After giving this some thought for a majority of the morning and afternoon, I am going to step down as admin and owner of the LAA effective today. Since last night, I have been very upset over an issue in this league and the more I thought about it, I should not be getting this upset over a game. I think rather than carrying on and digging deeper into an argument over this whole situation, the better choice for me is to walk away at this moment rather than letting this continue for myself.
This is also something I have been thinking of for awhile, so it would not be fair to throw all the blame on one individual situation but I would lie if I did not say this was the factor that pushed me over the ledge. I am very dissapointed at the handling of it and the general mentality of trying to find anyway to bend the rules in ones favor, it is even more dissapointing to find people in support of that method. Some people should be above that, especially the ones that admin the league.
I want to thank all of you here in FCM for the past couple of years, it has been tremendous and I have had a blast. However, this will be a goodbye, this situation and general attidude behind the situation, is something I cannot let continue for myself. I wish you all the best and I will try and stop in from time to time.

It was nice knowing you sean. I wish you the best of luck in life. It kinda hurts me though knowing that a deal I was involved in pushed you over the edge. You're a great GM, I hope you come back.

I hope we still can continue our AL rivalry Sean...granted you've dominated it so far...but I was looking forward to the competition.
We can get through this and to answer you question from this morning - if it helped add stability and eased the burden I'd take any role the league needed. So keep that in mind, talk to DJ, and find a way to remember how much fun this league can be. I can understand the anger and frustration - I've had a lot of it lately too. But I think we can right the ship, so don't give up yet.
