You're the one trying to deflect the truth by saying I am making this personal when in fact this is all about you ruining a franchise. You still have failed to explain how any of the two Reynoso trades were good, how sending your SS to monteray was in the best interest, how the resignings of mid 30 relievers to 4m deals is beneficial.

A wise man once said, if you have the facts, pound the facts. If you have no facts, pound the table. The table has long since fractured and hopefully other worlds take notice and keep an eye on you, since thats what this thread is intended for.

I'm just happy to have such a well qualified guy like you to police me and let everyone know the horror I may visit on them.  Makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
