I don't get how people can get mad at someone posting in a trade thread. The trade thread is there for discussion. I always comment on trades in every single league that I've been in. There is no need to take my comments personally in trade threads. If you feel like I made a shitty trade, feel free to comment on it. This. I’ll continue to comment on trades and I expect y’all to roast my ass when I screw up, too. What purpose does it serve outside if to make yourself seem smarter than a GM you don’t agree with? |

What purpose does it serve outside if to make yourself seem smarter than a GM you don’t agree with? who cares lol Y’all care way too much what other people say. People are allowed to express their opinions on trades. It’s fun to dissect a deal. Sometimes you or me might make a bad deal, but oh well. Have thicker skin. As long as there isn’t pointless shots being thrown around, and you’re simply giving your take on a deal, then it’s fair play IMO |

No need to. It has nothing to do with what I said. Thanks. |

I do think some people here would prefer no actual interaction with other Gms.

Which is very true here. Some guys would be content being 500 every year. Others cant get over 400 to save their life. Everyone plays this game for different reasons and some people kinda skew value because of it. Is what it is! |

Guilty of it myself sometimes, but the biggest issue here is that there's a handful of us that perceive that if someone is an asshole one day, it's carte blanche to harass them forever about it and anything else they can think of ad nauseum.

I’m so glad I only check in a few times. I totally missed what happen. With that said I’m going to the baseball hall of fame and Baltimore to watch my Astros play. I’ll be out of pocket for a week

I’ll be out of pocket for a week I don't even know what happened. I guess someone accused Brian of cheating. But the point is that whatever happened is constantly happening. One flame war in one thread is one thing. An eternal, years-long flame war across the whole board is just exhausting. |
