Sure, either that or to spread said rumor.

So now we are just not supposed to talk about anything that might be negative?
Um, HELL NO!
FAIL!

Yep, your negativity got plenty of play. Congrats that's quite an accomplishment.

Am i supposed to cry over this?
Truth came out, that's all that matters.
Yet another angry one who can't deal.
Have a great day!!!![]()
Funny I don't feel angry. Can't deal with what? Why didn't you finish and ask if I can't deal with the truth? Could it be that you never posted the truth? All you posted in this thread was supposed rumor and trial by innuendo, and, what a surprise, your big important rumor was wrong. Congrats on you, you big seeker of the truth. Heck, Barton has got you fighting the redcoats for us.
The blog and your repeating of it was nothing more than a hatchet job on John Rousseau. The guy used to post here and if I had to deal with him I'm sure he would drive me crazy. Is he the right guy to save the WPBA ? I don't have a clue, nor do I know if it needs to be save or if it can be saved.
What I do know is regardless of who he is or how he acts, he deserves better than to be sniped at by folks with rumor and innuendo. Which is really all you did here. Again, thanks for you big search for the truth.
Now I guess I'll try to go deal with my anger.

Here is Superstar, an anonymous reporter reporting a supposed rumor on a blog by an anonymous blogger:
"Well, I heard the craziest sh!t that I just have to write about. Rumor has it that el presidente has issued a gag order to the players, telling them that they are not allowed to talk to bloggers or post on the boards."
Here is Sara Rousey, a real live WPBA Tour player who posts on AZ in her own name:
"No one said to all of us that we cannot post on forums."
Seems to me that the truth is clear.
Thanks
Kevin
and the rest of the quote seems to be
"No one said to all of us that we cannot post on forums. I take it as more of a 'watch what you say' type of thing"
So the truth seems to be that something was said about watch what you say..

and the rest of the quote seems to be
"No one said to all of us that we cannot post on forums. I take it as more of a 'watch what you say' type of thing"
So the truth seems to be that something was said about watch what you say..now this could have been "watch what you say as it could be misquoted in the media be it print or web" or it could be "watch what you say because it could bite you in the butt legally" it could be "watch what you say if you arent toeing the party (WPBA) line"
Who knows....is bringing attention to it(the rumor) good? If the truth can not stand up to scrunity then what can...if the rumor can not stand up to scrunity then it will be proven to be false.
I personally use my name here. Thats my choice. Do I agree with people who hide behind false names? Depends on why...some I can understand the need for the protection given by fake names...others I can not...but thats me...

Would you enjoy if someone in your local community that didn't like you for whatever reason decided to start a rumor that you were a child molester? The rumor does the damage regardless of what truth later comes out at what price.
Calling people into question without the facts, cloaked under the guise of finding the facts is exactly the definition of a witch hunt. Its also a basic propaganda tactic (much like Superstar ascribing emotions to me that don't exist). This thread was a witch hunt and propaganda directed as an attack on John Rousseau.
Thanks
Kevin
Well to imply someone starting a rumor of me being a child molester *a felony* and a thread asking if a gag order was placed on WPBA players is a little bit different wouldn't you agree? If not then we could discuss this for days and never agree because we are fundamentally coming from different starting points.
As for your definition of a witch hunt once again I think we are starting from different points and once again I am not sure we can reach a mutually satisfactory meeting of the minds..If you do not question to find the facts....then how do you find them? Do you wait for someone to volunteer? To question is a basic tenant of seeking the truth...It is the fundamental basis of the Socratic method...

Rshell, you're my hero today! Well put and well met my erstwhile friend.
And as my daddy always tells me "There's no such thing as a stupid question, only people too stupid not to ask them."

As both Euripides and FrogKissin's Daddy have been quoted, I'll go with my good buddy Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914) :
"RUMOR, n. A favorite weapon of the assassins of character."
Its no big deal. It just seems like a crummy tactic to support to me. None of it matters, JR probably got voted out last night (or is that to happen tonight?).

I am sorry Kevin I just can't resist....
you do realize that "Prattle" Bierce's column could be construed to be one of the first "blogs" considering it mixed literary criticisms..political and cultural commentaries..personal attacks..reprints of letters from his enemies with scathing retorts...and quite often as been stated as a public journal of Bierce's thoughts ....
So in fact he used his power as a published author to point out things he didn't agree with...make fun of things he didn't agree with...and bring to light things he thought were wrong...
like I said...I couldn't resist...the man had his brilliance though..

Players meeting was scheduled to start at 9 AM local today. I am headed over now to start the stream. 9 AM is too bloody early to decide anything.
