First let me say Jordan, it is always good to hear from you. Hope all is well.
Also a big thank you to all the posts in this thread, it means a lot to me.
I have had a discussion with DJ and a few other people within the league through xat and pm and I have made my decision to stay. Some of my frustrations have lessened in the past season with having less issues on xat being nagged upon and argued. Xat to me this past season has been a lot more enjoyable because it is more about chit chat and less about drama until this recent issue. This recent issue made me feel like, "oh shit, here we go again". I do not enjoy confrontation, I do not enjoy arguments. This is something that I do in my leisure time, I do enough referee work with my 3 children, I don't need more of it when I am sitting at my computer.
However, I would hope and plead that in the future for people to use common sense. Do not take the approach of "It is not in the rules, so it must be ok". Rules cannot catch every plausable scenerio, there are times that you have to use your own common sense with your actions. If you fall into a scenerio where the trade mods and admins tell you that you cannot do something, the improper approach is to make the statement "It is ok, I will just find another way".
