I haven't seen what evidence HO has used to make the decision on this punishment so I'll refrain from giving any opinion on that and address the direct (and occasionally personal) attacks on Myrtle Beach and myself instead, keep in mind the quotes below are only segments of the original posts so if you're confused please view that post for the full context. This will be my only statement on the issue.
Unfortunately reaching out to you could have been considered leaking, and we were aiming to follow the rules here so did not make any direct contact. From all of our previous encounters I had found you to be a pleasant person who didn't seem to have any issues with me, and I was unaware at first that you had an issue with coming to play for us which was so severe that it would have caused you to retire. We would have been very happy to have you on the team, as an active player and high (if not max) earning player as we only have one active cornerback and were looking for another alongisde him, but given your wishes and the desire Tijuana had to have you on the roster, instead we tried to negotiate a trade to ensure you were on a team which you'd be happy with while ensuring we didn't lose out on player value.
We were asked to assign a pick value to you and determined if you'd been in the draft and still on the board around the 5th-6th round, that it would be considered a steal to pick you up there - we felt and believe that asking for a player who was an 11th round pick was not only fair, but potentially even generous especially given the following statement:
Which says to me that the value assigned by your own team would be a first round pick. I'm glad that we could work out a deal that got you onto the team you wanted to play for, who also wanted you to be there - while we gained a player who was happy to play for us. Claiming that we were operating in any way outside the 'spirit of the DSFL' is baseless and upsetting, when all that we were looking to do was improve the experience for the players on our team by adding good, active users to our roster.
I'd appreciate if you could refrain from making personal attacks - it's really unnecessary and unbecoming.
I appreciate your input. It's dissapointing to see how childish and petty in nature it is for the site owner to behave and comment in this manner.

I was never contacted by MB at all to be asked about the situation.I fucked up yes but so did MB
