I am going to lock this thread, do some investigation into the references in the posts and then decide what to do with this thread.
MLB#33, if you have problems such as this, you should either pm the person you have a problem with or contact a Moderator such as I to look into the problem. WHAT WON'T HAPPEN IS THAT THIS SITE BE USED AS A FLAMING BOARD.
If you have particular posts that you have a problem with, pm me.

In reviewing the topic, “Tournament Results,” it becomes apparent that some type of agenda existed before that topic started. Either that or by some miracle several “New Members” or “Members” with 10 or fewer posts suddenly decided to chime in. Interestingly enough, they are all associated together. You’d have to agree that this seems somewhat strange. I’m sure that all of us “Old Timers” can reflect back to the barrage of posts, often referred to by me as a “swarm of locusts” that we were deluged by last year promoting various travel organizations/businesses where those “agendas” became apparent and thus, those posters not only were barred from this site, they did a disservice to the reputation of the organization that they represented. Please understand that this is an explanation for why several posters such as Itsrosy and others are quick to question any such threads and not as a threat.
Nevertheless, nothing seemed out of line and in fact, I viewed that thread and now quote Itsrosy, “Very well stated. Fair enough.” Which was in response to Name deleted per request post explaining his experience with your organization. I further quote Itsrosy in response to Coach03, “Coach03, Now I know better. Sounds good. Welcome to the site.” One further quote by Itsrosy in response to dogleg, “dogleg, My last two posts should make it clear, after reading the comments from 07pddad and Coach03 that I may have been too judgmental without knowing all the facts. (I can't believe I did that, what a shock! LOL).”
MLB#33, now I take you to task for starting the thread, “If it smells fishy, if it sounds fishy, maybe itsrosy.” Clearly, Itsrosy went out of his way responding to several posts (see quotes) and, in no way deserved your response. The creation of this thread, in response appears nothing more than you taking an opportunity to further promote your organization and credentials. Therefore, I will edit your post. This site is a tremendous asset for us all. Several people promote their teams and do a great service for their kids. If that is your intent then enjoy. Again, we won’t become a flaming board. We won’t attack other posters on this site and call them out as to their credentials. Certainly, I have credentials. How they measure up to anyone else’s, WHO CARES! Of course the #1 credential I have on this site is that I act responsibly as a Moderator to ensure that this site remains an asset for all of us.
