Owner throwing $$$ down the drain Topic

You know, at first I thought this was a roto rooter commercial.

So we now need to let everyone in every league we are in know our entire vacation schedules? Wow.... Do you need to know when my bowel movements are too?

We already know. Trust us.

There is an awful lot of righteous indignation going on here.

You have 14 days of not signing in, and then you can boot them.

Until then, I blame the commish for not doing his homework!

Sometimes people put it on auto just in case they can't check in. They may still be running the team. One should respond to sitemails. Open it and answer it. As for the owner in question, only one team is struggling. I wouldn't get too worked up unless I was in Ron Cey.

Again, to be clear, I just think it's a shame that this owner is not really managing the franchise. As I said, I think he's wasting his time, and the leagues, by not managing the team.

18 days on autopilot, 8 days since he checked in. No responses to sitemails or trade chats for almost a month. But even before this, he was only checking in every 3-4 days.

Have you read anything before this? Seriously?

Clearly, this fellow has more money than time, since he seems willing to pay for several teams, but doesn't seem to check them all regularly, as shown by the staggered check-in times.

If, as commish, this is unacceptable behaviour the better thing to to boot him. Coming to the forums will only get you ridicule.

People are allowed to have lives outside of this site, you know...

If it goes to 14 days, I can boot him.

Yes, I realize people have outside lives. And yes, I have long realized that there are some people who would rather ridicule than have a meaningful discussion.

Exactly what kind of "meaningful discussion" were you hoping for with this thread?

Fine.... I'll clarify...

Coming to the forumsto complain about the level of commitment from an owner you let into your worldwill only get you ridicule.

I occasionally post about owners who other commishes might want to steer clear of (minsho, ratatat72 and now jamacanheat). I think the situation with jamacanheat is noteworthy, and figured other owners would appreciate the heads up.

If you aren't interested in the subject, then don't read the thread. I realize that the temptation to ridicule is great, which speaks volumes about you, not me.

So the guy slandering someone they've never met (admittedly for at least the third time) in a public forum on the internet is taking the high road, now??

Laughable.

How an owner behaves in one world isn't always indicative of how he'll act in another. A rule of life is that people will adapt to what's acceptable and bend the rules as far as possible.

Perhaps you don't know the meaning of the word "slander." But I am not knowingly defaming jamacanheat. I am only stating the truth:

a) his team has been on autopilot for 18 days

b) three of his four active teams are on autopilot

c) he has not checked into our league for 8 days, and other leagues for nearly that long

d) he has not responded to four sitemails from 4/4 to 4/27

e) he has not responded to a sitemail from WIS

f) WIS told me that if he does not show up by 5/4, I can replace him

g) all of the above, IMHO, is a shame, as he is wasting his money and, IMHO, unnecessarily weakening his franchise.

The above are all true. None of the above is slander.

And again, if the topic is of no interest to you, move on.
