Lately I've been hanging out with my good friends in our league forums until something finally forced us all to silence ourselves a little bit, yes, you've guessed it; we were the innocent victims of a bullying attack.

Bullying is a real problem, folks. Every day people are called mean names on the internet at an ever increasing rate and this time it has gone too far. I won't use any real names as to protect the feelings of those involved, but a man named "biolb" was just telling me the other day how he has been attacked on numerous occasions. Not to mention the "Corny" scandal which has caused another friend of mine so much pain that you no longer see him post out of fear of being called rude names.
What we need is a real fix here, and to that I say we create a new trait called 'Bully Awareness' which will make sure rude words or mean texts are never in this sport we all hold so dear. Every time 'Bully Awareness' is activated it will cause a 50% chance to completely embarrass the bully so much that he loses all motivation for the rest of the game. He then is given a swift five games off and every game he plays afterwards he feels the admiration of his peers so diminished that he constantly has a 30% penalty to all stats for the rest his career.
I think we all know who will object to this (Corny ahem), but please other admins and moderators who are far more sensible and less cruel - listen to me! We can stop bullying once and for all!
Don't be an Incognito, be a Nice Burrito.
