MESSAGE BOARD POSTINGS
I have been reading the Message Board, and lately have received several calls about the personal attacks that are so frequent. PLEASE STOP. I would appreciate it if we all focus on the issues facing Senior Softball instead of the personalities of the message board membership. What a person has to say here on the issues is important for us all to consider, regardless of how much personal information about themselves the person posting cares to reveal.

Thank you!

Can't take the heat so you run and get Fran(mom)
to help fight for you.
Sounds like the kind of people
I learned you to be.

My email is a matter of record.
Anyone wants to discuss anything of any merit
let me know.
If you are a registered individual on this website and I see a question or topic,
I'll respond as I see fit.

Anyone who knows the identity of any of the clowns
I've been relating to, send it along to me.
I appreciate it and will keep you out of the loop.
Lastly, I will deal with cheaters, with bats and otherwise
on my terms and will hold accountable anyone
who tries to take advantage of me or my teammates
and friends.

FRAN: U r 100 % correct. Hats off to u. I & many others owe u an apologue(s). Not only r u running a Business, a Message Board, but, u r answering E-MAILS, taking phone calls, returning phone calls, & a great many more task.

EINSTEIN: Please, my friend,do not attack FRAN. I would not want her job, even 4 one day.
U do not need to explain, Joe. U can answer any question that u want. (( This also, applies to any one that goes on line & post a message.)) AGAIN, JOE, please, respond in, 4 a lack of a better word; in a "proper" manner.

2 wrongs do not make a right, Joe. It is hard to watch SENIORS, "bad mouth" one another!! Joe, the SENIOR MAJOR PLUS players that know u & yer team mates, do not believe that M.K.'s, team used ILLEGAL BATS. Rick, Mike, Joe, Bam, Tom, Don, J.C., etc have your back.

This subject of ILLEGAL BATS, has gotten out of hand, Joe. This subject has made me sick & others. How can we get on w/ our lifes, JOE?

To all. I am sorry, that I did cause some of this problem, by, putting my 2 cents in. I do not need an ILLEGAL BAT or want to use one.

PLAY BALL & HAVE FUN..... HAVE FUN...The STONEMAN

Hey Einstein, What did you not understand about Fran's request to "PLEASE STOP"? You just "have" to have the last word, don't you.

Stoney,
You missread my response.
It had nothing to do with Fran.
Fran's a doll and worth her weight in gold.
I was talking about and to others,
not her.

Having been a football coach and athletic director at the high school level for 30 years, I know well the enormous responsibility that is involved in running a large tournament. When 20 or 30 teams show up for a track state tourney, you have to trust that each and every school has followed the guidelines and rules laid down by the state athletic association. Every once in a while a coach will bring an ineligible athlete, knowing he shouldn't be there just to try and win. The SSUSA staff can only lay down guidelines, rules and orgainize. "WE" the players have to police our game and help the staff. We must report teams who load a AA team with Major players just to win a ring. Report teams that have the balls to paint a gray Ultra. Some on this site are always ready to critize. Hey, start your own association if you can do it better. Fran, Terry, and Ridge with SPA, keep up the good work. If it wasn't for you guys, we would all be playing fall park district in our home states. For you who continue to cheat on a regular basis, stop by the local emergency rooom, they might be able to do something for your rectal-crainial inversion!

Hey Gary,
Nothing but cudos for Fran and her husband.
They're the best.
They're conscientious hard working, enthusiastic
and genuinely interested in doing whatever they can for our betterment and enjoyment.

You're right.
We need to police our own game.
To do that, the average player needs to know
that we are in the majority,
that there are more of us
and that we are stronger than them.
Then, it will be easier for them to show their support.
Right now, like given some of the entries on this message board, they probably can't tell if there's more cheaters
than not.

We need to become louder and clearer
so players will know who to follow.

No more cheaters, whether it's altered bats or
inelligible players.
Everyone plays by the same rules
so we can truly compete and have fun.
