Alright, before this gets out of hand let me comment from my own side of things.
First off, you can spin it as being innocent or whatnot as much as you'd like, but it clearly wasn't. I have been GM in this league and another for quite some time now and not talking to another team's player about joining your team is pretty much number one rule of tampering. And in every other situation in the past, the other GM would say "hey, is it ok if i talk to this player and ask him some questions" and I would have no issue with it. Even Bovo himself pointed out that he assumed I had given you permission to speak to him.
Secondly, I alerted HO of this the day this happened, once Bovo confirmed that you had written him. They knew from that point forward.
You claiming you wanted to be an ideal trade partner is silly at best. An ideal trade partner could have easily asked to speak to him.
Urging rookies and other GMs to be vary of me is also a ridiculous thing to say. Jesus christ. I may not have many fans, but I don't think any other GM has ever complained about me in any sense. Look into the mirror, this is not the first time you have been a problem.
