Dear BBKL:
It is with great sadness and regret that I must inform you of my decision to resign as General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks, effective immediately. I respect this league, and value it's members, and it is for that reason that I am electing to resign.
I re-entered this league with the intention of picking up where I left off, however, I have been unable to regain the same interest level that made me a valuable, albeit controversial member of BBKL. My decision goes beyond commitments to work and extracurricular activities, the passion that I once had for this league is gone, and I can't seem to regain it. I'm sure this must seem like a rash decision, but I assure you that that this decision was not made in haste, I have spent the better part of the past year considering resignation, but held off for fear of doing something I may regret. The truth is that I was more afraid to lose my position in BBKL than I was excited to be apart of it. It's really telling when simply logging onto BBKL feels like a chore rather than a fun past-time, and that is how it's felt for a while now. It never used to be this way, which is why my activity and productivity has fallen off a cliff. This league can do better, and it deserves better.
I understand that by resigning for the umpteenth time that I will never be granted entry back into this league, and I have taken that into strong consideration. If at all possible, I would like to remain an active member of this forum, but understand if that is not possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for respecting my wishes, and best of luck moving forward. I'd also like to thank Nick personally for vouching for me this entire time, it couldn't have been easy given my non-activity. I'm sorry I couldn't have rewarded your confidence, just know that I tried too renew my passion for BBKL, I really, really tried... If any of you have any further questions, I am happy to answer them.
P.S. Mik you can choose whichever 2nd round equivalent prospects you like from my team as collateral for our bet.

Re: Dear BBKL:
kinda saw this coming ….. good luck in the future and all that shit
Re: Dear BBKL:
One of the best GMs and members in the history of all of BBKL. Controversy was your middle name but thats what made the league fun and exciting. You'll be missed but I think deep down we still expect you to be back.
Re: Dear BBKL:
I unfortunately never got to see Kareem in his shit-stirring prime.
I did appreciate his support last summer when I was trying to join and shared a lot of the same opinions on the Leafs.
Hope you are enjoying whatever else in your life is keeping you preoccupied.

Re: Dear BBKL:
You put a lot of thought into your decision; I'll do my best with WSH!
Re: Dear BBKL:
dislike seeing oldschool members leave. Is what it is though. Good luck moving forward.
Re: Dear BBKL:
Yeah definitely thought this was inevitable over the summer, to be honest.
Good luck in the future.
