I'd love for you to point out one time where I put someone down unrelated to your bogus trades. I did not even start posting in this world til very recently, when the outrageous trades began to happen.

My favourite part of all your league posts is where you say that you are going to release all arbitration eligible players like Reynoso if the trade is blocked becaue its not against fair play rules, and you don't want some newb coming in and benefiting from taking over your dynasty. Ironic that your two world series rings came in the 1st year of one team and 2nd year of another. Cutting off your nose to spite your face aren't we?

I agree with Mike on questioning you trading players like you are and leaving. If you were intending on leaving before these trades this is a move that would keep you out of any world I'm in. While I didn't believe EVERY trade you did was terrible, I still think you should have left peacfully without making ANY trades and allow the next owner to have those guys to deal for who THEY wanted.

I would like Ranger to come on here and explain his rationale (that he posted again in the last ten minutes) that if the league vetoes these trades he has no choice but to release every arbitration eligible player rather than allow the next owner to take on a franchise without youth.

And that post can be shown to Admin, if he releases those players after admitting he is leaving that team I am sure they will step in.

They have said it is within his right to release arbitration eligible players, and thats why in every post he makes he mockingly writes that he is playing by the fairplay rules and not doing anything detrimental to the team.

WIS is a joke when it comes to handling these scenarios, the almighty short term dollar trumps everything for them.

Lol just stumbled on stevehoggetts public attempt to degrade me.  That is his MO, which is why I am leaving the world.  Since he entered it three seasons ago, he world chats this kind of nonsense all the time, putting everyone down and acting like he knows it all.  It is a tard world, and I have had enough, hence I am leaving.  But this thread probably makes him feel good about himself, so whatever.
You are a well-established tard owner, so you don't get to determine what worlds are tarded worlds.  Sorry.

At least this thread makes clear that anyone letting rangerup in to destroy a franchise becomes by definition a tard world.

Given evidence of intent to destroy a franchise (i.e. screen shots of posts threatening to dump players), there's an excellent chance that support would take action.

My reasons for making any moves I do are pretty clear and easy to understand.  Unfortunately they are not your business though.  Suffice it to say, no world rules have ever been, or will ever be, broken by me, and no HBD fairplay guidelines will be broken as well.  I built the team, and within all noted rules, I can and will do with it what I please.  

I don't believe any of this has any association with stevehoggett's clear love for me shown by his intense need to call me out.  That is his problem, not mine.

I agree your intentions are clear, you're purposely wrecking a franchise because you were removed as commisioner last season.

I assume you don't understand, or possibly care, why he came to the forums.

I would assume he's either trying to discredit rangerup, which I think is useful for other worlds, or discredit Mike Greenwell, which is useful for owners looking for a world.

Either way, I think it's good when worlds/owners air their dirty laundry in public. 

Annnnnnnnnnnddddddddd this proves to be true.

This is probably the 20th thread about Mike Greenwell in the last couple of years.   That will make it hard to fill.

You never answered my question though. 
If you're leaving, why so many trades?

Don't care that much.

Anyway, it's common courtesy to leave teams alone when you're walking out the door.   I don't care if you hate steveh, there are 30 other owners in the world who are affected by your moves.

IOW, making big trades after deciding to leave is a dick move.   You won't find many who'll disagree.

Not sure ethics or morals come into play.
