I thought the phrase "Calling any real mod" was meant to be rhetorical, or perhaps satirical in nature?

I actually didn't even notice it. I think it's a normal thing in society for when someone has to choose a side in anything to choose the side with the majority of people in it so i get what's going on and i'm just gonna leave this discussion alone. I walked myself right into another troll job like an idiot.
There's leaders and there's followers. We just happen to have more followers then leaders here.

Actually, when we signed up, the trade setting in place was for it to go to a vote. You changed it to commish makes the decision AFTER everyone payed. Why lie?
Can someone that's not on ignore please relay this to Liar70, thanks in advance.

Thank God you're just a follower. Judging by your ability to lead a FF league, you're a real Trumper.

Usually when someone has specific accusations against them, and when given multiple opportunities to respond they instead complain that they are being 'wronged', I don't think "wow...everyone is just ganging up on this guy for no reason".
The only thing of substance you've said is that one of your trade vetoes involved "Watkins".....I think Ronald Reagan had a clearer memory of Iran-Contra.

I've commished leagues for about 10 years, sometimes 2 or 3 each year.
Conservatively I was commish for at least 20 leagues.
I never had cause to veto a single trade... not once.
And FTR I was commish for a CCS league that included a number of these 4-5 supposed tyrants who drove DB70 to madness.
Just adding my experience... somehow that league ran just fine without me having to intervene and veto trades or fuck with people's lineups.

Well now that the "real mods" left the floor open.
As I pointed out then...when you said "commish votes on trades"...we all thought it was a league vote that you participated in. Otherwise, why not just say "Commish is omnipotent"???
It was those little things that killed the league from the start.

Just curious, why didn't db70 just end the league and return everyone their 20 bux if it was such a nightmare for him?

Or bjj class tuition. Either way, it makes no sense that someone would run a league with all these problems he says he had after the fact.

Yep. I remember it clear as day, wasn't even in the league or anything that's just something I remember from the fall out.

Not true, before anyone signed up you said that the league settings would be voted on...once people signed up you set the trades to commissioner veto only. The majority of the members (myself included, at that time I was still in the league) wanted a league vote for trade vetoes. The majority felt giving you the sole power would result in you vetoing trades you didn't want happening, which unsurprisingly you did.
No one had a problem with the trade you vetoed....you were the only one who had an issue, if I recall correctly.

you said it wasn't a fair trade, you shit-ton of dip. You were wrong. Watkins outperformed Allen that year, so that alone should tell you
1) commissioners shouldn't have veto power at all, let alone based on their shitty assessments of players
and
2) you should never ran or run a FF league again

OK, so Nvans' a mod now? I honestly hadn't noticed that before.
Firstly, congratulations and well deserved.
Secondly, taking this from another posters inferences, will you be putting up a poll on which conservative posters should be permabanned or should we just DM you with our own lists?

In your league, no. In every other league I have been in for the last 35 years, yes.
A reminder, @dabears70 a few weeks ago he mentioned he just had a money league draft in July, think about that for a second, before a single preseason game has been played. I've never heard of that before, DB70 is obviously a liar and a cheat, but don't sleep on his stupidity and insanity.
