Honestly, I'm just as embarrassed at how many of the people from our site have been acting at PSR. I didn't agree with everything you said, nor the way you handled the disagreements over there. Same goes for Craig and many of the others; and I would expect that many feel the same way about me. I don't think we are any better than they are. It's just that the way things are done there, it brings out an uglier side of many of us. To me it's the same as if you start working at a job where people swear more. You will likely start to swear more yourself, because you've been exposed to that and it starts to become natural for you. At PSR, they treat everyone like shit; each other and new people. After a while, the instinct isn't to talk things out rationally, it's to call them a fucking moron (or retard, though I don't like to use that word at all) and shit all over anything they have to say because that's just how people have done things there for a while.
I still read a bit on that site because there is a lot of interesting discussions if you can block all the other 80% that's just pettiness and garbage, I just refuse to comment on anything for now, because it's pointless. I read Craig's meltdown where he went around demanding an apology for a guy making a personal attack on him. That was pathetic to read, and I don't blame them for mocking the way Craig was acting. On that site, calling people a little bitch is the norm... demanding apologies and respect has no place there.
Please be specific, on the emboldened. Probably the stuff about them not caring about us? My only issue was a separate lousy football section. Maybe a fantasy one. I never asked for 32 freaking team rooms, and not 100% sure, but I think there was some other fantasy crap they deleted that I never asked for. SOMEONE ELSE (not from here) asked about why there wasn't a football section. So it struck a nerve I admit, not for the ones who said "we don't care, we're just happy to be here". Fine. But I never badmouthed PSR on their site. Nor said I was leaving, but looking back, I can see how it was off-putting to some. It just didn't suit my and some others needs for football. Saska, you don't do FF leagues, right? So you would never get it. It involves trades, keepers, settings, injuries - the tip of the iceberg. But nuff said cuz I really don't know what you mean. On your last sentence, FTR, I was not bothered much by the little bitch and fucktard name-calling. I was active in a thread by Richie, who was giving some guy all kinds of shit for his fucked up advice on McCoy for a keeper in his dynasty's league. It was funny. And the bad advice guy thought so too. Really, I get it. No apologies or respect were expected, it was nothing personal. What annoys me in terms of sophomoric behavior is incessant sexual & toilet puns and innuendo, and gratuitous cuss words when they add nothing. But never ever to the point I'd say this is not for me. It was just an annoyance on top of the football thing. Yes, there was plenty of interesting discussion. I started a new job right after we moved there, so have little free time. You know my forays into the topics you most got into are far and few between. My arguments were almost exclusively with Patsk1d and Morkim, both Peyton and Broncos haters. And Mork is in 2 leagues I run, and a 3rd I co-LM w/njc71 (neil). lol 1) I don't recall every discussion you've have, but I do recall reading some of your interactions and not agreeing with your position. 2) I find some topics interesting, even if the majority are garbage. 3) I do play FF, just not in leagues with anyone here (except jindred).

You must have missed all the posts he was making. He posted in lots of threads that I wasn't even a part of. About all he said was Craig is a little bitch. He deleted them soon after. I don't think I "Went around demanding an apology" I was trying to find out why he was doing that. I did't even know him. If he had a problem he should have stayed in the same thread and discussed it. Going to all threads reminded me of that time that guy went to all threads in NFL.com and said I was a pedifile. And you are right calling people stupid names at random is standard procedure there. Respect has no place there. So enjoy it. Guess I should log out and log in as Craig but I'm lazy. haha. I am on lots of meds that I don't understand yet. Some of them don't agree with me, but we don't know which ones they are yet. Mix that with a couple of beers and that was me. I didn't go back and read any of it. No need. Miss Lacy posted "What are you doing Larryb? Your better than this." I remember that. I saw what he was saying, and he was being a dick. I still think the way you reacted was poor. You kept saying you were not angry or upset, but everything you posted made it seem like you were. Ultimately, the majority of people there are just dicks, so demanding an apology or an explanation is pointless... Just accept that they are going to be dicks to you for no good reason or move on. I accepted that and then moved on because I don't find their style of interaction to be enjoyable at all.

I don't know. He used to sign in every so often even if he didn't post. He hasn't signed in in a long while. I sent him an email recently but i'm not expecting a response. There were lots of folks here that were invisible, or signed in as guests. Although many who did that (like Morkim) still posted a lot. It is kinda mysterious though. He did the same thing w/our GY league, just trailed off activity 2014 til it was no more. Ace, Plax, and Panther are the most notable disappearances. At least Plax came back and was glad we were able to move with ease. Some people do outgrow forums, but for me this is the only way I can talk football with people who have knowledge on more than a semi-basic level.

He came to NFL forum around 15 yrs old. Extremely smart, really knew his football (for a Canadian , better than me for sure, hilarious kinda dry sarcastic sense of humor - but never an asshole, especially for a Pats fan. hehehe Anyway, he was in 2 of my leagues, and maybe Eddie's CTM (Ace posted pics at that PB). Almost 3 yrs ago he started college in Toronto, a couple hours from home - engineering major, really really tough. So he suffered thru FF 1 more season, but clearly, school took a toll on him. He's checked in every so often, but less & less frequent the past year. Maybe he's got a girlfriend or whatever else throws your way in college. I have missed him most of all. Agreed, we do/did have better than a casual fan base. Seems everyone has their areas of expertise or at least familiarity, maybe based on teams or division. There was always new stuff to learn that stats will never tell you. Edit to tag him, ya never know... awesomeace

I sent him a message recently when we moved letting him know and just asking what's up and what not, and I never got a response Ace was one of my favorites as well, plus he was the only other Canadian when I started posting! Shaggzfate was a big loss as well IMO, he had both family and schooling to deal with and just didn't have time to stick around.

It's weird and kind of sad when people leave like that. They just disappear like Indy Dave and we have no clue what happened.

It's weird and kind of sad when people leave like that. They just disappear like Indy Dave and we have no clue what happened. Ace slowly got scarce, as did Shaggz. If I recall correctly, Shaggz also had some health problems, did he not? Like his back? Was he in an accident or something? He was in a couple leagues with us for maybe a year, 2nd year he was on the outs. Craig, ya remember Ace's 'best ball leagues'. I was in all 3, maybe you and Shaggz as well. I think that was the site that said you were a "shameless homer". lol Anyway, PS4 was likely another casualty for Ace. His name is Nathan. Speaking of which, I occasionally talk to Nateball on Facebook. I told him about PSR. I think he just lost interest. But lemme tell you, pretty damn sure he would've been so pissed they banned me, he'd never go back - but not b4 ripping some new assholes. No one did it better, but I digress... Indydave, he just vanished, like lights on, lights out. Model handsome, and so was/were his girlfriend(s). Seemed like he lived pretty large with the bikes and stuff, he was insane. I hate losing touch forever. I'm one of those, you may hear from years later.

I lost many good people including a Falcons fan when NFL.com first shutdown the game centers. Those places were cancer but they still had some good.

Shaggz did have back issues, think it was a slip disc thing, he had got surgery and was on here more often for a while cause he was laid up. That wasn't part of why he left. More so busy with school, work and family. Ace still plays PS4 often. You can see when a person is online or in a game. Just no response I assume he hates me. *begins weeping inconsolably*
