vvv,

you might make GREAT points 95% of the time you say stuff... but you say it like a complete douchebag. i think we discussed this earlier and its a mean thing to say (and even i don't like saying mean things to anyone, even you) but you're one of the least likeable people i've ever encountered. i only say that to hopefully help you learn from it and become a better man and not to embarrass you or make you feel bad. when i said that before you said you were going to try to 'stop being VVV and start being Griff' again. and for like 2 weeks you weren't that bad, but then you came out again.

i mean, don't get me wrong... i'm a douchebag, but i know i'm a douchebag. 99% of the time i realize i'm being an arrogant prick and its done in good fun, the other 1% is stuff i try to learn from, nobody is perfect. i realize that alot of people may not like how i go about saying things and being so blunt but i'd like to think when they get to know my true intentions that they'd realize i'm not a bad dude. AJ and I are very similar in that respect... i've never met a bigger asshole than AJ... but i've also never met a nicer, more humble guy than AJ. you need to figure out how to get that balance and how to be more likeable. not for the league's sake, just for life.

not trying to get into a bickering war with you, just telling you my view and to be honest, now that i'm about to hit enter i have no idea why i'm trying.

In terms of real life, my attitude/personality has never prevented me from doing anything and I really don't think much about an online message board is similar to real life, but I appreciate the advice...

I also appreciate you writing what you did because I'm not looking to get into a bickering war with anyone either, I just feel like I'm not being real if I don't say things when I feel like they should be said and I've been told a million times that I'm not alone.

As for this thread, I definitely lost my cool after the name-calling started and I'm not proud of it. I apologize if I offended anyone because that's not my goal here at all.

If I need to abstain from giving input to keep threads like this one from spiraling out of control, then I will. Honestly, I tried to answer a question and then it all went to shit. Maybe my problem is that I think everyone in this league is equal and every member should be able to voice their displeasure with something if they feel that way and that's not the case, but I just wouldn't want to think I could/should have said something if people start to realize how shitty this series of games really is and don't want to play anymore.

I don't mean to offend people (especially the guys who have kept this going when jeff disappeared) with anything I say, I especially don't want to get them to the point to have to resort to the things that they did in this thread, but if I say anything critical it seems to happen no matter how I phrase it.

I'll admit I could say things in a more constructive way and I will try to do that in the future, but I've been the same since season 9 of this league and it still surprises me how sensitive everyone is. That could be because of the way I phrase things and I will try not to sound like a know-it-all in a similar situation on this board in the future, but suggesting that the voting was off because the aide wasn't correct isn't the same as insulting someone's mother.

I think everyone realizes that the management does a ton of work for us and does a great job behind the scenes while we just reap the benefits, but I think it'd be better for the NDL if input was appreciated rather than being viewed as an evil attempt to undermine someone's position.

As of September 7, I pledge to be more constructive with what I say and to be more cognizant of people's feelings. I hope that in return people can realize my intentions are not to make anyone feel bad, I just am used to running leagues myself and I feel like feedback is extremely important.

as has been pointed out many times, its not what someone says, but rather how/when they say it

whatever, let's drop it

Well, I think its time to lock this thread up. Everyone has thrown out there thoughts.

Griffin, we've known each other for a long time, my first NDL game ever was against you. Sometimes when you post (and that I'm sure many would agree) you come off as a pompous asshole. This is a FYI for you personally, The NDL has been and will always be more than a video football game. You see that with people meeting at certain events all over (I drank beers with Shel in the Bahamas!!!) including an upcoming NDL Convention in Vegas that I would love to be part of if I could just talk my wife into thinking it was a great idea, or meeting up with Corey and doing some darn fishing . With that said, I will say it 1 more time (if you took the time to read prior posts) Marks family welcomed a new addition to there family this weekend. He did take the time to update the voting aid (when he had time you ompous asshole). If a Coach decided to play a game after the voting aid was updated, well it happens. I would say when you get your email that tells you that the voting is open, you should swing by the recap section (here is the link to the simple recap....(http://www.onlinedynasty.net/ndl2/recentGames.php) just to make sure you look at the games that have been played. You sound like a selfish asshole when you say it should have been updated (after Mark posted his Wife was having the baby!!!!!) Now lets keep in mind that most of us are adults here, the average age of the NDL is 30+, we are grown adults and understand the importance of important things in our lives which is probably news to you, but a the birth of a newborn is one of those things. Someday down the road you will realize how important that event is. My damn 10 month old daughter has more damn class than you. (On a positive note, she understands TOUCHDOWN (puts hands up like Touchdown... )

Like I said above, the NDL has always been more than a damn football game, yeah football brings us all together, but its much more than that!
