Thats just a bad faith argument. I am not grasping at straws. Dont treat me like I am stupid. I feel like I am being gaslit. Like I should ignore what my eyes and ears and 30 years of experience in this activity tell me and just blindly trust what the judges say. But a night like tonight makes that impossible for me. BD is NOT nearly 1.5 points better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for the "why" not the "what" and you think I am beating a dead horse because I am not accepting the "what" for what it is. I understand more than you think. I may not agree with it, but I understand it and I take offense to those who treat me like I am stupid because I will not accept the status quo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
