Re: Message to Minnesota USAPL Lifters - State Rec

I literally cringe every time I read one of your posts but this one takes the cake.
You have got to be one of the most self-centered pieces of work I have ever had the displeasure to encounter.
How many meets are directed a year in USAPL?
How many members travel at their own expense to help out at meets all over this country? Further how many travel internationally at huge expense so that the lifters have the honor of competing at a well run event?
Have you EVER seen one of these people post an itemized list of what they did and basically demand recognition?
Without the volunteers the federation goes nowhere.
How many paid positions are there within our federation? Not many, and the ones who have them are truly deserving, give a tremendous amount to our sport, and still end up spending their own money to attend events and volunteer their time away from their families and own personal lives.
I do not know of a single person in a paid position who doesn’t end up spending far more than they receive. Not a single one. Think about how they feel reading your petty crap.
Think about how a meet director who basically for the love of the sport donated countless hours to end up losing money and working themselves to a nub.
Do you ever see such behavior from any of these people? NO! Without exception their posts lavish thanks and praise on the people who helped make it happen.
I don’t think I have ever seen you volunteer at a USAPL event. However, I do seem to remember hearing about you thoroughly screwing up the attempt cards at a meet in WI or MN a couple years ago, so perhaps I am mistaken.
To be honest, you look infinitely foolish and perhaps one of the biggest objections I have to your ridiculous rants is you drag down a fine man, in Mitch, just through guilt by association.
Instead of spending all this time thinking about yourself, drawing attention to yourself, and trying to prove to the world what a victim you are, how about spending a single second contemplating every other person who has volunteered in the organization and what an ass you look like with posts like this.
