I certainly don't feel that I had much to do with Eric leaving. I can only think of perhaps a handful of posts where I responded to him. But, to be honest, he reaped what he sowed here. He didn't do much to endear himself to people especially with the way he treated Annika -- who he called a friend. Are you saying you don't understand why people reacted harshly to Eric? -- jvdp Start clearing your calendars http://www.rsgcincinnati.com

Decided to read to see whats up. Doesn't look like I missed much. FTR, RSG-SoCal was a big success. RSG-NW is almost full, and I will be there for a first ever RSG event . Wewt! Must say, I miss you Aussies and should come back to read Annika's posts, off topic or otherwise. I like wit and balls, although I am not so sure now after having written that :P

Does the event have to be attended by RSG regulars to be considered legit? With all of the handles/anonymous posters you could never know who posts and who doesn't. >Did the SoCal tournament actually happen? How many attended? Yep and why does it matter? > Scott posted >about RSG-NW...no response.

I looked back at the past years' attendees at Cincy. Easily more than half of them I get to see only once or twice per year and only at RSG events. Of those, only two or three would I really consider close friends. The rest are all acquaintances who come to play golf, socialize, and have fun. I've gotten a number of emails from lurkers who don't post expressing interest about my event. I guess I don't understand why the events are declining when more people attend every year. >> I can see the analogy of RSG being a 19th hole.

A socially mature adult knows better. Eric has a bit of usenet flamer in him. So what? You saying Brett doesn't? What's the point to "reacting"? Like mother's around the world have said for generations, if someone, say Mike Dalecki, were to jump off a cliff, would you follow? How about a bet! I'll bet 10 bucks you would! ;^) |
