The discussion is not about who's offenses are worse, it's that this stuff always goes on every season. We need to make clear rules to stop it.
My other point is, there is no such rule that you have to be a celticsblog member to be part of the league. The commish can't refer to such rule as justification for kicking one person out and not others. If we want to make such a rule, it has to be proposed , and voted on. If you guys want such a rule, propose it and lets vote on it.
For the record, we're in agreement on the 1st point.
I get your 2nd point, but it's just not something we can retroactively apply to this latest incident. There are no rules on behavior in our constitution - the best interpretation available to me would be to follow Yahoo! policies as the default. The answer can't be that it's impossible for anyone to be removed no matter what they do.
So, just to recap one more time:
BFM is out; however, he has not been replaced yet. On the off chance that there is an actual push to veto my decision (despite zero complaints at the time), I can wait a little while to hear from that contingency. You are entitled to an opinion of course, but I would need to know that it's more than just you.
Rules proposals would be great, on this and in general.
There is no rule, written or implied, requiring you to be a member here to be in the league. There
is an implication that you can't abuse other GMs, behave horribly, and escape all consequences until proven guilty under league constitution law (all 2.5 pages of it none of which addresses behavior).
I'm not going to dig into history of past bad behavior as precedent, particularly incidents that happened before I was even a member of the league. If someone acted even worse in the past, shame on them, but I can't do anything about it right now.
Finally: the single biggest problem in this league is the behavior of a few GMs spoiling it for others. It is BY FAR the complaint I get most often. I think occasionally doing something about it, while trying to be as fair is possible, is in the best interest of the league.
