Pokedad, I'm starting to think that you're trying to troll me.
I described an attitude on these forums as being like the, "blue wall of silence" and you say that I'm comparing people to cavemen wearing badges.
If you aren't trolling, that is just one weak strawman.
You quoted so much of what I said and kept saying to show you examples from the Nats that just happened (because obviously anything that happened before Nats was so long ago that it's completely irrelevant).
Unfortunately, you missed one quote (funny how you forgot the one part that would have shown how trollish your shouts of, "show me when it happened at Nats" really were).
With all of that being said, please remember that I was not specifically talking about the staffing at any one event.
Feels weird to quote myself. lol
I've played competitively and I've judged my fair share of events, so I am saying what I am saying with the experience from both sides of this.
Trying to troll me does nothing to disprove anything that I have said and I would really appreciate it if you would stop already.
I do have to say that your moving of the goalposts was kind of clunky though.
Chronological postings:
Over and over, judges have come into these threads and asked you, told you, cajoled you, everything but begged you to contact TPCi directly with your specific recounting of firsthand experiences.
If you have been critical of judges in any of the three ongoing threads being used to air complaints about and criticisms of judges, perhaps you critical posters can post the time and date of your sent message to TPCi. Im sure it predates your post here; I expect each of you are responsible members of the Pokemon community, as dedicated to improving the game as the people above who provided the address to send your comments.
I can not imagine an instance where a person simply posted complaints here, but without any real interest in improving our game - having failed to provide specific instances of judge malfeasance to TPCi.
The only times that I ever had a negative experience with staff at any event, I made sure to contact WotC/POP (depending who was running things at the time).
While you may still carry the scar from the game loss your best friend suffered in a City Championship due to a bad call back in the WotC days, no one else cares; let it go. Finally if you are going to complain here, please be specific; and perhaps provide a possible solution to the problem you present. Thanks all.
You bring up that nobody here has a right to say anything negative unless they contact PTCI with their grievances, I point out that I actually have done that when I've had issues, and you respond by saying that the last event I personally had an issue at was too long ago so it doesn't matter and you throw in that trollish comment trying to claim that I'm sore over a city championship under WotC.
Very clunky, very obvious trolling, and a complete lack of finesse when moving the goalposts.

Seriously, I need for you to stop going Glenn Beck on me if I'm going to carry on this conversation.
It's funny that as soon as I bring up something somewhat negative about how some judges/PTOs act, you pretty much start trolling me and throwing around insults while trying to invalidate everything I say through outright mistruths.
Almost like some kind of wall that I referenced earlier. lol
