Tim, you are a classic bully, Nothing of what you say is true, and nobody will speak up like in most situations of serious bullies, until it is too late. They will acknowledge some of what you say but why confront the beast if they aren't attacking them directly. Unfortunately, I'm not made that way and am doing best to not judge anyone that feels they need to cower. Most will come and read this, follow this but nobody will confront your bs in FEAR of becoming your next target because there is no personal gain in doing so, or in fear that because you've belonged to the community for as long as you have that you have an unfair advantage, you absolutely do and should when used well but this is not acceptable. Obviously it is your high. To be honest, you sound like.your blood pressure is sky rocketing and you are a LOT scary and may be a touch psychotic. I'd rather die fighting than put up with your filth.

Tim B again,
This post almost makes me feel bad for you. I thought if nothing else you would at least have the guts enough to confront a little girl, face to face when given an opportunity. Especially one that you describe as so vile. So vile in fact that you were disgusted by how I treated another competitor. YET, even with the inherent chance for more damage to this competitor you thought it okay to allow my monster to continue to unleash on her? Even when you knew we had more matches? You still would not confront it? Now who is the monster? In fact, you thought it would be better to wait and post the outrage here on the board where nothing could be done to assist this young lady you are so fond of? The truth is if you had any legitimate issue with me the perfect opportunity for resolution for an injustice would have been when I went out on a limb and asked if we might call it truce. As recently as yesterday you had no idea what I could be referring to even when I tried yet another two times. Just for the record Tim, you don't like me because I question decades of arm wrestling practice. Questioning is the beginning to progress and you like the way it is. Sometimes it is hard for some people to accept change and they take it personally. I'm sorry it upsets you that I want more and that I wont sit quietly. In fact, I have the audacity to sometimes even ask a tournament director what the weight classs are before traveling 5 hours to their tournament. I refuse to mention that pullers name that you referred to but since she has sought me out on FB and friend requested me, she took many pictures with me after the tournament, and I have the match on video and no she didn't cry during my match but she was frustrated. My guess is that she was frustrated because you had expectations that she was going to beat me (as you so stated previously). Isn't it true that she competed amateur and pro? I did not compete amateur Tim. Therefore it was a pro match that you refer to. Let me remind you what you advised this competitor to do... QUIT! "JUST LET GO!" If she was upset it was at the lack of direction you gave her when she was trying to hold me, as if you had given up on her. Feel free to post as you will BUT for goodness sake don't use others to try to get back at me, and please don't give up on her or anyone else. She is a really good arm wrestler and had a plythera of strategies up her sleeve, trying one at a time, determined. Those that know me, know better. Those that do not it doesn't really matter does it? So that we are clear, I will continue to promote women's armwrestling. I think women have a place in the sport even if that makes me evil in your eyes. As for my team, I am sure they appreciate you having their back however if Badger Drewes had a problem with me or for a minute thought I was the person you describe I just don't see him putting up with it. My bet is anyone that knows Badger would NOT take him for a man who wouldn't stand up to someone. Maybe I'm mistaken, I have been before (like yesterday when I thought we might be able to be civil in the future.) Good day Tim B again and if it is all the same with you, considering how vile I am, let this be the last we need to speak to one another until you choose to bury the hatchet because from what I can tell this isn't good for anyone or the sport.

Tim,
I love Kelly Jean and I am not sure who else you train with but I hope they both will kick my ass!! I know Kelly Jean has the potential and the drive. She's awesome. I am sure whoever else is training with you will also be amazing and I can't wait to see them on the table. Thank you for working with them. We need more people who will train some of the novice women. Good Job, Keep it up

Awesome Gene. I am happy to promote your meet on the Female Arm Wrestlers United Web Page if you are interested let me know. In addition, I hope you were not offended by my asking the classes before arriving, I truly appreciate your response. I can't wait
I posted, "Hi Gene,
I've looked forward to pulling at one of your meets. Will you have right and left hand for women? What are the weight classes?"
Hello Seth; I am not sure how that was offensive to you, like any arm wrestler I was curious what the classes were. Sorry that you somehow took offense and managed to get your panties in a bunch. I guess I assumed you were a little thicker skinned. I'll try to tred more lightly around the delicate. BTW Good luck at the Grapple. I am looking forward to watching you pull.
Debbie

Tim B Thank you for thinking of me, I appreciate the thought. This is definitely an awesome opportunity for all women, amateur and professional. I will promote this event on my FB page, Female Arm Wrestlers United. I suppose this is "around the corner from me" if you consider a 20 hour round-trip, around the corner. Maybe the corners are bigger in Conn? I have, however planned on taking advantage of this event. I am on vacation from the 18th - 24th so providing there is not some unexpected weather or other unforseen circumstance that traps me on the island longer than planned, I'll be there. I am looking forward to doing so because I feel extremely supported by UAL and as you suggested I would like to support those supporting us. Tim, I do however feel quite uncomfortable with thinking that WE might be on the same page... Thanks again for thinking of me, Attached is the link to find the rest of the information for the 2015 MIKE GOULD CLASSIC - UAL 9 Saturday March 28 - Sunday March 29 March, 2015 northeastboard.com/thread/29440/march-2015-mike-gould-classicI hope to see you all there! BTW Tim, I presume Portland, Maine is much closer to you then 20 hours round trip? I hope to see you take advantage of that opportunity.

Hey Tim,
Thanks for responding and actually seeing you brought it up, Maine is running 0-144 and 145-plus amateur and 0-144 NOVICE and 145+ NOVICE for Right and LEFT hand. In addition there is $100 for the overall left and right womens class... Not bad huh? I am sure Nate appreciates the advertising. I know there is another meet down the road on the same weekend so selfishly and honestly I just have to pick the one that is best for women. I understand you have to do what is right for you!

Bill just a womens's right? We've been working hard to promote women's armwrestling but it's hard if all of our local promoters are not promoting us. I think the advertising says it all... Nate Gagnon has 4 classes in Maine including 2 novice classes for both left and right. He also got a sponsor to donate 100.00 for the women's overall. I appreciate how vocal you are for women but now is your chance to help us out the most. I will pay for the trophies for left hand. Give me a place to send the check and tell me what it will cost then lets start advertising this for women and make it happen. I am happy to do a workshop before the meet for women... Give me a call if you want to talk or maybe I'll see you at practice on Thursday. I'll bring my check book just in case...

Just curious when those classes will be determined? If you are not determining in time for people to make plans early it's less likely people are going to go at the last minute... I'd love for there to be an awesome turn out for yu. There are a million tournaments out there these days and people certainly can choose the ones that they feel are most supportive of their interests.
Happy Pulling,
