Even his fricking opponent saw it as an honest mistake and was willing to allow his points to count - and that is someone who has ran the fricking league before.
I honestly don't care either way but some of you are acting like robots here.

You call it acting like robots.
I call it acting consistent.

Rondo has never been this gung-ho about this in the past. never.

this is the key.
Nobes, you ask who is to determine benefit??
come on dude. Its obvious there is zero benefit. Only an idiot would not be able to determine the benefit or lack of benefit in this instance.

I hope you aren't referring to me, cuz I said last night that if I was playing LE, I would have granted him the days stats. However, other teams are affected by it, so it needs to be agreed upon by everyone.

Who's to determine benefit? And interpreting if the added player adds benefir everytime this happens is not the way to handle this.
Really? I love how you try to break this down so analytically yet you can't seem to figure out that in this specific instance 0 stats would be affected with the extra roster spot. If you can give me an example, any example, of how Les could have benifited or how someone else could have been affected, I will side with you.

Who determines this...really?

And he will likely not make the same error again...where the frick is accountability in all of this?

You do realize that RMCC is ahead of everyone thats voiced their opinion right...your point here holds no water...Giving the points to Marle would HURT a guy in front of us and help one behind us.

He isnt the only one effected how can you not see that???

As a commisioner of a league myself I know that once you start using "common sense" as you put it to apply rules how you feel they should be and not how they are written, then you are just asking for trouble.

I hate going "by the rules" when it makes absolutely no sense. There was no benefit to LE in this situation - he's not getting away with anything!
It's fricking childish and absurd to cling to the letter of the law in such a situation. It shows the pettiness of the individuals opposing the stat allowance.

bullshite, in tdbbl Karma will definietle tell you I was one of the biggest opponents to him getting his way.
And how many goddamn times do I need to say it, I benefit more from rmcc losing a point that you losing a point?

in tdbbl?
not the same at all. i, among the rest of the league, didnt know that would happen, as it had never happened before. this has happened before, and the person has had to deal with it
again, im all for the change bc it blows, but you are gonna have to have the rest of the league ok with it

I think this is where my reasoning is coming from as well. I can't tell you how many times leagues that i've ran have come across "judgement calls." Following what the rules say eliminates any kind of leeway in either direction.

You guys sound like fricking rantards with this shite...NONE of you argued this rule was dumb. But now it is????
frick that.
It is apparently lost on you guys that have said that I am open to addressing the rule and its stupidness/smartness for the future, but to call into question a rule after the fact is fricking gay as shite.

about 10 people have voiced their issue, only NObe and Redd would vote against it.
we dont have to vote to change a rule.
again, i think me dropping the player before any game starts should clear me of illegal lineup.

and it takes bias out fo the equation too.
I cant believe Marle and Port are saying I am taking this stance to hurt a playoff contender.
I already stated, if Marles WHIP ERA and OPS were so bad that day that dropping the days stats would help him, I would still be opposed to this.

Dude you don't even have to ask for trouble if you can't understand that A.) human beings are going to make mistakes and that there is no harm correcting something if it had no affect whatsoever, and B.) this is fantasy baseball, not the court of law.
I don't see at all how this would be opening pandora's box. You keep talking about future instances...provide an example of what could happen if we decide to correct the stats.
