Nice quote, even if it came from a scoundrel :-).

I'm keenly interested in this issue. Filtering opinions on the SSA
site is as fruitless as it is demeaning to the organization.

There's no real need for more SSA policy (I hope). Much better to get
an apology, dissenting opinion out in the open, put the danged reports
back up. I thought one of you was a professor at the local U. Are
you all so PC now you can't deal with a little unfiltered opinion?

Is the SSA contest report website really the place for editorial pieces?
Or fun exaggerated stories? Or is it for news reporting?

The soaring cafe can be whatever it wants. RAS is whatever it is. Blogs
are perfect for opinions.

Please stick to news reporting in the SSA contest reports.

The news is on the scoresheet. All else is color commentary. A
certain amount of personal opinion has been a part of color commentary
since time began... and certainly since Sailplane Racing News was a
four page newsletter with a stamp and a postmark from Reno.

ZL, the sport is dying fast enough. Are you going to be the 'Writers
Police"? TA is simply giving everyone who's anyone a 'contest junkie'
perpective that brings readers into the battle. Otherwise, have one of
the managers write their boring account that puts us all to sleep.
"The winner today was Nucklehead Liebenovich who circled to the left
and then circled to the right and then landed. We ate dried fried
chicken, milky coleslaw,and biscutts
afterwards.sniiioooorkkkkkllllleeeeeeee (head hitting table)"

UH, KM, XM... you better call somebody quick before Logan ends up in
the ****ter as a 'not very friendly place'.

Maybe I should Discard this message...oops...wrong butt..

I can only hope the organizers find another volunteer to replace the
one they removed.
Frank's posts we removed at their request.
Personally, I will read his reports on Soaring Cafe.
I would rather read on SSA.
