Philadelphia has been removed from our league. After repeated inappropriate advances on my life outside of the sim league, and ignoring numerous warnings that he was way out of line, he left me no choice but to remove him.
To focus in on the critical point - I have no big problem with small bickering back and forth. If he had not pushed into my real life and questioned my integrity in the way he did it, I probably would have been exchanging words back and forth with him from time to time, for the duration of this league. However, the line he crossed by accusing me of professional misconduct was unacceptable and entirely inappropriate.
We want this league to be enjoyable to all members. This league has an open suggestion box policy. If you have an opinion, we welcome it. We only ask that you present your thoughts in a clear, understandable, and respectful way. While we will likely not accept and implement every suggestion, it is always great to get feedback as well as new and different ideas. If we do not use the suggested idea, we will explain to the GM our reasoning, and in appropriate cases, work with the GM to think of a stronger idea that could work for our league.

You had to do what you had to do. I know you give your 100% to this league and you didn't deserve to be treated the way he treated you.

It had to be done, I didn't quite understand why he kept on bothering you and accusing you of telling lies and excuses about your life. Made no sense at all. intense shit, what happened? Go look at chat log, there is probably some still left.

intense shit, what happened? To sum it up... repeated inappropriate advances on my life outside of the sim league, and ignoring numerous warnings that he was way out of line accusing me of professional misconduct was unacceptable and entirely inappropriate When i tell the truth he just continues to accuse me of lies. He's harmful to the league in that way, hell for one thing I'd probably be done with the salary database if I didn't feel the need to defend myself from his base-less attacks. He was out of line, I told him he was, about 4 times, and he just kept at it. He was basically begging for the boot. Really we want this league to be fun for everybody. We know the league started really quickly, and there were a LOT of loose ends. We're doing our best to tie them up. We're spending hours and hours of our time each day and week that really, we probably "should" be spending on "real-life" things, but hey, we're fantasy nerds and sim-league nerds and we love this stuff, so here we are. When we have a guy throwing out base-less accusations, then ignoring the response to those accusations and calling those responses lies, it starts to ruin a lot of stuff. If I thought he saw some error in anything that he did, I would unban him. However, after hearing about conversations he has had and conversing with him, he is just dishing out more of the same. I'm still conversing with him, going on an hour now, and he isn't changing his tune at all. I wish he would, but he doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong. In fact, he seems to want me to admit most of this is my fault. I don't know what to do with him. This was the only option I saw available after he ignored the warnings.

I'm going to think over some things and make a decision tomorrow (probably in the evening) about whether to unban him or not.

Why is he even brining personal affairs into a sim league. This is suppose to be fun.

I agree w your assessment of the situation. There is no need for personal attacks against anyone. It's a sim league and supposed to be fun. It's not fun when, everytime you log into the site you get hammered by numerous attacks about stuff no one knows anything about. I know I certainly don't know anyone personally here.

I've decided to stick to my decision here and permanently ban the old Philadelphia manager. He still felt no remorse for his actions, and was just trying to smooth-talk his way into the league again. He was a bad apple for this league, and I think we'll be better off without him.
Thanks for the support on this from those of you here and those I talked to outside of this league.
For one last reiteration - Please feel free to express new ideas and disagreements to myself and Marco and any staff members. As long as you are not ridiculously out of line in the way of personal attacks there should be no reason to fear any serious action against you (like being banned). Again, the league is for fun, so we appreciate input and will consider all ideas, and while we won't use them all, we do appreciate them and will work with the ideas to try and get anything out of them that we can.
Thanks all, let's keep the league rolling, and if anyone knows of a couple managers, bring em over.
