I attempted to respond to this but unfortunately my irritation led me to take so long I was logged out. I should take that as a hint but the truth is I don't think I can leave this alone.

While this discussion seems to be winding down, I will also post once more in an effort to further clear the air.

If you really think what follows is clearing the air, I'd hate to see what you would have said to fan the flames.

I wasn't trying to imply that you specifically felt that way, rather that self-satisfaction is potentially the only positive (if you can call it that) effect someone is going to get out of posting snide or sarcastic remarks.

Surely you can see that if I was insulted by what you said before, repeating it is going to make me feel insulted again?

You're not wrong that certain staff members sometimes make unflattering posts, and I'm not excusing them when they do happen, but I think it's important to keep in mind that those guys (and girls) have dedicated a lot of time and effort into this game. They can become flustered and frustrated when they receive unconstructive criticism, and in turn, lash out with negatives comments of their own. It's an ugly cycle.

You say you won't excuse the staff, but then not only do you excuse them, you go on to blame the users, presumably including me, for the staff's behaviour.

We're now so far off the topic as to be ridiculous, not just the topic of the thread but of my post and yours that I referred to. In the hope of both of us not looking more riduculous lets stop arguing about sarcasm and its potential usefullness.

16 weeks are over and my team has to pay full salary floor payment. But the 16 weeks were helpful.

Last home game: 15600 Fans (100% full)

My arena:
Bleachers : 13225 (Current Price: $15)
Lower Tier : 1850 (Current Price: $60)
Courtside Seats : 500 (Current Price: $190)
Luxury Boxes : 25 (Current Price: $1200)
Total Capacity : 15600

The arena is currently undergoing expansion, to add:
Bleachers: 1545
Lower Tier: 50
Courtside Seats: 0
Luxury Boxes: 5
The expansion will be complete in approximately 6 days.

So the coach has to work very hard now to increase the performance.

From time to time a better player will be bought, but I think to be competitive even in the first UAE-league it will take more than 2 seasons more. But I am satisfied with the developments.

Thank everybody for their help.
