So you think you should decide what's right/wrong during the veto/approval process? Do you think you're HBD God?

So, assuming all of this is true, is it really any different for a commish or an owner to lobby for vetoes?

Yes. I covered that. Your lack of comprehension and/or desire to read an arbitrary number of lines/words is not my problem.

Me? No. Just offering my opinion. The whole point of "forums". You used to be better at poking folks, this is a lame attempt Mikey. Grab a cup of Joe or something.

I was just curious why you thought commishes can't do what every other owner can and why you got to decide that. I guess you've explained it.

Again, your comprehension has failed you. I didn't even say owners can and commishes can't. I've been quite clear, actually. You've attempted, and failed, at jumbling my words more than once in this thread. An opinion was offered in a place where ideas are discussed. Not once did I even imply my way is the only way. Sorry you can't/don't/won't understand the concept. I really am. It's kinda sad, really.

You are WAY better at poking than that, Mike. Must be an off day for ya'.

To simply exert your will, as it was put earlier, is entirely unacceptable, IMHO. You ask the league to take a close look, that's all. When the commish starts site-mailing people, it does seem to have an effect on some people's opinions. The commish should NOT be campaigning one way or the other. Simply put, it's an abuse of the position. Your opinion will sway owners, like it or not. That's NOT your job, as commish. Simply ask for a closer look via world chat. That should be sufficient. If not, then the world may indeed have bigger problems.


Huh. Seems you're pretty adamant that a commish should NOT do certain things. No mention of other owners as best I can see.

There ya' go Mike. Selective memory loss?

You are really not in good form today, Mike. Is it because it's Friday?

So you changed your mind when questioned further?

You can keep trying, and failing. Never changed my mind. The original discussion was about commishes. When asked, I said owners shouldn't do it either. You really don't see that, although it's right above your last post? Again, try harder or go home today Mikey, it just isn't working for ya'.

Edited: Really bad typos.

So, despite being excessively long-winded, you couldn't have just said "I don't think anyone, including commishes, should campaign for vetoes"?

Wouldn't your point/thoughts have been more clear?

Really Mike? Quite the reach for you arguement there, but again I'll bite. I'll even make it easy on your poor, old eyes....
