Thanks for the props. At first I wasn't part of the whole thing but I got brought into it mid-morning yesterday.
To anyone that got upset by this farce, I'd like to say I'm sorry that it upset you so. I was a willing participant in what I perceived as a pretty funny April Fool's joke, definitely did not want to scare, anger, or disappoint anyone.
That Guy and everyone else, my derogatory comments directed at CrazyCanuck were all part of the joke. Since I couldn't play like I knew about the mods' dispute between one another, I took the angle of creating a fight between the Warpath's salary cap guru and me, the supposed salary cap guru of this new site being created by the defectors. CC knows, I have nothing but respect for him and absolutely love the work he does. Before I came to the Warpath a year ago, I searched far and wide on the internet, and nobody ANYWHERE keeps the Redskins cap numbers so completely and comprehensively as he does. I just thought it would be funny, and make it more believable, if I started taking a few shots at him as a defector.
Anyway, I'd like to comment real quick. I think the mods thought an April Fool's joke would work well around here because we all have such a good sense of fellowship. We joke around and get along great around here, and I think the mods thought this would be yet another way to have fun. In the end, the angry reactions just show how passionate people are about this forum, and how much they care about it. It shows just how great you think this forum is.
I think the joke was started because the mods viewed this as a tremendous community, one where we could feel free to joke around with each other. And if you got upset at the joke, that's only because you genuinely care about being here at the Warpath. That's a good thing. So lets all keep it together. I think anyone that may have left is going to eventually come back to see if this was a hoax, and when they do, they'll be relieved. Sorry if you got upset, I don't want any of you to leave. I love this place and everything about it, and I think a lot of you do too.
