So Ron, the section of Frank's report that the management found objectionable has been pointed out....... but why it was thought to be unacceptable has not been clearly defined or explained. That would help us better understand the reason and possibly (or not) agree with the decision. Personally, I think Frank breathes a lot of fresh air into contest reports without resorting to "How many words can I write" tactics.

Censorship is silly.
The idea of Unofficial vs. Official contest reports is silly. We should be celebrating the wide range of passion, experience, opinions, flying skills, and writing skills we have in this sport. Don't remove something just because you disagree with it. Add your disagreement to the conversation and let everyone read both opinions. I don't know Frank, but I want to read more from him, not less. And I don't want to have to go looking in some special place to find his stories. |

Horse****.....and to add insult to the whole mess is we have to read,
correction, see the dry chicken maker boring crap on 'SoaringCafe' after he chase TA away. If RG and TT had a problem with the accuracy of TA reports and where his take on the flight was, than TA should have been given the opportunity to reflect this with an updated report to allow us to follow on with an exciting contest. These two ruin a fun thing. I apologize in advance if working with TA was tried and he refused. R |

We have continued to encourage Frank to document his experiences and let us know where the reports are so we can include links on the SSA contest site. Gary and Walt, I am sure we can debate this till our fingers fall off so I am categorizing this as we can agree to disagree. One day left of the 15 Meter Nationals, the scores are close and I am looking forward to seeing the race won in the air today! BTW Frank is in 2nd place going into the last day!

I don't think the official contest reports on the SSA site should be turned into an "open mike".... Agreed. But I think that, as the editorial authority, Contest Management has the power to 1. censor 2. edit 3. publish an alternative viewpoint in reverse order of desirability. -Pat |

Of course Gleason all of you decide on practice day to tell TA not to
report on the SSA site rather than wait until day 5 or 6 as only one of lower class would do. Good thing TT gave you his good advice to avoid the obvious and bring about the possibilities of the Logan staff appearing.....shallow. Take a long hard look at the 'results and report' page on the SSA site boys. 5 maybe 6 days missing from the report side,at the 15M Nationals. A volunteer .... just trying to do his part. Like the two of you. Thanks R Frank, you come on down south to Cordele and write all you want, what you want. How the lightning bolts and thunder made you believe the CD was crazy. How I got lucky the first two days and lawn darted all the rest. You take what is and make a story. No boys....down south we don't censor....we just make more sweet tea. |

Hold on here now!!!! When the Contest Manager asks Frank to be the 'contest reporter' and post his comments on the official site, that pretty well settles the issue in my mind. Zero One |
