scared that other people may actually want to know the truth about what happened? that woudln't be good for business now would it?

Email everyone in that league, see if they are active.
I bet you get 2 responses.

consistency in the way you enforce rules is all we ask.

have i attacked anyone personally? called names? no!..so why the fascist lock down of comments?

is this what we are to look forward to? not being able to post our opinions on a message board that was specifically set up for that?

Derekio,

Here is the deal. We locked the topic b/c just like any other forum we have rules. We are not going to continue to address a dead topic and belabor an issue. We are not hiding anything - the topic you started is still there with the entire story for anyone who wants to read it. If we wanted to "hide something" we could have deleted the topic. I have provided a link below for anyone who is interested. Also, since we charge nothing and have no income whatsoever from this site its impossible that our business will be effected.

As we said on the other thread - please read our constitution it will have all the information you require about our rules and enforcement. The purpose for the system is for lesser/inactive managers to be eliminated in the lower levels. The Single A and Rookie league are filters for the upper leagues. Managers who are inactive are tagged and banned from the system. The rules are applied consistently and managers that are inactive have been tagged and will be removed in 2010. As you progress through the system the manager are much better and your level of competition is much higher. It is a natural part of the system that lower levels are less active and the managers as a rule are not as talented. The lower leagues are filters.

Since you haven't accurately entered your information I do not know if you were one of the rude teams or not. You may have been one of the teams that resorted to cursing, bigoted remarks and attacks or you may not be. We certainly didn't accuse you directly and in fact made it very clear that we weren't accusing you. You are more than welcome to post your opinions but we do ask that you use your correct team information. We are not accusing you of being "rude" - there were two teams that were but we did not name them. . Honestly, we have moved past this and did not call the members out by name in order to make moving on easier. It would have been easy for us to name the managers that were over the top and even post their comments but that would be unnecessarily antagonistic. We would like everyone to move forward and have been open and clear about this issue. I have no desire to call out managers or vilify any individual and we respect your commitment.

Once again, the original comments are posted at the link below for anyone interested. Thank you for you time.
