I firmly believe the record about WSU clearly indicates that you're 
incompetent.  I also firmly believe that I never said anything (in 
that post) ad homie, I just said you were wrong.  Thirdly, the fact 
that you reference a perceived political belief that I've never 
commented on on this board or privately to you to my knowledge 
(weren't you a college democrat?) and somehow use that as a 
judgement shows how clearly out of touch you are with the quizbowl 
community (in that no one will listen) and testifies to the fact 
that I and many others fear you may suffer from some sort of mental 
disorder a la Rain Man.  Finally, behave as you did at the last 
regional and I and the other teams will lodge complaints against you 
like last year and this time you will be bounced from the 
tournament.  

Returning briefly to the ICT 03 (aka Asterisk Bowl 3), whoever 
missed that top playoff bracket in D2 by one spot has a very 
legitimate gripe that they were denied a shot at the national title 
because an exhibition team was treated as a competitive one.
