GG - let me also be positive. Many of your threads which discuss injuries, free agents, startegy, etc. are great.
You have no need to be arrogant. Nearly everybody who plays fantasy football or baseball knows you got serious game and that you are one of the top players in the industry. Just let the rest of us schleps have differing opinions.

Overbearing is how you often post just so you can beat down differing opinions.
So here are your examples:
1.Originally posted by Route C:
IMO there would be equal interest and involvement fighting for the last 2 spots based on points. Again that's just my opinion.
________________________________________
Your response - "highly doubtful"
That's exaggerating, and overbearing. As if Jeff's opinion does not matter. Guess what - I agree with Jeff, so that's two people already.

________________________________________
Your response - "we have a winner!"
As if only your opinion is the only one which can "win" and be correct. Exaggerating and overbearing to prove your own importance of being correct.
3. a) "sounds like you want to pass your "stress" on to others." b) "your post reeks of sour grapes."
Not arrogant. Just unnecessary and rude.
If you want to foster discussion of rule changes, football, etc. as you claim, and not have "venom", then simply disagree. 80%-90% of the message board posters do this. Jack - i had to make u work a little, didn't i?
to your points...
1. Your response - "highly doubtful"
That's exaggerating, and overbearing. As if Jeff's opinion does not matter.
Jeff's opinion certianly does matter. I don't agree with it and that's what i sai. maybe not how YOU or Jeff would like me to, but that's what i said.
2. Your response - "we have a winner!"
As if only your opinion is the only one which can "win" and be correct.
I was agreeing with ANOTHER poster's opinion, so how could it be the "only one"? this isn't about winning, it's about agreeing or diagreeing with opinions. i hope you don't see MB posting as "winning" or "losing".
3. "sounds like you want to pass your "stress" on to others." b) "your post reeks of sour grapes."
Not arrogant. Just unnecessary and rude.
i posted the sour grapes AFTER jeff insulted me by saying i only throw out ideas when i'm losing. silly, silly notion. i'm always looking to improve my team or in this case the NFFC.
i suggest you stop inferring "arrogance". if i wanted to put someone down, i would!!

2. man, i reread the posts i made on this thread, and no where did i see me pumping up myself or saying i'm the best or better than jeff. i'm simplying stating my opinion.
i think "inference" leads to many "miscommunications"

as we've discussed before, b4 you know it some of the key NFFC MB contributors could find a different MB to post on because of one reason...snake. [/QUOTE]Thank goodness I'm working from home today. YOu guys just kill me. Tomorrow my daughter has an unfriendly visit to the hospital again and trust me that puts more perspective on life than any feud here can provide. Boys, behave.
Glenn, don't you have better things to do during the day than just continue with your dribble. Sell stocks or something, would you? I'm just so sick of all this.
Now back to more important things for me on my day off.

Once again, this is a thread that has merit and any discussion that leads to improvement on one of our games is a good thing. There's no need for cluttering up this thread with any of this other B.S. If you want to have a personal feud, PM the person. Keep the rest of us out of it.

Greg, do you ever say anything to Mark? He has just as many problems as Glenn does on the boards.
To keep reading...."I'm calling Greg on this" is tiresome and boring. Mark, what is your problem? Seriously, I'm blown away by how many times you have posted your intentions to call. You act like the biggest baby at times. I would be ashamed to constantly say, "I'll be calling Greg about this" Well do it and quit telling everyone. It's very odd how you act like a child when people challenge you, yet it's ok for you to do the same.
You really are a hindrance on the boards as well. Billy said there is one common denominator in the feuds...well you seem to a demoninator equal to Glenn as well.
You guys both bring A LOT to the boards...when you both want to, but when your not "bringing something" you are bringing down the boards.
I, like Glenn have received numerous pm's about Mark's words/behavior, but for some reason people are afraid to post their thoughts on the mb's. Hey everyone, instead of pm's....call Greg!
BTW, whatever is decided on the Auction rules, make sure it is equal.
3 H2H qualifiers---consistency matters.
3 Records-----scoring points matters.
