Yes, I realize this is ugly business and shouldn't be put out there but when you see posting with headlines such as this you feel compelled to respond.

"Cronyism permeates the corrupt US International Team Committee selection process for the 18-meter class (and likely others)"

Posts like this simply make your stomach turn. Go ahead and read it. So sad to see somebody unable to recognize their own shortcomings. Bragging is no replacement for actual performance. Rather then work toward improvement, SF lashes out and try to blame others. Sad.

IMO, internet rantings, first person criticism, "assassinations" of volunteer leadership, and child-like whining only have a negative impact and will never accelerate one's soaring career. Wake up hopefuls; get the message!

And to those crying "ugly", where was your "voice" when the rantings, criticism, "assassinations", and whining first appeared?
