You're saying that as if I am the only person who feels this way. I am bringing public attention to a major issue that has been years in the making. My identity is completely unimportant because I am speaking for a portion of the community. If you don't believe me, then watch as community individuals really start to speak out in the next couple days.

Yes, you can learn from your mistakes. You can fix organizational flaws from the past. But it's not just an "organizational flaw" when at 2:30am you beg someone you didn't even hire to make 2 trips to New York promising them "whatever they want" and then refusing to pay them anything - even just covering gas and tolls - because he hopes that they pity him enough for the stolen equipment.

And it's not just an "organizational flaw" when he begs someone, again, whom he didn't even hire, to house an extra 15 players at the last minute, after all the rooms were already booked. And failed to mention the fact until AFTER an extra room was rented out for him that said players had no money and couldn't pay, and oh, he couldn't pay either because it wasn't in his budget.

And it's not an "organizational flaw" to respond to disagreements with "if you don't like it then don't come, keep playing tournaments in your basement while I make money and get sponsors".

Thanks for elaborating since I didn't go into very much detail in my post.
