Not going to get into a flame war with you. Your name has come up on the general S+ slack as someone who has threatened people over emails in a league I am not in. I have been in other leagues with you where you have been removed as well for your disruptiveness. I don't think I am the issue. (I am the father of two autistic kids for what it is worth).

[rleibowitz]

And if you invite the above to your league, you can expect those types of wonderful comments in your league to occur at some point too! Please leave the ootp community.

[Flash33]

I have been in several leagues with PhorgottenSon and can certify that he is disruptive in all of them. He really has issues with any league he is in and his opinions here should be taken with a grain of salt.

On the other hand I am in multiple league commished by rleibowitz and have "zero" issues with his leagues. MLBE is an excellent league and is highly recommended.

Before you start typing a reply to this message PhorgottenSon, I have a daughter with Asperbergers, so be careful how you reply. I have no desire to discredit you personally, but your comments about this league are incorrect and you should cease comments here.

[Flash33]

And once again, I will say that you are the problem, not the commish. This is the second league I have joined, so I've been here several years and have zero problems with the commish and absolutely disagree with your opinion. I have no desire to discredit you personally, but I will not accept your public criticism of MLBE or the commish.

But, I truly hope she has a wonderful life.

I will not make this about my family. How I raise my children and support my family is not the issue here.

[Flash33]

And I am here to say that is not the truth, that is your opinion. It is important for potential new owners to see other "opinions".

Thank you for proving my point. Who wants to deal with this?

[slowpokemcgee]

Phorgotten I've been in multiple leagues with you and never had any issues, but you've now attacked two separate leagues that I've seen rolling out the same complaints. I can't speak for the other one, but your attacks here are out of line. This is a great league, run by a great commissioner.

[Kingofgoats]

Take the G out your waffles all you got left is ego

[s8n666]

naw, bro. You are way out of line. No one attacked you in your FTL meltdown. I have the screenshots and the entire thread archived. YOU got removed after calling me (and others) "goat f**ers" for disagreeing with you. We all kept calling you out, trying to calm you down, keep it respectful. Multiple times you said you couldn't/wouldn't control yourself. You turned yourself into the victim and just couldn't handle people viewing things differently from you. So, you got booted once you made death threats and then you succeeded in sending out a leaguewide email with more threats and name calling. You need some serious therapy, bro. As Elsa said, let it go.

I never made death threats. If you think anything I said was a threat, then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the word threat means, you dipsh!t. As for the goat thing, I never said any of you are goat f**ers. I requested that you go find a goat, teach it what consent means, then get consent from it, and then go to town on it or let it go to town on you, however you want to play that out once you get to that stage of the relationship, your call. You weren't disagreeing with me, because the math was right there was nothing there for you to disagree with. You were insulting me that I was taking something so seriously and hated that I was standing up for what I believed in and had to attack me for that. And here you are, still not satisfied, so you continue to lie and attack me. You think you are a good person, but you are evil and wicked. You are upset that I couldn't just sit back and let you do your evil without being called out for it. You wanted to do evil and go to sleep telling yourself you are a good person, and I prevented you from doing that and you hate me for that. Well, that hate goes both ways as I cannot stand the evil and the wicked.

cute Here's some of the thread, because no one needs to read all this. Some highlights, with attached screenshots of the deleted comments of yours that got you booted:
Phorgotten Son - Mariners 8:42 PM
shut the **** up and let me finish, godddmamnit
REDACTED 8:43 PM
Dude I don’t appreciate you cursing at me. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars to keep ppl In here that couldnt pay for themselves. Get a grip and just be respectful
You can say your piece. But keep your cool please

REDACTED
Why are you getting so angry? @Phorgotten Son - Mariners
Phorgotten Son - Mariners 8:46 PM
8:47
because when someone is unleashing a firehose of wrong, my autistic ass really wants to turn the firehose off, so we can get to the part where we teach them what is correct
8:48
and I get heated in the moment instead of taking the time to make one long post, I try to make the long post but enter every line and then get it interupted

REDACTED 8:48 PM
you can get your point across without being disrespectful though

Phorgotten Son - Mariners 8:49 PM
I can't, others can, not me

Phorgotten Son - Mariners 8:50 PM
when I have put so much time into explaining it and them bouncing right off it and staying as wrong as they were before, really drives nails in, why I quit teaching high school algebra

