The DL

[abuck1220]

no, i wouldn't want you to have to drop brandon webb.

[Guest]

brandon webb is the one maxing out your DL? are you [expletive] kidding me???? that guy has elbow cancer or some [expletive]. lol, just [expletive] drop him...oh my goodness.

 

also, put ben revere in your minor leagues and play ortiz at U.

 

this is your unmanageable roster crunch??????

 

Ortiz is playing in NL parks all week. Are you opposed to the rule change midseason or not, Adam? I'm not looking to discuss the inner workings of my team with you.

[abuck1220]

yeah, i wouldn't want to discuss the specifics of this "roster crunch" if i were you either. this is like the 2,342,903,420,394th worst roster crunch i've ever run across.

[Guest]

It's posts like this as to why I'd rather just replace you than to continue dealing with you. There is absolutely no reason for posts like this. Why should I continue to tolerate it? Answer me that, Adam?

 

Actually, this is what I'm going to do to get you to shut the [expletive] up. I'm reversing the ruling since it has caused this much angst with you. But, I'm VERY tired of your act.

I don't have an issue with the change but it did come on rather quickly. You just posted a proposal yesterday (Sunday) at 3:00pm est and then the rule is changed within 24 hours of said proposal. That doesn't allow alot of time for people to respond especially coming off a weekend when people may be out of town or doing family things.

 

You are right, and I apologize for that. I didn't have a secret agenda. I spelled it all out. If anyone is opposed, I'll change it back. I wanted to institute it at the beginning of the new scoring period. If I don't, I'll be without a Utility player all week.

 

As my punishment for implementing the rule so quickly, I'll happily relinquish my commish powers to someone else.

 

ETA: Also, the proposal was made on a day where nearly ever manager will check in while making roster changes for the next week and such.

 

I wasn't suggesting that you had. Just pointing out that maybe there should be some sort of time allotment from when a rule change goes from proposed to implemented.

 

Not asking you to relinquish your commissioner duties nor was my post meant as an attack on you. I think you're doing a fine job. Believe me I know this job is not an easy or rewarding one especially when dealing with 15 other personalities.

I've restored the original rule.

Oh, I know you didn't mean anything by it Clint. I was just still angry with Adam's tantrum when I made that post. I've reversed the rule since it caused so much friction. Didn't think anyone would care that much, honestly.

[abuck1220]

no, leave the new rule. i like it.

[Guest]

Fix your roster, Adam!

[abuck1220]

on an unrelated note, i'd like to propose a rule change of my own. full disclosure, it probably has to do with adrian gonzalez maybe playing a game in the outfield this week.

[abuck1220]

leave the new rule. i said i was fine with it. quit being a baby.

[abuck1220]

the rule better get changed back because i'm leaving the office now and won't be back before the cubs game starts at 1:20.

The rule has been changed and your roster is illegal. If you need help getting legal before the first games today, let me know. I'll be happy to fix your roster for you.

Now that's hilarious. Since you clearly have an issue with a midseason rule change, the original rule has been restored and we will visit it again at the end of the season.

[Guest]

To be clear, the DL will be 3 people as it always has been. We will revisit changing this rule at the end of the season. My apologies to many of you for creating any confusion.

[abuck1220]

i'll be the commissioner since it's such a burden on you. switch it over. let me know when you've done it.

That offer was extended to everyone but you, but thanks for the suggestion. Now, fix your roster.

[abuck1220]

well, you've got a taker on your offer, so quit pretending like the weight of this burdensome responsibility is crushing your soul.

 

roster fixed.

[Guest]

well, you've got a taker on your offer, so quit pretending like the weight of this burdensome responsibility is crushing your soul.

 

While we are making offers, I could offer your team to someone else, and I probably wouldn't be overburdened by the commish job as much as I am now. How far do you want to keep pushing me, Adam?

[abuck1220]

and what would the grounds for kicking me out be again? for having an issue with a rule change you randomly made mid-season that you admittedly intended to benefit you? and that at least one other person had a problem with?

 

also, don't know what makes you think you can just kick me out of the league. i believe i've been in this league just as long as you have and have never neglected my team, missed the draft, failed to make payments, etc. people bitch about stuff all the time and i don't see you threatening to kick them out.

Simply put, your attitude sucks, Adam. Why do you think I would want to read, let alone respond, to your childish personal attacks? Who exactly are you trying to appeal to with your ramblings? Why do you think I would want to continue to put myself through this with you. I don't care how long you've been here or how well you manage your team, if you can't get along well with others, then maybe it's time to part ways.

 

All it would take is just a little bit of civility on your part. That's it. Instead, you see how many insults you can hurl towards someone to the point they no longer wish to deal with it anymore. This thread is pushing 3 pages because you refuse to just let it go. You pushed me to the point that I reversed the rule. Be happy I didn't already replace you and take some time to think about whether you really want to be here tomorrow, because as I have said repeatedly in this thread, I'm tired of this game.

I can't speak on behalf of the others, but your posting style makes me not like you at all, Adam. Maybe you mean for your posts to come off as funny or as joking around, but that's not the way I see them. I take them as a personal attack on my integrity. I don't mind a little constructive criticism, but with you it's non stop bullying. People are allowed to bitch about things without being told they might get replaced. But, if that's basically all you do and there's no friendliness in between, then what's the point of keeping someone like that around?

 

I don't like making those threats. It's an abuse of my power and it does not make me proud when I tell someone I'm getting dangerously close to replacing them. But, if you are making it unenjoyable for others as much as you are making it unenjoyable for me, why should we continue to put ourselves through that?

 

I'm no saint. I purposely got myself removed from another league I was playing in because I didn't get along with the commish in that league. It happens. I'm not asking for you to like me, only to stop with the attacks. If you can't stop with the attacks, something else will need to happen.

[abuck1220]

wow. first of all, i'm not trying to attack your integrity. we're playing fantasy baseball...i don't know if such a thing is possible in that context. i mean, seriously...fantasy baseball. on the same note, don't get too worked up about abusing your "power," because, again, fantasy baseball...not, i don't know, congress.

 

also, why are we to assume that i'm the problem? i mean, no offense (though i'm sure you'll take some), you just acknowledged you got kicked out of another league. i bitched half-heartedly about a rule change and within like two posts you were talking to me like you were my boss and threatening to kick me out of the league.

[Guest]

Oh, it's you, Adam. Everything is an argument or a tantrum with you. Do you see me not getting along with the other 14 managers in this league? Are there other managers who get tired of your games? I believe there are.

 

Just f-n stop already, Adam. Is it really that hard for you to do?

 

But, I am glad you pointed out that this is a fantasy league, because you act like you are about to take your last breath with some of your reactions. Your reaction today is a perfect example of someone who needs to remember that this is a fantasy baseball league.

 

I'm sure there are a few who don't like that I'm even having this exchange with you, and I'll apologize to them if that's the case. But, just drop the holier than thou attitude and just play or do us all the favor and drop your team so that I don't have to do it for you.

 

And finally, you paid $9.00 to play in this league. That's it. You've used up your $9.00 now with this ridiculous argument. I'd rather just send it back to you than to have another discussion like this. I have way better things to do with my time than argue with someone over something so severely stupid.

[Guest]

Adam,

 

I know Brian isn't the only one who gets tired of your lack of civility. I remember when we first started in the league, we had somevery good conversations. Those days seem long past, though.
