You could let Nick walk with the attitude of "well he quit over something stupid so that his stupidity for getting emotional." While that logic may make a lot of sense, it is quite counterintuitive. For organizational longevity, whether it is a company, a sports franchise or a fantasy hockey league, I truly believe people have to be at the core. That means being forgiving and giving empathy to people when they are at their worst. I think everyone here has probably had a time when they've wanted to quit their job or leave a significant other or run in the other direction when faced with adversity while being in an emotional state. When you calm down though, you can also make better decisions. Doesn't mean anyone was an idiot for losing their cool. It happens with things that we truly care about. We get emotional about it. That's life.

I'd openly embrace Nick back into the league if he wants to change his mind about quitting. Guy has done so much for the league, is a person of integrity. I could care less if he had a lapse in judgment while quitting. I see this league lasting for decades and key is keeping the group together whenever possible.
Meh, I disagree. I hate the notion that people would make an emotional decision to quit and then freely come back a couple days/weeks/months later. There is no reason why a GM cannot just step away for a little bit to cool down. Anybody that is quitting based on something like this, was already halfway out the door. The idea of begging them to come back just doesn't make sense.

Not so much. Been an ugly start - partly due to the end of the NHL/NBA season killing the bankroll. So I've been playing lower stakes to start the year, which is an annoying grind.
