I am happy to let your comments speak for themselves.

I've tried being reasonable, I've tried being logical, I've tried being
persuasive to the "96+%" but the final line is that there are many of
those
folks that obviously know so much that none of those ways apply.

You expounded upon the idea that we racing pilots are "no where near as
skilled" as aerobatic pilots. In the first place that is an absurd
comparison. In the second place having never raced yourself you must
little
to no personal knowledge of racing pilots so it makes your statement
baseless. Although I have hundreds of aerobatic hours in both powered and
glider aircraft I would never dream of getting on an aerobatic newsgroup
and
start tossing out opinions of how dangerous competitive aerobatics is
having
never competed.

If it is not clear, I am sick and tired of folks such as you acting like
we
racing pilots are somehow beholding to you. As far as I'm concerned it is
time to begin the process of separating US sailplane racing from the rest
of
it. Then you can have your own little world and legislate away.
