USBC would like to censor this column
« on: May 10, 2010, 06:06:39 AM »
This could never appear in the bowl.com forums, and USBC would also have it censored in the pba.com forums ...

Why would they censor it? Is there something false in it?

Wish some of that was false but it is all true.

Hopefully the USBC will fall apart sooner rather than later so the pieces can be picked and steps can be taken to fix the sports issues.

I'll state my position again.  When the USBC dies, it will be a GOOD thing for bowling.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with mainzer.  I think it is about time that the USBC take a really hard look at itself and figure out what it can and can't control.  The pieces that it can't control, the USBC should utilize any resource possible to reach out to any group or sponsor with money who is willing to fix that particular piece.

True or not, how about some honesty on why it is not on those other forums....cause you got banned from them for being a trouble maker. And now you are here to bring your manure to this forum too.....oh joy.

Dear jorge300:

Attack the messenger if you must ... BUT PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

I have NOT BEEN BANNED from either the bowl.com or pba.com forums.

Whereas it's true that I posted more than 10,600 times in the bowl.com forums prior to the NEW CENSORSHIP TERMS adopted by that forum as of last Aug. 3, the fact that I haven't posted there IS MY CHOICE -- and NOT because I was barred. In fact, I was not even warned.

As for the pba.com forum, I post there almost every day (including today) ... although admittedly, many of my posts were deleted (along with MANY OTHERS' POSTS) when 17 threads were recently deleted when the pba.com moderators were PRESSURED BY USBC to remove those threads.

Dear jorge300:

You seem to attack anything I say, and I acknowledge your right to do so.

However, when you indicate that I have been banned from posting in any bowling forum, you are TOTALLY WRONG.

With regard to my column, what SPECIFICALLY do you take issue with -- outside of your quest to "kill the messenger"?

jorge is a good one to talk. His opinion is always correct if your opinion differs he is on you like white on rice.

Ignore him, he will go away like the bad rash he is. The only manure in this forum jorge and he reeks.

Dear mainzer:

Jorge300 will say that virtually anything I post is "manure" (or something else, not always even THAT polite). But I've come to expect that from him.

I'd like to hear what SPECIFIC facts and/or issues that I stated in my column that he disagrees with. Instead, I suspect that -- as usual -- he will only attack the messenger (me) and not the message.

It's a fact that Mr. Tom has said there will be NO NEGATIVITIES ALLOWED on bowl.com, and that anything posted there that reflected such negativity would be soundly deleted.

 I also have no doubt that, if possible, he would flex his USBC muscles and have any post he doesn't like deleted from pba.com. Maybe by threatening to pull USBC funding, he could get the PBA's cooperation.

 Oh wait, isn't he leaving the USBC to actually go to the PBA? Maybe THAT'S why negative things on pba.com keep disappearing.

"USBC leadership affirms serious financial difficulties, and the national governing body of bowling has seemed to have lost touch with members and delegates to the recent national convention in Reno."


When USBC was formed it was suppose to be a way to combine and save money for different governing bodies. They proceeded to not down size in their governing bodies and spend spend spend by creating this new facility in Texas. So all these high corporate people kept their jobs and added a new building to go with it.

AWESOME!!!! Yes they will fail because they are too stupid for their own good.
