At what point does everyone acknowledge that, yeah, maybe Ben can be an obnoxious troll at times.....but he was also pretty much right about everything?
Look man - Stoeger and Derek (PSI) want to tear the organization down and ruin it for their own personal gain. What those gains are is nebulous. But they are definitely in it for themselves.
At least say the folks who have personal experience with Stoeger and certainly are not letting those experiences bias them in any way.
I'll be honest with you. I suspect given your professional background and mine - we're probably pretty used to people who are bombastic, direct, confrontational, and still want the best for people and an org that is not themselves. Which might be why it's easier for us to ignore the personality quirks and focus on the words and actions of those people.
Simultaneously, we both probably have experiences that exceedingly charming sociopath who absolutely does not give a fuck about anyone or anything else. And the absolute frustration of having to unseat that person from a position of power.
I watched Ben’s reaction video posted today. At least in this one, he clarified his problem was not with USPSA, but with the board members, specifically. He also confirmed he chooses to be confrontational on purpose.
I don’t get the impression he wants to burn USPSA down, he just wants these board members removed from power so that the org can be run by the members.
