If, however, it is not repealed, you WILL either comply with it, or you will leave the game. People like me will make sure of that.

 I may not like all the rules, but I do follow them. And I will make sure you do to if you bowl against me. If you refuse after having been informed of the infraction, I will have any scores you shot disqualified and thrown out.

Something similar has already happened.
 
Around 2 years ago to me, I was confronted over the current rules concerning the recent changes to static weights governing no-thumb bowlers who have a thumbhole.  (CG is now in the bridge)

The big problem with that is I was confronted/harrassed by a PBA member when I was bowling during OPEN PLAY.  (Really, it's OPEN PLAY!  Who gives a crap!)  He also gave me crap when I was shopping at a local Target store.  (He's a MUCH larger guy than I am)

I've contacted the PBA as well as local police about the Target incident, but I don't have the correct full name of the guy, but I would think the PBA  could narrow down who it is and have a word with him.

I think in this type of situation you just have to realize you're dealing with a crazy person who, most likely, has problems with himself.  You just have to say whatever is appropriate to diffuse the situation, whether you agree with what you're saying or not.  The goal is just to make that person go away. 

But to that point, I do see someone like BeerLeague (BeerLeague, I AM NOT saying YOU in particular) who is old school, appeals to tradition, "we've always done it this way", "THEY'RE the problem" who IS likely to want to pick a situation over someone simply not tolerating someone who is not playing by the same set of rules. 

Again, I agree the USBC sucks at a lot of things, but you can't have someone competing in sanctioned competition that is playing by their own personal set of regulations.  In non-sanctioned play or tournaments, guys should feel free to use weight holes or super juice ball juicer or whatever that shit is during competition.

 There’s a reason behind that name.   ::) ;)

Wait, WHAT?

So you are saying that during OPEN play, some PBA guy confronted you about the current rules? Then later, followed (or just happened to see you there) you to Target and started up again?

Something says to me that this isn't about bowling.

Yes, that is what I'm saying.  Asked around about him and am told that he is believed to be a PBA Regional player.   Never even met the guy before the incident.

I'm wondering if he thinks that because he's a card holder that his poop doesn't stink.

I don't care how big he is, I would tell that guy to go piss-up-a-rope.

My disposition would have changed drastically at Target.

Something along the lines of:

I’m going to tell you this once. Get the (bleep) out of my face.

You have more tact than me. I would have told him to go f*** himself at the bowling alley.

I really try to be non-confrontational. I like the places I bowl at and wouldn’t want to cause trouble for them.

But show up at another place and continue to attack me, then it becomes a threat to me. Time to stop that stuff ASAP.

Yea, but if as the poster said, I'm open bowling and he wants to bitch to me about my ball in regards to USBC rules? Let's just say I'm not going to be a nice guy about it.

Believe me guys, I wanted to really tell the guy off.  But considering I was already in trouble in the law for possession and detonation of fireworks, I need to play things cool.  Not at all legal in Illinois, whatever   :( 

I did my best just to laugh it off and believe in karma - this dude will eventually get what's coming to him.
