Due to personal reasons, I will be leaving GLB on Day 40. Dubai Lightning will continue on as they will be moving to AAA next season. Obviously, we would have liked to have done better this past season, and although we tried real hard, we just couldn't get over the hump.
I would like to thank my competitors, past and present, for being here to make it a great new experience. I had a blast playing for the 7 seasons I've been here, and really enjoyed the rivalries, especially against Prague. Although we never did beat them, Randy has always been fair in his assessment of the league in his great write-ups and has done a lot of good things to make this league as competitive as it is right now. Kudos to Randy!
Now to get somethings off my chest before I go.
You've not heard much from me on the forums for the last couple of seasons, but I have read them and I must say that some of the things some of you come up with is mind boggling. You guys can write a lot of words and have the uncanny ability to say absolutely nothing. I've had some recruits actually turn down coming to my team, because of some of the comments they read in our League Forum, saying things like 'stupid, retarded, idiots' etc etc. Some of you have no clue about respect, or sportsmanship or discipline in your comments to or about someone else. Those of you that abuse the power of words towards others literally needs your asses kicked!
I'm probably one of the older players in GLB (57 yrs. old), a Viet Nam Veteran, former Marine and a lover of football and sports in general, and I've been around enough to have learned that each of us are in this place together, and like it or not, we're all one, like brothers and sisters. No, we don't have to like each other but we do need to respect each other, weather it's in words or actions.
Sadly, one of the things I won't miss is our League Forum, as it is now. Try to make it fun for everyone once again.

Good Luck to All,

RESPECTFULLY,
Kenchi

The problem is your focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

Could not agree more. I don't know you Kenchi, but I respect you. This form is a joke because there are 3 or 4 guys in here that do nothing but cause conflict with their comments and drive away the people that actually bring something to the table.

Not sure if there is a mod for this forum or not. Maybe personal attacks are encouraged here. That's what it seems like to me anyway.

Great post! I agree with you kenchi, there are just too many personal attacks around here to make it any fun to post in this forum on a regular basis...

The most concrete dreams fade under the pressure of 5 million feet.


Yet if the concrete weren't there assholes would be tracking dirt in your own homes and would be bitching about it.

It's a catch 22. Unfortunately the world desperately needs idiots, we then get into cycles where idiots are crowned genius, skyscrapers fall, and the masses identify the idiots. In your history books they liked to blame it on lead poisoning. Unfortunately, instead of genetically weeding out the idiots, the more brilliant minds are stuck making glow in the dark kittens.

It's facinating really.
