I have no problem getting rid of people, but damn I'd hate to get rid of an active participant. Half this league is inactive as it is, whether their team is good or bad. Is what Context doing BS? Sure but he ain't the only one. I don't give a damn about the politics behind the scenes because that has nothing to do with me, but would be against getting rid of active participants.

Hate him, love him who really cares. It's not like we all gotta get along.

I can respect this post...

I always said this- tell me the rules and I will follow. If you tell me a thread is "no holds bared" and "let them fight"
how can you hold that against me if im going in on a thread. If you are going to be the one to accuse me of "BS"
how can you be participating in "BS" as well.

Again, I have never been suspended because I respect warnings. It hard to know what to respect when you
are giving indications that make you unsure...

We need to vote on this!! He shouldn’t be kicked out. He helped a lot of y’all benefit from deals with his tireless commitment to orchestrating trades. I’m trying to ignore this but I don’t like people being dealt with unfairly ESPECIALLY when the MAIN ones kicking him out have personal beef with him. Let someone with an unbiased view make the decision. I get the feeling Bish had little say in all of this no matter how y’all try to include his name. We saw people in here publicly talking about people’s mothers and daughters in the most degrading ways, yet they get to stay in the game. The man said he’ll even run his team and stay out of the thread. Smh. And no matter what y’all say, most of this beef is over tanking which multiple GMs (including Mods) do.

and you know what- like I said...I got nothing but love for BAF--and I forgave Mecca when he said all that stuff and thats not talked about-
and I did it in the very minute that he apologized...

I have stayed quiet through this thread today because I didn't want to say anything until I have an actual announcement to make. I will say this though, there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that most don't know about.

These days BaF should be an escape for everyone from the messed up everyday life we are all dealing with. I appreciate all of the comments in this thread..most are respectful and well thought out and all are being considered. This discussion thread is the best part of this whole thing for me and I wish more people would chat about the crazy playoff races that are going on now rather than the childish nonsense that has occurred here over the past few months.

On a day when I am prepping my family for a two week quarantine (which will probably run until the end of the school year) I am dealing with almost 40 PMs.

Whatever decision is made will be my decision in the end. IMO, there is no "right" answer to this and a group of people will be unhappy with whatever happens. But before any more accusations are made about mods abusing their powers, know that we have been in constant communication for a few days regarding the matter.

When a final decision is made, I will announce it to the board.

Let's stop and get a hot dog

Our beloved commish is working behind the scenes diligently with the mod team and various BAF owners on a solution here. There has been a LOT going on in our various real world lives lately that has intervened in normal proceedings and now a lot to process here. Once Bish says his piece, we will provide a follow up. The mods role in this process was intended to be VERY limited due to our presence as owners here.

In the meantime, stay safe out there Knick brethren... and I suppose those of you that root for other teams too ;-)

All Bish had to say is that HE will get the final say and I’m good with whatever is decided at that point. I just want it to come from him. A balanced head. Judges can’t be on sides. That’s all. I’m sorry you’ve dealt with 40 pms at a time like this...what in the world?? that’s bananas! I trust your better judgement at the end of the day.

I know what context does behind the scenes. But he’s just playing the game. If you have problem with how he’s doing it then fix the rules. Can’t give an outright ban. He put so much time into this and he really cares. I would have left a long time ago if it wasn’t for him. He keeps everyone active and on their toes with his 7 team trades. If your gonna get rid of him then your gonna lose a major component of the league

You had something going before the Vucevic trade.

Picked up a win over the Suns, moved into a tie for the fifth seed. Everyone is on a winning streak right now, hard to make up games on teams here.

Huge win for Clippers. A New Orleans loss would’ve been great for them though. Y’all know I’m watching that battle for the 8th spot in the west!!
