And this is coming from the broke and unemployed 24 year old in the league and it's the older adults with full-time jobs and families that are in the middle of all of this bullshit...just something to think about for a minute. True. Sad stuff.

I'm not sure why this happens to me so often, but I tend to be able to spot problems (in people/situations) long before most others. lol'd

What happened in gabl The Jeremy quote is hysterical Bad leadership issues and the current commish (known as K.) hasn't really dealt with problems and issues well at all, so some people want a new commish. It's not good...

What happened in gabl The Jeremy quote is hysterical Rule #1: Former commishes do not speak ill of other commishes. I am completely sorry to violate this rule, but I cannot no longer bite my tongue for fear of severing it. I no longer have faith in our current commissioner and I believe that the league will eventually die under his leadership. There is no doubt that our current commish, K., has had to deal with some tough situations...many of these beyond his control--just like any commish. However, from my perspective, an alarmingly large amount of situations that could have been easily calmed were instead dealt with poor people skills where commish fanned the flames or was just plain retributive against certain owners. As a result, we have lost owners who have not only been with us for over 10 real years (like, they played this game in 2004!!!) but have been amongst the most active...they did not quit because they lost zeal for GABL, but because they recognized that our current leadership could not command the ship. These disagreements and departures leave me with no choice but to say that I no longer have faith in our current commissioner. Leagues such as GABL thrive on equal opportunity to succeed and fairness amongst owners. Hell, many of us take teams that we know do not have an equal opportunity to succeed because of the challenge, as long as we know that we are equal in the process. In most cases, I believe K. does his best to be fair but all too often renders an arbitrary decision that many recognize as unfair at best, and cronyism at its worst. If I am forced to recount the issues for evidence of my conclusion, I can do so; but I am sure that my colleagues (present or departed) can handily provide the examples to support my conclusions. Thus, I ask for K. to step down; or I humbly request that a binding vote be submitted to the owners to determine if the commissioner stays. There is nothing in the league constitution to handle this issue, therefore I propose that it shall only take a majority vote of all owners to remove K. from his position. If you wonder how the new commissioner shall be determined, I am volunteering my services to handle commish duties on an as-needed basis (could be days, could be years) until we as a league determine who will be our next leader. You should also know that this is not a power grab as I do not relish the idea of thrice-weekly sim processing--but I will do it to save the league. I am truly sorry this message needed to be posted. If K. does not announce his resignation by Saturday, I will post the poll to determine who wants him to stay or go as commish. I also suggest that the opening day sim does not occur until we rectify the commish situation one way or another. David
