I guess that since I post opinions that bother you, I should just stop. Somehow I knew when I saw that you had posted in this discussion, it was some kind of leave Bridge alone statement with a personal attack.
Okay, let me expand a little bit more about what I wrote, because you apparently aren't able to see past any of it because you are so busy trying to protect Bridge, for at least a couple more years anyway.
My interpretation of the discussion notes, and then the question after it could have lead to a discussion concerning credibility. Was the simple question answered, yes, but at least in my mind and opinion, the bigger lingering question remained. So yes, I wrote a response. Obviously, you didn't like it....
In response to some of your more direct questions/statements:
Yes I walked away from my involvement with Bridge. Yes, it was an extremely difficult decision for me personally. No, it wasn't a difficult decision at all with respect to my family. Now you mention committment. Good one. My family made a choice, and yours obviously has too. I'm happy that I had a choice to be able to make. I feel for those that don't feel they have a choice.
Do I know what Bridge would be like today if I remained involved, no, but, I would have been striving for some kind of goals. I really think, if you put aside your personal attacks at me, you would agree that if I wasn't involved in the beginning, Bridge would not have gotten started when it did. Not saying it wouldn't have gotten there, but it surely wouldn't have happened the year it did.
In the original concept of Bridge, yes, if you're involved with Bridge, then you're in fact working for the players throughout the low country. That has changed. People don't like to forget too quickly in the low country. There was a question that was posted to a comment that made reference to a program from U9 to U18 being different than the initial U13 to U18 and others trying to draw it back to the initial set up.
Since it apparently steps on your toes when I post, I'll guess I'll have to stop.
