Is it just me or are the responses weird?
I was reading the thread on Danny Harriman and his problems with the UPA. He explains why he quit a match with Duell while he was getting trounced and his frustrations that led up to this. In the responses people state that "the UPA is fully responsible", "UPA is doing wrong", "dysfunctional organization that can't manage their finances" "Upa owes him the money" "shame on the UPA for bothering a player during a tournament" "perhaps felt he would be physically harmed" "pitiful attempt at a union".
The fact is Behrman stiffed him not the UPA. The fact is he owed his $100 membership fee to remain part of that group and it sounds like he didn't want to pay it. I don't know how many others Behrman stiffed but wouldn't it make more sense to attack him and take action to make him pay up rather than passing the blame to an organization that is trying to prevent this from happening? Or did the UPA make a promise to cover for Behrman if he didn't pay?
Maybe someone has some better facts instead of weird speculations.
