[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 733115, member: 18"] Let's keep it reasonable here and try to discuss negative behaviors without resorting to personal insults. I would agree that frequently, better shooters receive preferential treatment at competitive shooting events, particualry IPSC where there is no dispute that it is simply a game to be won; that is the nature of sport when money is on the line. I personally find it even more distasteful when there is little on the line and people still act this way. Personally I have always found Rob Leatham to be much like most other professional athletes: very focused and self-centered as required by the nature of an individual sport. Some cannot understand this and view it as a negative trait, which is cool too. To each his own IMO. If I want to benefit from someone's virtues, I cannot afford to be put off by their vices. If the vices are greater than the benefits, I simply choose not to associate with the individual. After years of benefitting from very experienced and talented people, I simply accept this as part of the learning process. Either way, keep this discussion civil. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
