Knowing what I know, I would have to say!!!!!!!! She has struck again!!!!!!! Does team LA still exist, I thought they were disassembled when RJ starting beating Craig. TEAM LA is AAA so you are lucky!!!!!!!!!! Allen did you start beating Craig as well?

You can join the Emerald Coast team anytime. Crap if our team thought like that I would have been gone years ago!

Nancy, I am sad to hear what you are saying. I dont know the whole situation and I really dont need to. I will draw my conclusions about people from my own interaction from them... nobody tells me who to like or dislike. I like allen I like reading his posts and I have often thought he was brave speaking his mind clearly as he did and I hope does. I dont recall any real contraversial post that could have been strong enough to warrant this kind of action. As a matter of fact Allen was almost annoyingly proud of... and to be part of Team Louisanna. I extend my condolences if they are usefull and wish you resolution and peace . Allen is a great man from what I know... and Armwrestling is just a "Hobby" so in the grand scheme of things Allen has lost nothing he really needed Christopher Myers

Allen, you are not a puppet, so why would you associate with puppets? I listened to you on the phone last week and promised not to post anything, but I think it is time to open the floodgates. I have heard stories about Team Louisiana, and some a s sclown on the other board talking about how (oooh, we all get scared when the red and black come through the door) like Josey Wales has come to avenge his family or someting...
Please!
And you know that counts b/c I never use that big text crap. The AAA is dissolving for one reason: Their loyal circle is shrinking and they're the cause of it. Now some nameless people and aliases of Karen Bean and/or the Grand Wizard Steve Stanaway can go on the AAA board and post crap about me and what I'm saying, but it will all be for not, as the organization will be completely impotent within a couple of years. [BTW I think Mike, Charlie Brown, What, Anon 2, RB and Laida Dial (which is how the idiot should have spelled it if she wanted to get the same word backwards and forwards. Instead she messed it up and put liada dial...moron) could use a little Viagra themselvles].
An old friend once told me that the team outed certain members for one reason or another. Like I told you on the phone Allen, find other pullers in your area and hook up with them. I got stronger when a Turkish puller named Ali Yildiz and I pulled and trained by ourselves for nearly a year. You don't need superstars to get better.
I have a friend in LA named Tony Kaiser that is looking for someone to pull with. He says Craig never returns his calls and he is a formidable opponent, very fast, good hand control.
I wanted everything between the AAA and USA to end peacefully, but it pisses me off when I hear about a friend being outted for stating his opinion, being an advocate of most Libertarian theory myself.
Start plugging away at the holes in dam, it's damage control time. It is only a matter of time before it bursts.

You a-hole, Karen is not the PROBLEM.. I go to her events and she is a good person!!!!! The USAA got ALLEN kicked out, not us!!!!!!!!! They are the one that won't unify!!!!!! The AAA treats everyone the same, BAD!!
James you should be banned from ARMWRESTLING!!!!
Sorry, but I can't take it anymore...

Nancy, I've been telling Allen for 2 years... "come on up here to NC". Just for the record, Allen and Nancy are both my friends and great people. I have only met them both face to face one time at AAA nationals 2003 in Columbia, SC, I think of them both as my very good friends. They are like family to me. I say it's Team La.'s loss! Allen has a lot of heart and determination. The qoute about "everybody runs when the red and black walk through the door", I run from none! I ain't skeered, all that can happen is I'll either win, or lose. I can live with that. Every puller out there puts on there pants just like me, one leg at a time!!! That's my 2 cents worht. Allen, yall come up here , we've got room. Michael "Animal" Griffin

Nancy, I don't think James is upset with you. I think he was making fun of the fact that you and Allen’s situation even though in your previous post to Rick you did not blame the AAA and in fact mentioned one of your team mates as having the agenda had the blame placed on Karen and the AAA again. I know that if it was me I would schedule a meeting with whomever on the LA team the problem(s) were with and resolve them. I think that no matter what the problem is if I had the same with Jim and my team, we would work it out. That is the true essence of what a team is. I think very highly of Allen and figure that when cool heads prevail the situation will indeed work its way out. If you need my help in arbitrating I would be happy to do it. I think by you getting on this board and opening up both the LA team and as usual the AAA to ridicule without any of us knowing any of the facts you are not making anything better. It’s like if I have a fight with my wife and she calls all her friends for advice it will not fix the problem. Only through me and her talking it through together will the problem ever be resolved.
I think we all need to stop the ultimate resolutions we keep coming up with. Travis hinted to it in a joke about banning James R for life. Just because there is a problem doesn’t mean it can’t be worked out. Learn the lessons from our past. Just think what today would be like if instead of banning Fred Roy the WAF worked it out!
Pick up the phone and make a call!!!
P.S. I wanted to add this: No one can help you resolve your problem with the LA team except you and Allen. Make sure that the advice you are getting is not geared up with it's own agenda. Like I said make the call and set up the meeting. If you need help with this call me.

Chris, are you still a loyal member of the Acolyte Armwrestling Association?

I am going to try to stay fairly reserved here because I do not have a lot of time to post and there are a great many things in play here.
This sport is not just about winning and losing, what makes this sport great is the personable relationships we all share, a common respect for those just trying to do their best in this sport, something that team LA for the most part has lacked.
Allen was more than just a proud member of team LA, he was very much an overwhelming supporter of each and everyone in that group and its parent company, (you all know what I mean) frankly he was the one person on that team that gave them a soul or an element of sociable humanity.
Allen is a very intelligent man, though we all know that his statements were his opinions any perception by anyone that he spoke for all of team LA, well they should have considered themsleves fortunate that anyone would give them that much credit.
It is very much their loss if Allen is no longer going to be associated with them.

Simon: You are wiser than your average potato chip. P.S. One of the ways Allen supported the team was creating a website with profiles and the such. Too bad they outed their best and only PR man.

James, I read your song...There is a thin line between support and stalking A couple signs you may be over the edge...Do you have a pic of Allen in your bedroom? Bathroom? Do you think about him more than 1 hour a day? Do you know his favorite color? Favorite food? Do you have him on video? Do you know his birthday? Seriously, If me and my wife have a fight and she calls you with her side of the story (SHE BETTER NOT!) I am sure you would think I was a D I C K also. I think Allen is awesome. Probably one of my favorite pullers. I feel the same for Ray Hennerichs and Craig T. Ray always tries to help me and none of them have ever denied me their knowledge or support. When you hammer the LA team you hammer a bunch of my friends. Ryan Thames is another team member who I consider a great friend. I have not spoken with Allen on this issue and until I do I can't and won't take a side. Man I still have to go look up the word Acolyte!
