In Response To: Re: Where is all the support (Aaron L)

I have nothing wrong with respecting authority and know one is above the
law... I'm a H.S, Bus. Teacher and demand nothing less than that from my
students.. Where was that written... Once again reading into something that
was not there.

Many of your the members jumped the gun, based on what they "thought" they
knew before ALL the facts were in... Why not wait and see like adults usually
do, before opening ones mouth.

But many seem to relish in the fact that Brian SEEMED to get caught... and
were upset that he lifts in other feds, expanding his own name...

You can not un-throw a stone, once it has been cased.

I will see some of you at the USAPL Quest Inviational being held in Las Vegas
March 24-25 if you get the inviation come up and introduce yourself.

It would be so easy to criticize a lot of things about your post, but I'll try to stick to the substance of the disagreement:

- Don't type that I put words into your keyboard; I just offered my opinion as to why some members would accept the IPF ruling, regardless of how much they disagreed with it.

- So you think that the people that posted, accepting the IPF ruling were childish, because all of the facts weren't in? Well, as far as I know, all of the facts STILL aren't in, yet. But you're sure posting away. (You can search the internet but won't find a post of mine regarding this subject.)

- Regarding your opinion that some seemed to relish the suspension, it's reasonable to make a conjecture that Brian's decision to compete was seen as an act of hubris. (Although hubris would seem uncharacteristic of Brian.)

- It's curious that you would call people's behavior childish, then invite them to come up and meet you....
