Damn, they are renting space in your head for cheap! ha ha.
CSI banned me from BCA state tournament due to a google review

On the one hand, I doubt this is the way Mark would have wanted CSI to handled this.
We killed many a brain cell drinking beers after hours at a few Vegas events and time at dinners, phone calls and what not. The folks currently at CSI should pause and ask themselves if they are modeling what Mark's spirit was all about.
OTOH, you have pretty much screwed the pooch with your Scorched Earth approach so now you will have to harvest those results.
No one wins. I suggest you give it a bit and hopefully you and CSI can come to a resolution. Undoubtably you will have to make the first move.

Pretty sure the current administration did away with any type of consumer rights divisions.CSI may be in violation of the CRFA. You can't punish a consumer for publishing a negative review.
Consumer Review Fairness Act: What Businesses Need to Know
The Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA) protects people’s ability to share their honest opinions about a business’s products, services, or conduct, in any forum, including social media. Is your company complying? Contracts that prohibit honest reviews, or threaten legal action over them, harm...www.ftc.gov
This has nothing to do with consumer rights. BTW, Trump did not change the CFA but they did modify/amend the CFPB. Neither has any bearing on this nitty pool shit.

My vet did the same thing knowing there isnt another vet within 100 miles of my small town. Not caring at all about the health of my animals and making it about a grudge against my review. This also happened with a property management company years back. They would not rent to me again. Forks Washington. Customer service no longer exists anymore. Indifference is at an all time high.

Easily the dumbest thing I've read all week.
My points were more to the fact that what people believe is right/ wrong is often not right/ wrong.
We got more. Don't give up yet.
Btw, what did Predator do to Diamond mentioned in your review?
"Predator can suck it for what they did to Diamond"
"Predator can suck it for what they did to Diamond"
He was an ass from what I recall communicating with others.
He strikes me as a no-nonsense guy. Doesn't suffer fools lightly. A player sends him 50 emails, he fires them. He gets things done instead. That's my impression after watching (from afar) CSI continue to grow the past 10-15 years since he took over.
Yeah I did some searching. I think he got banned for having multiple accounts. It had a lot to do with how they treated JCIN after the takeover. I think they sort of took advantage of his whole TAR operation and sent him on his way.
If league pool was a buy or sell stock -- I'd sell right now at a high. I think they are going to hit a wall in the next couple of years because one of their systemic advantages is being able to rate players, and then use this insider information to field competitive team events. Players qualify, get rated, and go play their state team event.
Well as payouts dwindle -- it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize they can just run their own big unaffiliated event. Payouts are almost always better at these types of events. All the rating work has been done with Fargo ratings being available. Here in Michigan, where the OP'er is from, another unaffiliated big event has been announced -- The Grand Rapids Open.
Once players leave these leagues I'm not sure they'll have enough young players coming up to replace them. I could be wrong. Guess we'll see in the coming years.

I love that. Very cool. I bet they will reply back with some type of a Narcissistic, and Blunt reply though.
Your ignorance is showing its ugly ass:
Origin of the Phrase
- The exact wording “praise in public, criticize in private” doesn’t come from a single ancient source, but the idea is rooted in classical rhetoric and leadership principles.
- Early Roots: Philosophers like Seneca (1st century CE) and Plutarch wrote about the importance of giving feedback tactfully, encouraging leaders to avoid humiliating subordinates.
- Religious Influence: The Bible contains similar guidance — for example, Matthew 18:15 advises addressing a fault privately first, rather than shaming someone publicly.
- Modern Usage: By the mid-20th century, the phrase appeared frequently in management and military training manuals. It became a staple in business leadership books during the 1970s–80s, when workplace psychology and “positive reinforcement” approaches became mainstream.
- One of the earliest popularizers was Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach (1960s), who was quoted as saying he always corrected players in private but praised them in front of the team.
- Later, Ken Blanchard’s 1982 book “The One Minute Manager” helped spread this principle widely in corporate management.
Where It Is Utilized Today
- Business & Management: Managers are trained to use public praise to boost morale and private criticism to protect dignity and maintain trust. It’s a core leadership training principle.
- Education: Teachers often adopt the same approach with students to encourage motivation while avoiding embarrassment.
- Military & Law Enforcement: Leaders are trained to commend achievements in front of the group but address shortcomings privately to preserve unit cohesion.
- Coaching & Sports: Coaches frequently follow this guideline to keep team morale high while still improving individual performance.
- Parenting & Mentorship: Family and youth guidance literature also promotes this principle as a way to foster respect and positive development.
In short: The phrase grew out of ancient leadership wisdom, was crystallized in 20th-century management and coaching culture, and is now a universal best practice in leadership, teaching, and mentoring.
I think it's funny that you think they are the ones that feed me. LOL
I don't see it that way. I see it as someone who just doesn't take shit and tell him how I feel and fuck them if they don't like it
Fair enough. But I honestly don't think I'm interested in anything going forward. But I do appreciate your comments
We were talking about Ozzy Reynolds getting banned from AZ.
