Arkinal has always been fun to compete against but he doesnt sound like someone I would go to the movies with. Although Upper Management personalities show double the rate of normal people on sociopath tests, so he could be who he says he is.

This much I can say, Arkinal doesn't take to a public forum to trash other Strat owners. That's a good thing in my opinion.

We don't trash individuals, we trash the teams the individual put together!!! For instance: Why did you take out Campanella and pinch run with Isbell and instead of putting in Fosse as a D replacement, you put in Frank Chance!!! Now you need another 1B guy. So, there's Dropo. He Dropo'ed the ball for a 2 base error and let 2 runs score. Then you put Maury Wills in LF even though he's a SS thinking if he's a switch hitter, he can run down balls to the left or right!! Meanwhile, Isbell get's picked off and your relief pitcher Garman is tasked to face Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Stan Musial. Hal was drinking again and got a DUI.... So, he took it out on your team.

Delivery Boy....

SO...yeah, I don't think its a problem when someone does this in TWO leagues for it to become public knowledge.

Given his anger issues which included it becoming my fault for

a) calling him out on dropping a very valuable player in Averill for no apparent reason. PS- there are no salary caps in these leagues- so dropping a 10+ mill player is, well, pretty detrimental to the fairness of the league. Especially prior to park choices, it can really change the balance of things.

b) suddenly becoming my fault for not defending him in the first incident (had absolutely nothing to do with it other than being there)

c) then of course this entire second incident was my fault for mentioning in the first place that he had done this in another league

Yeah, I really don't have an issue with it becoming public.

This prompted Delivery Boy to post 'Teams and Personalities'. It's what Delivery Boy does when his mind wanders and really can't comment on individuals. Day 4 vacation. Waiting for the sun to go down and the weather reduces the heat index from 'fry' to 'simmer'....

Arkinals. Like anyone would want to use that name. I always wondered about the trademark. Any blowhard who would claim they're worth billions is obviously a blowhard. :) I guess with Trump, 'tis the season for blowhards :)
