SwissVan Posted August 18, 2015 Share heck no, not on this issue. I am with everyone else, just cause you a youngster does not mean you should just sit and take it. fight back - but make sure you do it correctly. wait is that another lesson.. Are you trying to work your "hub job" out of business, if we did everything correctly how many moderators would be needed? And then of course, your version of correctly might differ from the next persons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBO Posted August 18, 2015 Share I have a problem with people taking to social media to sort out personal agendas. And don't tell me this is not personal. Clearly the OP is still just a child with a chip on his shoulder. If he was anymore matured, he would have taken it up with CSA in the first place. Does his father agree with this? "Don't worry about your prize son, we will show them on social media" I teach my kids to stand up for themselves, but tonight will show them this, and tell them this is not the way to do it. Next he will be left out of a representative team (whether provincial or national) and also go to social media and cry fowl and how unjust "they" are. Did any of you guys that's defending the OP's action ever thought that this maybe was in fact an innocent oversight and maybe that the OP is milking it a bit?

The organizers son is involved and all of sudden prizes change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted August 18, 2015 Share If I were an organiser or in any other way 'wronged' by a social post I would sort it out directly with the person not here in public, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackster Posted August 18, 2015 Share Sometimes you've just gotta say, 'life's too short to worry about this nonsense' and move on. Other times you've gotta say, 'no way Jose, this is wrong and I'm not backing down till you make it right'. After this whole affair is done and dusted, the kid will know whether he chose the right response or not. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulst12 Posted August 18, 2015 Share I wonder how Clotan Steel would feel about this type of topic? If my sponsored event raised this type of furour, I would have a quiet word with the organiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted August 18, 2015 Share Combine this post with the one about S2C / FG doing the rounds and somebody gets banned from the event. Sounds like lots of egos on the boil, it was always the other guy who was rude and offensive and I just wanted what was fair - I was the angel . ja right.This will be a classic your story, my story, the truth and seven other versions. Is that the one with a woman who was peddling her ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewep Posted August 18, 2015 Share 3 sides. And Louis has not come on here to put his side. Face Plant has acknowledged the mistake and promised to fix it (let's see if he does, peecha evidence FP). But threatening someone to go "viral", dude, serious. It's a race in the Vuildriehoek and not a provincial or Epic. Btw, I've met Louis Sr a few times and he is a true gentleman. I am sure you are not telling all that came from your side....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted August 18, 2015 Share Dear Heinz I am terribly sorry for the way I spoke to you on the phone and the way this whole matter was handled.

I am sure you are not telling all that came from your side.......This we can be certain of. Nobody will ever tell a story in the exact way it happened. People (you, me... OP) will always have bias towards our versions and trim bits off here and there. OP is getting his prize now, so surely everything is sorted?
