Recently, the Great Falls Explorers (CBA basketball team) has experienced some financial troubles includin’ not bein’ able to meet payroll and not payin’ rent on the facility in which they play home games. The owner of the team is a guy by the name of Michael Tuckman. Now, I’m all fer givin’ a guy a break when he’s a’runnin’ into money problems if’n he’s a’tryin to make things right. Turns out, he totally refuses to pay any of the back rent he owes. He even got kinda snooty when he was interviewed by the press concerning this problem. So, I wrote him an e-mail expressin’ my disappointment. I found his reply to be very unprofessional and lacking in judgment. I have included the conversation below in its entirety.
Disappointed? Gee, I'll try and go on with my life.

Mr. Tuckman:
The record of poor payment of salaries and expenses incurred by the Explorers is just poor business. When I read that now you are not paying for the facility the team was contracted to, I was dumbfounded. Bad arena contract or not, when you bought the team,
the contract was already in place and I assume you knew that. If not, you didn't complete any due diligence. Your organization is giving
organization that has such low ethical standards. So, I won't be buying any tickets nor will I be sponsoring your team in any way.

I can tell he's rally choked up about this whole mess.
Is it wrong to relish in the thought of what comes around goes around?
Well, if it is, I'm proclaiming myself guilty.
