was the ion thread pulled- i certainly hope so... this is a great place to post about swimming not get into arguments which digress into name calling... there's enough rubbish on the 'net as it is... let's keep this place positive and enjoyable....
had to vent...
lots of love....

Has Ion been sent back into the ether again?
It's as if that whole riot never happened...
No I wasn't.
But it's proof that this place is not into crytical thinking.
It is into politically correct make ups.
In the thread that was deleted I was calling this supression of quest for quality in a list of requirements for better standards in USMS, similar to what the religious Taliban fundamentalists are doing in Afghanistan:
unfounded sentimental feel good for a few conservative and stale but no crytical skills in analytical thinking.
A very competitive USMS swimmer wrote to me this:
"I think I'm going to start going to the USMS site less and look at others. I've been leaning that way for a while now. All in all it's not very interesting most of the time."
I will be most of the time at usswim.org, since it has some mighty knowledgeable swimming fans in the 'Fans' section over there and I have an affinity with them.
