I hear the investigation and upcoming meeting has put the VPs and President on edge. Someone said they are more nervous than a Michigan football player on report card day.
Hide nothing, if you have nothing to hide ... If and when there is an investigation (continuation) and if they are doing things in an unlawful way or against the By Laws of the Association (ATA) they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law ... This should be considered dereliction of duty and breaking the trust of all member be them annual or Life Members of that Association, namely the ATA ... If anyone is on edge there is probably a reason a justifiable reason ... Where did you hear or did you observe that anyone was on edge about anything ..? WPT ... (YAC) ...
If I were accused of receiving a $16,500 gun that was against the by-laws I might be on edge. I would be a little more on edge if I voted to give the gun away. May even be on edge if I knew I was not going to get mine because of a rogue forum that allowed whistle blowers.
I usually make it a practice to not reply to NEW Members of this forum only because I do not know who you are or what you represent ... What ROGUE FORUM of "WHISTLE BLOWERS" , would you be referring to ..? I can only tell you that I firmly feel things happen for a purpose and what goes around come around which is why many people are always looking behind them and ready to duck ... Hide Nothing, If you have nothing to Hide ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
Relax WPT, According to the 3 stooges, more like 6 or 7 now, WE are the rogue site and we do allow people to question the almighty ata
If there are only 6 or 7 by now I would be totally shocked ... I even get calls from people (friends) who come here for the real news and up dates on a constant basis ... This being a Rogue site only makes it that much better ... There are many than think but are afraid to say anything openly about things that are discussed on this site ... There are a few Hawkers from other places also who visit on a regular basis then go spread the news ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
They can pass any new rule or by-law but in the end they should be remembered most for receiving a $16,500 gun that was not permitted by our rules. These creeps had plenty to hide. It sucks having to read this crap.
Well this Rogue site got the attention of Mr. Howell enough to ask Mr. Taylor some very important questions about 2012 PULL LLC. Then, and ONLY then did Mr. Taylor disclose his association with 2012 PULL LLC. I guess our 1st amendment rights can bring things out beyond our "Need to Know Basis".
And as the old song goes,"Time on my hands, and you in my sights" Only time and cool minds will prevail. Instead of throwing gas on the fire, let's see what the "meeting" brings forth. It may surprise many. As I heard, hinted, "look for some major action." As Roll Tide says, "The sport will survive! ATA?
Earth to Jack......... The whole reason for the so-called emergency meeting is because a few good men are standing up to the corrupt crooks in our own ATA. You are not a friend of trapshooting if you are implying that we or anyone should shut up at this point. Here is a clue for you Jack. Tell all that live on your planet that this is our sport. This is our organization. This will continue until all the weasels are booted out. Or until there is no ATA. This may take other initials but I don't give a damn what initials it takes. IRS, AG, BATF. They are all coming Jack. Maybe not at this meeting but I guarantee you they are all sniffing at the doors. If you don't want to participate then get the hell out of the way. I suggest the BOD make the right decisions or the guys with the initials will make it for them.
Well probably nothing Snooper.... I see the same old, same old... Nothing will change. Remember the statement made to me: "On a Need to Know Basis"
The inevitability of something happening goes into the sooner or later column ... The Members have shown their dislike and many have quit because of it, attendance has been depleted at the worlds biggest little shoot in Sparta, Ill ... The price you pay is and will always be the price you pay and reflect in the eyes of your peers when (once) all creditability is gone or lost and all a person has left is nothing and no one to turn to ... The Majority of honest and Ethical people that have integrity do not associate with those that do not (birds of a feather thing) and it will catch up one day ... Stand up for what's right even if you stand alone is what my Grand Father always told me as a young kid, and I hear him say that almost every day of my life ... Good words to live by ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
