OK, bit strong - ruse, then.

Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 31st August 2023, 10:27 AMNor did I, but Godot's over reacting to an irrelevance. It's an additional temporary league not a breakaway league, it is no threat to anything but Godot's ego.
Don't agree with that at all - he was trying to bring a bit of sanity and get rid of the disharmony that we had two seasons ago, where you have now set us back to.
Nonsense. Here's news for you, Godot doesn't own the BCG league or the sole right to create leagues, he appears to have confused the role of Administrator with Dictator, making arbitrary decisions to ban and neuter players, and most of the disharmony's come from this zealous rendering of the role.
And not long ago you were all for including players who hardly posted, now you're all for banning everyone for the slightest thing. Where's the sanity in that?

Where on earth did you get that from? I've already said I'd be quite happy for Don to be in the league, AND I have OFTEN said "The more the merrier"
Besides which, cheating is hardly a "slightest thing"
Yeah Alf
You've really upset the normal Harmony that this thread enjoys each year

😁 It's the only thing making this thread interesting at the moment.
Harmony with a capital H - are we talking hairspray here?
I'm not saying that there's not Aerosols on this thread
But maybe that's why it is still the best thread on the BCG

Dictator? Let's have a look at my two full seasons as Admin shall we.
21/22
• Instituted one post per week rule
• Tried to introduce democratic voting (which was messed up by you and Steve copying and pasting other people's votes)
• Got Dan Sweryt to post
• Didn't ban or suspend anybody
22/23
• Didn't impose any regular posting rules. Thread was much shorter as a consequence
• Showed an edited final table with non posters removed but crucially didn't remove anyone from the clique so they would respawn next season automatically
23/24
• Imposed no posting regs
• said I would consider rescinding Don's ban if members wanted it (Democracy again). Only you and Goodlad came forward
Yeah that really looks like a dictatorship. In contrast You yourself imposed a 6 post per season rule when you were admin and Don is in favour of deleting people who don't post. See below.

Reminds me of the NTNOCN "old chestnut" sketch - the scene is a Swedish chemist, with Mel behind the counter. Enter Rowan as customer....(you have to read this with a Scandinavian accent) :-
Rowan "I'd like a deodorant please"
Mel "Aerosol or ball?"
Rowan "No, I want it for under my arms"
And what's 6 compared to 38? Very light requirement from me which you duly said was too loo light, but it's more realistic for the annual non posters than demanding a post every week and there's enough players on here who carry the thread with very regular posting. No one was removed and we got a very good post total on that season's thread.
Don had left because of one or two newcomers not carrying their weight on the thread, and a G O'Donnell just winning his third title without even a single post (from memory) and he wanted a stricter policy of player removal if they didn't post. I didn't accept that but compromised with a mild and achievable post requirement and no renewal for Gerry and that's why there's no Gerry the original non posting trophy hogger now. So I feel I've done my bit for the thread.
With him gone we needed Don back, to have a fair balance of title winning players and no actual non posting winners. Then Don was (harshly imo) suspended, after he'd already voluntarily missed the season before, I gathered for the same alleged offence. So he's been punished twice which is unjust and unsporting, and like I said gives Anton, hardly the poster of the year (no offence) a great chance to add to his total without his closest rival here. Which he duly cashed in on last season. The fair balance has gone.
Voice of reason, Alf.

"Rushmore! What is that you are doing on your computer in the firm's time?"
'Just checking my Fantasy Football team, sir'
"Oh well, I see. Good, as long as you're not on a gambling site, betting on football"
'Oh, no sir!'
The Super 6 thread has been running for 2 years now, and not once have we been reported to the Gamble Aware people or have Aaron or Mark rap our knuckles.
You are talking bollocks, Don. It's just your pathetic way to get your foot in the door of the FPL because Godot won't let you in, and probably you get a kick out of annoying Godot too, with a double whammy - you are so bloody transparent.
More the merrier for me, and I think you could be an asset to the BCG FPL fray; BUT what with talking crap and your arrogance, you still get up people's noses
I was on the fence about letting you back into the FPL, and even once suggested to Godot to let bygones be bygones and let you in, but now we can see, yet again why you are not liked.
You are your own worst enemy.
