you are making ASSUMPTIONS. Assumptions that are wrong in this case.
"You all were probably in play boats"
WRONG. Creekboats for our guys. Myself included.
"You all take the upper for granted."
NOPE
"Your paddling "crew" as you put it in another post were not even paddling with you"
WRONG. We had a group of 7, so we split into two sub-groups, so as not to crowd eddies. If you were there, you'd know that the guys below national were not there much ahead of the boat. Know how I know? I WAS THERE. I watched them through charlie's. They were right in front of us.
from a few posts down: "You fell out of your boat. That old excuse again"
Whatever. When your skirt pops without you touching it (Not pulling a grab loop) and you quite literally fall out of the boat, it isn't some ego-padding BS line. It actually happened that way.
Obviously you are looking to "make an example out of me" to prove your point that "this past weekend's paddlers had to be the worst you'd ever seen". Instead of going off on something you DIDN'T SEE, why not tell people about what you SAW? If you did that, you would avoid inflaming the situation, causing arguments, and further making BT a bitch-fest by stating what you assume rather than what you know. Instead, please comment on what you saw, so as to offer some constructive criticism to those paddlers, rather than the destructive kind of criticism. Or at least make some valid points. Your message may have a point in it, but you need to learn that presentation is as important as content. By attacking a group that you never saw, you lose credibility right there (See incorrect assumptions above). Furthermore, doing it in a mean spirited way does nothing but put the people that you claim to be offering "advice" to on the defensive. (I NEVER get involved in this type of BS on BT, but this time I felt that it was necessary in order to fix the problems that you create by stating assumptions as facts.)