Retired 8:50 PM
i would like to think that I’ve come a long way spiritually and mentally during these 3 or so years of FTL, Ed maybe im wrong

Phorgotten Son - Mariners 8:50 PM
a lifetime of neurotypical gaslighting has driven me past the point of giving a crap about decorum. It only holds up NT hate
8:53
that is what I love about math, it is true, it is honest, and it is there for all to see, no narrative about how the number could have been said nicer or why did the number get defensive when you were being told how wrong it was when it was right there the whole time you just had to know what you are looking at

Me - tldr
Phorgotten Son - Mariners
Go **** goats
a lot of heart and soul went into this stuff, if you don't want to read, then just don't, no need to pipe in with I ain't readinh that

me - HOLY **** 300 MESSAGES, SOME OF WHICH MIGHT BE IMPORTANT BUT I CAN'T SPEND THE 45 MIN CATCHING UP. IF THIS IS IMPORTANT MAYBE TIDY IT UP AND GIVE US SOME BULLET POINTS OR YOU CAN JUST GO **** YOURSELF AND YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. Sorry for yelling

Phorgotten Son - Mariners
then don't catch up you asshat, no need to hop in and say this is too much **** to read screw yall
Yeah, evil won

Me -
I was looking for some info. No worries, not my battle. I'll go back to fighting for the 1.1 pick


Phorgotten Son - Mariners
9:34 PM
it is a ****ing travesty of justice and makes me wonder if any of you are actually decent human beings or not
Phorgotten Son - Mariners
9:37 PM
I am trying to have fun, and enough here being evil really sucks the life out of it

Me -
being an asshole is trying to have fun?
I gotta get on that bandwagon

Phorgotten Son - Mariners
9:37 PM
yeah, climb aboard then bastich
fighting for what is right is the bandwagon, and ain't enough on it so climb aboard

[s8n666]

The only stuff I edited out was the stuff specific to the "discussion" which has zero relevance. Every comment directed personally to or by you is still there. There was plenty more if I had kept going, but you know how that works... TLDR

Point being, zero cherry-picking here. You are just unhinged. Go find a better outlet for your anger.

And when did I bully or victimize you? Hell, when did ANYONE bully or victimize you in that thread? I literally said "tldr" and you went off on me. We had ZERO history leading into that, and you went straight to calling me a goat ****er once I clarified my intent. I have some very good friends who are on the spectrum. Many are in our leagues (and in the league in which you claim to be a victim). NONE of them are assholes like you, and shame on you for using that as a crutch for being a jerk.

Life hack: If everyone you encounter is telling you the same thing, maybe the problem isn't them. Bye

[Kingofgoats]

You are your potty mouth are going straight to heck

[The_Niddler]

I do not know any of you guys or this league at all, but I had to comment.
I have been around OOTP since 2010 and never saw something like I saw from you to others over a video game.

Phorgotten, I am not trying to cause issues at all as I have no clue who you are, never been in a league with you and have never spoke to you prior to now, but to say you have never threatened anyone, stop lying, plain and simple.
I have seen DMs that you have sent a few people and it clearly is a threat or as you call it, a death wish!

Your demeanor shows it in these posts.
When you commented to rleibowitz and stated that he cannot take care of his kids, how do you know that?
Do you know him personally? He may be the best person to give care to his kids and supply them with exactly what they need. You have no idea!

Stop playing the victim and why come here and post in the first place?
If you don't like the league, simply move on. It really is that simple.

I for one, know none of these guys, never been in this league, but I can tell you, I have seen multiple leagues with issues with you.
At some point, you have to realize what the common denominator is.
Your keyboard warrior style doesn't work with most people and again, why? Just move on and go find another league.
I don't understand people that take a thrill in threatening other people or take enjoyment out of causing problems. We all do this hobby to take us away from reality for short periods during the day, why ruin that? What do you gain from it?

[The_Niddler]

Again, you cannot be naïve enough to not understand what the common denominator is with those leagues that have a problem with you.

[Jtee]

Leave the goats alone man

[rleibowitz]

Can we close this thread, pretty please?
