All,
Yes, it was all a joke. Thank you for your emails. The book will be out
sometime next spring.
I was of course taking the micheal of the many, many, MANY complaints about
recent tournaments on Britdisc. I was getting fed up of people filling my
inbox with their moans and whinges. Hell, I play this sport because I love
it and because I love the people. If a tournament has cold showers, I'm sure
it has other redeeming features. No pitchside water? Bring a water bottle.
Sketchy pitch markings? Think of it as modern art.
I just wanted to try and make a point about how ridiculous it all is. I
don't believe that attending a tournament which was 100% perfect then gives
you the right to email everyone in the community with your gripes and moans.
If I walked into a pub full of your friends and moaned at you for half an
hour, you'd be pretty hacked off. You wouldn't do it, would you? I think
it's fair enough that we should extend the same courtesy to those people who
run tournaments.
The internet is a wonderful forum, because it allows the share of important
information (well, porn), but it also gives people the courage to slag off
tournaments and people in a way that they would NEVER do so to their face.
It especially annoys me when those who complain write with the gramatical
competency of a twelve year old (no offence to twelve year olds).
Perhaps bear this in mind next time you come back from a tournament, and
have a grievence. Share it with the TD, share it with the board, but don't
share it with every other bugger on BD.
Thanks for listening, your kind words, and incredidog.
Dan
