The FCS: “Is It Fair If an Owner Pulls Players Off Waivers So Others Can’t Use Them?”

There’s always a tale out there about a fantasy commissioner behaving badly. There seems to be no end to a certain faction of knuckleheads who manage fantasy leagues. Here's the tale of a commissioner who decided it was perfectly okay to swap players on someone else's roster.
