Sorry, Player E has EVERY RIGHT to do EVERTHING in his power to ruin the league.




This may be the dumbest thing I have ever read. You don't like a league, drop it. Don't ruin it for the other 31 people. If you are in an hoenstly unfair situation, I'm sure that many owners will drop at the end of the season and the world will die. Mikey, can you honestly be advocating this kind of behavior?


Yes. I absolutely am.

I'm sorry Mike, but your condescending attitude is a bit much at times. NO ONE has a right to ruin a league just because things aren't being done the way you think they should be. Anyone who intentionally sets out to ruin a league should find something else to do with their time & money. They are too immature to be involved in something even as frivolous as this.


Like I care what you think of MY attitude. If a trade type is approved all season and suddenly it's vetoed because "OK, that's enough. These can't happen any longer", I hope the owner screws the world as best he can. When that happens, people will take notice that inconsistent vetoes aren't really the way to go.

Or maybe they will take notice that it is a bad idea to let guys into the league who are liable to forget their meds.

To-may-to, To-mah-to.

That's really not it.

People want to play an internet game. They'd like to play under the same guidelines as everyone else. When their opponents refuse to allow it, they don't really have any options. I've never seen anyone(with the exception of me) say "I'll re-imburse you, I just want you out". So you get your pound of flesh in the only way possible.

That said, I've also seen crazy bastards make the uber-rapey trade and have a hissy when it gets vetoed. They don't have anything to compare it to because it's so lopsided.

That's a case for better screening.

Ahh, now we get to the gist of it. The only voice that matters is Mikes. He is so enamored of the sound of his own voice that he hears nothing else. Sad little boy who spends 24/7 trolling the forums to look for any ideas or people he can denigrate. Get a life, pal. 104K+ posts? My GOD! Do you do ANYTHING else?Where's that "I Hate MikeT23" thread when you need it.

No, I do nothing else. Next question.

I had opinion. You questioned it and stated your opinion. I said "I don't care for your opinion". Pretty much what you said about mine. Is there a difference?

so why didn't you get your pound of flesh before leaving world greenwell?

if you had another shot, would you have stripped the roster?

and most importantly, would you have sent doc woods to me?

While I advocate such behavior, it's just not me.

you don't need rage to click a button, though.

couldn't you just hit "release all" and then giggle to yourself as the fireworks ensue?

I probably need rage. Or, at the very least, anger.
