I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are…

Mr. Asterisk himself doing a Freddie Mercury impression. LOL indeed.

When you say literally, I assume you mean “a significant percentage”. It isn’t literally everyone because the a very similar thing happened to me and I was mad at myself not anyone else. Ok maybe a little mad but I didn’t tell anyone to F off. And I am pretty much the type of guy to tell people to F off.

You didn’t experience his circumstances, TJ, as far as I know. You DID forget to renew, which was where the similarities end.

He contacted CS, and was told everything should be fine, no sweat. Then when someone else got the position, he was told, oh whoops, I guess that must have been a late entry, well contact the other coach and work something out. He did that, and the other coach said sure, I’ll look around, then didn’t.

He has a valid complaint about how this worked out on a number of levels. I mean the word literally in the traditional sense, every single person who spends time and money to play HD would be royally ****** if these circumstances played out for them.

ETA, and I would guess well over half would tell people to go **** themselves, if those people posted their rant in the forum and tried to shame them for it.

"I mean the word literally in the traditional sense, every single person who spends time and money to play HD would be royally ****** if these circumstances played out for them."

Maybe a majority would, considering the levels of maturity and entitlement around here. But some would realize their mistake, own it and move on, nothing more.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Are you from the generation of not letting things go?

I meant what I said to you and KC in the moment. I said my piece and I move on. I’ve never once said I am entitled to anything. I made the mistake of not renewing. I was ****** that someone agreed to something informally and then went back on it. The team won, so I was ****** at myself and I didn’t think the owner deserved the accolade with a team that I had fully recruited. He still gets the accolade and the credits that go with it. I left the world because it isn’t worth my time.

and I’ve moved on. Life goes on. You should move on with yours.

Additionally, you don’t even play HD. So you need to get a life. This is what I play and therefore I use the forum. It would be extremely weird of me to enter a discussion in the baseball forum or the GD forum.

You still feel the need to reply to every single person who doesn't agree with you, so you obviously have NOT moved on.

I'm sorry you cost yourself all the accolades of winning an internet sports gaming season. I'm even sorrier that such an "accolade" means so much to you.

Now, are you truly going to move on, or are you going to continue being foolish?

You’re extremely delusional. I haven’t said anything to anyone else. Only you, because you don’t even play HD so your opinion on the subject is irrelevant. You posting on the HD forum is equally as irrelevant.

False. Everyone would be ****** about it. Everyone. Anyone who says he wouldn’t be ****** in this situation is lying, or delusional about his own virtue. People would be ****** in different ways, not everyone would go on a conference chat rant. But everyone would be ******.

He didn’t start either thread. He’s being dragged, and it’s ridiculous.

Also makes me laugh when I read some dipsh!t response about somebody needing to “get the last word”. The preemptive “last word” strike. Keep talking, or don’t. But leave the passive aggressive BS in the baseball forums, where it belongs.

One final LOL at the people who thought Mike was “the problem” with the HD forums. It will be less prolific and less entertaining with Mike gone. Less toxic? Not so much.

Okay. You're entitled to your imagination that immaturity and entitlement are everywhere, absolutely ubiquitous. I'm entitled to my imagination that 10 or 20% of the users are adult, would own their mistake and move on. We aren't in such big disagreement after all.

Is this where I start screaming "YOU DON'T KNOW ME!" and tell you to go F yourself because I don't like your opinion of my actions?
That's what the person you're defending did.
"Funny" how you and he are allowed to judge other people and assume the motivation behind what they are doing or posting, while at the same time you're complaining about those very things.

Smarter people have told me to do worse. Your internet skin is far too thin if you’re bothered at all by a GFY.

This isn’t a court of law, it’s a forum about what happens in a game. I’m neither judge, nor defender. I’m just a guy trying to talk about a game on the internet without sanctimonious ******** spewing simplistic and poorly thought out tropes based on false piety and generational stereotypes.

I'm assuming the 10-20% that Spud is imagining don't actually post in the forums (and live in a monastery perhaps?), because nobody that posts on here is going to have that perspective on losing a team they've built from nothing into a championship contender.

Saying that BH made his own bed and should own his mistake and move on is an incredibly easy stance to take when you're not the one losing anything. I don't agree with any personal attacks he may have made in private, but he deserves to be ****** off about this. Also, to reiterate Shoe's point from earlier, he didn't start either of these threads - we're all just using the situation to procrastinate at work.

I gave you your imagination and I'll keep mine. If you're not a judge then don't judge. You're not alone in "spewing simplistic and poorly thought out tropes based on false piety and generational stereotypes." Don't put those words in my mouth, though. When I forgot to renew several seasons back, I owned it and moved on. I am certain I am not alone in that response, although 10-20% was admittedly a guess. And none of those people live in a monastery AFAIK.

That's a whole lot of assumptions and judgments from someone who supposedly doesn't do such things.
Hypocritical much?

Was it a championship caliber team? Did you contact CS, and have them tell you not to worry? Did you contact the coach who took the job, and did he agree to look for another spot, and then proceed to not do what he said?

You didn’t experience his circumstances. You’re drawing a false equivalence (no, that’s not judgment, it’s discernment, aka knowing a fallacy when I see one).
