What more do all of you want?
You can try to assume you know the situation but there is no way you can know what truly has gone on here. I was not aware of any issues before someone brought it up this morning. I have ran one event many years ago and as far as I knew everything was done correctly. I never received any information from the PDGA that something was wrong. During that time I went through some traumatic life changing events. In addition to a failed business, being hospitalized for depression and my wife getting cancer then deciding she wanted a divorce because she had become a lesbian. I am sure you will all have a party with that one. But if you want honesty, I am an open book.
So during that time frame I quit playing, not because I was suspended or because I was hiding but because I was trying to keep my family together and simply survive. I have said, and I will continue to say I did not get anything from the PDGA that I was suspended and had no clue till this morning... In fact I really don't even know if that is the case. As far as the one event that we had, we turned in the fees and paperwork. Which is the reason that as soon as this came up this morning, my first action was to contact the PDGA to figure out what was going on. Does that sound like someone that is trying to hide something?
As for a new PDGA number, the only thing that I am guilty of there is not knowing the nuances of the system. I know that there are some of you that know every single minute detail when it comes to the PDGA, I however do not. After moving and starting my life over last year I signed up for my first event. When I arrived they told me that I had to sign up for the PDGA to be able to play. They told me to just give them $50 and they would take care of it. It was chaotic at that time and they didn't say anything and I didn't know I had done something wrong. If I was trying to hide or do something wrong, why the heck would I use my same name? And on top of that, one of the events that I played in had someone with my old PDGA number which I thought was really odd. I figured they just recycled the numbers or something. At no point over the last three years has anyone mentioned it and I had no clue I had done something wrong.
You can say that I am guilty of not knowing the rules and I will own up to that and take what ever punishment comes my way. But anyone that says that I have knowingly and intentionally broken the rules you are 100% wrong. Integrity is one of the most important things in my life which is why I immediately went to the PDGA to find out what has happened and rectify the situation as soon as possible.
So please go ahead and insinuate and do what ever you want to do to make yourselves feel better. But if you have any kind of integrity please try to find the truth in my statements here and in the actions that I have taken.
