You're basing all your opinions on the assumption that all this information coming from people who are much better connected than any of us is false. Is that any different?

It's different because I am
withholding having an opinion until there's enough information to warrant having one.
There's enough reported about it that I can at least consider that's what Kipper said, but not enough that it could easily be any number of alternatives (Kipper tells Feaster, after hearing the trade rumours really heat up, that he's been planning on retiring at the end of the season, not to stop a trade, but to HELP Feaster and save him the loss of face if he traded Kipper and Kipper then retired).
To me there's a lot of difference between saying "If Kipper said such and such that's a bit distasteful but it's still within his rights" and "Kipper did this everyone should boo him" (not saying that's what you said, just illustrating the extremes in potentials).
