What I don't  see from you or Eric Henderson is an apology to Ron Van Putte
for the  blatant lies that were written in this forum about Ron's apparent
removal  from the WC's judging pool during the WC.  That, to me, is  an
egregious error made on your part for posting a total erroneous message  from
Eric and then for not stepping up to the plate and apologizing for  it.

Now... That is too bad for this hobby of  ours.



One thing for sure, Derek, nothing has been gained. I'm sure we've all  
known, or THOUGHT we've known, something embarrassing to another  individual.  Even 
so, that doesn't mean we have to crucify one of  our own publicly.  I've 
known Ron for twenty years and he's always been  friendly to ME. I especially 
enjoyed it when he had the little red lips sewed on  the back of his shorts, 
letting you know what to do if you couldn't be friendly  back! (sorry, Ron!)
 
Sometimes, sensitive subjects need discussing; but this is not the forum  for 
that. Nor is it the place to air private emails without  permission.  
Overall, it would be well to re-establish a modicum of decorum  here. Let's get back 
to building the hobby up. 
 
Derek, missed you in Muncie this year....I had a great time, returning from  
medical leave!
