you have allowed yourself to be influenced by the people who simply are not your friends.
I know you had problems with Cases that contributed a whole lot to your turmoil.
But only you can overcome the feelings you have that eat at you.
You know you have a circle of friendsthat enjoy your company and playing both with as well against you.Embrace that.You are quite familiar with the ins and outs of cases and vehemently disagree with some of their policies.
But do you and your friends have the ability to continue on in here and overcome the adversity that cases presents?
isn't there a way for you and your circle of friends to continue to play against each other on this site and let it do the work? Is it impossible to work within their estrictions/
Think about it.Structure your teams so that none of cases restictions apply.Ignore cases and in effect use their software to continue enjoying each other.
Sure there will be idiots joining as usual to mess us up but that is true in all life and in all venues, whether cases leagues, my leagues or some other site.
In time the past hurt wil go away as you again enjoy the good times.
Get 7 friends. form 4 -2 man teams .you know when is a gogd time for all of you to play.
schedule play on team ladder for a 2 hour period a few times a week.Ranking doesnt mean much among friends
meet say for example every thuirsday from 8-10 and again on sat 6-8 aND KNOW YOUR FRIENDS WIL BE HERE TO SIMPLY PLAY WITHOUT A CARE FOR ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD
Rememebr the key to happiness is your friends and not your detractors
