He wanted to know what everyone thought and then he argued his side and give his opinions. He wasn't telling you all what to do like he's in charge.

I certainly don't at all want satchel to come off as a villain here and I apologize if anything I've said has made it look that way. He's one of, if not the most, passionate and helpful members of our little community and IMO we'd be much worse off without him. Exact same goes for BruceM. Believe me when I say I have a great deal of respect for both of them.
That said, IMO he did come off too strong (as I'm sure I frequently do). The original few posts of this thread were in reply to a gauging interest thread and I can't help but think that it must have seemed to the OP as though it was like a flying brick out of nowhere directed to the head. I would have much preferred it if he had just started this thread like I moved it to (I gave it the question title too). It's true, this is not the first time he's brought it up and so maybe I should have done something more sooner. We had discussed it and I was under the impression that me adding "- Gauging Interest" to such threads made them at least tolerable, but obviously it's not enough.
Anyway, it may have not started off ideally, but hopefully it'll turn into something better.

Well said. Although it's a bit different in that it was a once thriving league, you're exactly right that that's more of a gauging interest thread and I'm quite happy to see the interest in it. There's no doubt in my mind that threads like that, league started yet or not, deserve a place. It's just a question of where is best.
