Earning The Respect

[Carl]

Some of you may know me, and some of you many not. I was frequently in and out as GM/Owner/Blah/Blah at ProFSL over the years, and most likely pissed you off at some point. Not that I need to explain myself, but after a recent conversation, I wanted to.

People deal with things differently and my escape was through fantasy sports. Without giving too many boring details, I've been through plenty mishaps/relationships/nonsense/suicide attempts, and used this platform as a way to get away from all of that. Or at least tried to. So when things got completely sour in my life, I bailed on everything. Including my teams and left A LOT of people upset with me. I'm now in a place to say that i've gotten past all of that and feel like a brand new person.

Well, now I'm here. I frequent both sites. I completely understand if trust issues arise when and if I ask to join your league. My track record is as awful as one can be and i have a ton to prove. Ive joined plenty of leagues, and look to make many moves. I am by no means a fantasy expert, but I hope to gain plenty of knowledge in a setting as such. Ive finally gotten back to the most important point of Fantasy Sports, which is to have fun.

My point in typing all of this is just to say I know I need to prove myself to earn the respect of my fantasy peers, and enjoy the topics at hand. I'm not looking for forgiveness, nor pity. Look forward to future conversations with many of you about anything.

Hey Carl, thanks for sharing. I can kind of relate. Last Spring something crazy happened to me at a bar and next the i knew i was facing an arrest. For the Summer i was frustrated with myself and took out on some members on profsl and playing wasnt fun. I welcomed the change to this site i feel like i am starting new here even if i am playing with a lot of the same people. Good luck to ya!
