He had an IRL situation suddenly come up so he retired his player. You didn't and couldn't have seen that coming, that's not why you rejected him.

When this situation was resolved, he came back as an agent for a season, was active, and then upon deciding being an agent wasn't fun he recreated. His current player is one of the higher earners in his class.

That's such an unnecessary and ill-informed shot to take.

I will say one thing, the Bex comment is very unnecessary and is a good way to have any good points you said ignored.

"The way you treated him"
Contrary to popular belief, we never insulted Tim. We held Tim in high regard. We just didn't think he was the right person for the job.
Did we come to that decision before talking to him? Yes. But did we ever talk shit about him? No. We just didn't think he was the right person for the situation. I thought that he would make for a solid GM of a normal team. The Butchers were anything from normal at that time.
And when it came to him "having his shit drawn through the mud" as stated by @NicholasTheGreat, we did our best to keep his name from coming out. We wanted to let him stay anonymous and not be "The guy the Butchers rejected". He chose to bring it to the public. And he wasn't the one who got "drawn through the mud".

As for the first paragraph, I am aware of this. I made sure to talk to the interims about this and they were also very interested in my solution. And I also hope this will go much cleaner than the first time.

As for the Bex comment, I added that to show that I had already attempted to solve this while there wasn't a crisis ongoing. It wasn't in the media piece, but when she responded to the media piece saying to contact her if we had any questions about the new rulebook, I PM'd her on-site. It wasn't in the form of "unsolicited feedback", it was asking her if I could be involved in solidifying the rules surrounding a situation that I am acutely familiar with.

And with the gif, I don't know who I'm supposed to even be threatening. I wanted to show a guy who had redeemed himself in my eyes that I wanted to protect him. My usual medium of saying things is anime gifs. I like Misato.

Anyway, I've already started drinking for the night and I want to finish up some things I was working on today, so I will not be taking any further questions. If HO has something to say to me, they can say it through the appropriate channels, like I've tried to do. I've already given my interim GMs the best advice I can.

I get it. I'm the bad guy. I'm the person who fought for things that no one cares about. I've stated I don't want power and I'm not interested in being deeply involved. I just posted this to remind HO of the precedent that was set and was quickly ignored. I apologize to Bex and HO if I offended them by bringing up a point of history, but I'd like to remind them that I only do this because I believe in people having a say in what happens to them.
