Jortles was shopping Stapleton for weeks and no one bit. He even publicly said that he was giving him away for cheap.
People give up on acts all the time. Remember when sang was trying to dump Dixie Chicks last draft? Or how Fred got Bowie for Depeche Mode and also essentially gave away VU? Pepe gave up a shit ton for NiN and I think Tame and he won.
You could easily say “Stapleton was picked in the 8th round” but you’d be ignoring how he didn’t fit on his lineup and the fact that many other people turned down offers similar to this. If that many people turned it down, that should tell you that he might not have been worth the 8th round tag.
This is also not entirely true, so stop giving missing information.
How is it not true?
I didn't say it is not true, I said it is not ENTIRELY true. It wasn't just Bowie for DM, or just giving away VU. You're ignoring the rest of those trades.

There were smaller acts but those trades were both universally accepted as lopsided. It’s hypocritical for you to challenge this. And you haven’t even put together a full case here. Just a very lazy job on your part.

You’re getting personal here, and there is no point, so I think you should just stop.
cdevaney, I’m withdrawing my request for this poll.

I don’t know you as a person but it’s annoying to see someone challenge a trade of mine when they have done the same thing themselves. You were the one who challenged with almost zero points and then got sarcastic when I asked you to provide any argument.
trantsgiving , it's completely fine that we might disagree on certain things. But I think there are certain ways to express these disagreements. Calling someone "hypocritical" or "lazy" is not the way to do it.
You may not know me personally (and I know this is the internet and all), but I think this doesn't necessarily mean that it's okay to call anyone anything. Also, both of us are regular posters here, and more or less have an idea of each other after couple of years IMO. I just believe there should be some boundaries, and I think you just crossed one.
And if you really need an argument: I thought the trade was lopsided, only because, you end up getting a headliner level act, and a legendary act in exchange of a 6th-7th line act and two more picks. And I just expressed my opinion that it is not fair. I don't think it needs any other argument. You could've just said, "okay, here's my counter-argument, I think both Jortles and I are okay with that and this shouldn't be a problem, but it's okay for someone else to think that it's not fair, and we'll just see what everyone else thinks about it at the poll." But instead, you just became over-defensive, brought up trades I did in infinity trade draft (which nobody challenged then, so it leads me to think that most people was fine with it), and ended up calling me things.
But it really doesn't matter in the end. I don't care anymore, please have Chris Stapleton, and I hope you win again as you did last time. Clearly you care a lot.
I'm also completely aware that I caused drama although I said I didn't wanna cause more of it. Apologies to everybody for that. It will be because of the situations like these that I'll become tired of posting and sharing on Inforoo.
