    USPSA President threatens to ban Ben Stoeger

    This issue is already lighting up social media and other forums. @GuanoLoco has posted some IMO very mature and to-the-point responses. I would like begin a discussion here because I find it concerning that USPSA President Mike Foley threatened to ban two USPSA competitors because of their social media posts, which were critical of him.

    I recall a few years ago that a similar situation happened in IDPA, and I thought USPSA would never fail in this way. I was wrong.

    Mature and to-the-point responses?

    I have been way out of the Doodie loop even when I posted, but is there perchance a TL;DR?

    TLDR:

    Ben Berry (USPSA Production Grand Master) posts on social media.
    Mike Foley (USPSA Pres.) loses his cool.
    Ben Stoeger post screen shots of Mike Foley losing his cool on doodie.
    Mike threatens to banned both Ben's from USPSA.
    Time calms things down. Apologies occur.
    Maybe over.

    The entire debacle was an embarrassment for USPSA.

    More than that. He didn't just threaten. He said Stoeger was banned. Foley also called one of the Bens (can't tell which) a "fa¥." Not appropriate for a President.

    I'm completely out of the loop these days, but my impression was that Stoeger helped get Foley elected, no? At least that was my impression when I was still listening to Ben's podcast...

    Can I have my vote for Foley back? It was a coin toss between him and Suber with MB following really close. I'd like to re-toss that coin.

    This is all over with, Foley posted an official apology, I believe. Free free to discuss Doodie and Stoeger here, we don't care.
