mreed911 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Are the Brian Enos forums somehow connected to USPSA? What's the fear hear that causes threads to get shut down. USPSA, as a political organization whose members are elected, is... political. So threads will be political. Is there not a place to discuss these (even if a "sporting politics" sub were created)? Asking sincerely - there MUST be a place to discuss among the membership the goings on of the elected leaders in the organization. Any word on WHY the Area 7 AD was removed?

They said his membership had lapsed for a few days before he got his lifetime membership. The area 6 director pointed out there was no bylaw requiring an area director to have a continuous membership as well, but they're not going to let the rules get in the way...

Diver123 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Its pathetic. Frank was in office for a solid year before they suddenly discovered this. If he was one of the boys it never would have even been looked into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver123 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 You can go on facebook to the area pages except if you are area 1. The post was closed by admin after one comment. Two of the admins there happen to be board members of USPSA. Well one is again since he stepped down but now wants to be involved again. Confusing or planned hard to say.

As I understand, Brian Enos doesn't care for non-shooting talk, and still holds some sway even though he isn't running the place anymore, since it's his name on top of the page.

LHshooter Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I guess Ben Stoeger will be releasing a YouTube video about this latest AD replacement shortly. There is getting to be too much drama in USPSA admin. I'm just a regular member that doesn't participate in major matches and the inner workings of USPSA but it's getting out of hand, even for me.

Asking sincerely - there MUST be a place to discuss among the membership the goings on of the elected leaders in the organization. The Brian Enos forums have no connection to USPSA. The guidelines have been in place since Brian started the forum at least two decades ago and are integral. He wanted a place to talk about shooting, not drama or malfeasance, no matter how much it "needed to be said". BE can't be all things to all people. There was a forum dedicated to the drama. It died. We're letting this thread be for now, but please keep posts to facts, not opinion or personal attacks or they may be removed without notice. Drama and conflict in shooting sports has always been there. One of my favorite quotes is "people with guns shouldn't form clubs". I heard it in the early 1990s, but it was around a long time before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich406 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) They get bolder and bolder with each removal. It started with the bannings and continues with the removal of duly elected board members. Each removal is more ludicrous than the one before. They have no regard for the membership who voted these people into office. There is literally no consequences to their actions, none of them plan on running for reelection because they know they wouldn't win. What else can be done to them? nothing.
