Stoeger suspended from USPSA

[Clusterfrack]

Looks like another member has been suspended - I haven't seen him do anything remotely close to inappropriate. Just a guy with professional background in accounting who was critical of the org (including their financial and tax accounting practices). This one seems ridiculous to me to the point where I have to wonder if they will go into the suspension hearing and choose not to ban him simply to create the illusion of fairness. Or they are totally nuts.

I saw that! What the actual fuck? It makes me want to criticize the BoD on social media just to see how far they will go with this Inquisition style nonsense.

I will say that many organizations should be more open to feedback from accountants. HOA in my area lost over a million dollars to an embezzlement because the auditor they hired failed to do a basic audit procedure (sending bank confirmations). And wanting to hide from the accountants rarely means that people are doing things right.

Instagram. Ben's IG, an instagram called practical shooting insights, and different users who are reporting they've been banned. Ben and one other posted the actual letter they received.

The fact the accountant wouldnt be able to go to matches with his kids who shoot USPSA really burns my ass.

So do Ben and this accountant pursue litigation? From the looks of things it could get really ugly for USPSA from a publicity viewpoint if taken to trial, but would anyone hire counsel for such a case?

What would be the grounds for the suit? This is not a criticism but a question.

For Stoeger: Libel? Wrongful termination? (deprivation of income).

For the accountant it would probably be a bridge too far. FWIW, I kind of had the same question but it wouldn't be too hard to see at least some financial injury to Stoeger.
