Yes Jason you’re right, I am a big supporter of TB.
Everyone in Australian Bowling should be. It’s how we talk to each other.
The previous CEO of TBA for a short while answered questions that were asked in the main forum, but after a while this stopped, mainly because some of the questions were downright abusive, and I don’t blame him for that.
I do sense however that since that time there has been major resistance to this forum from the NSO and I think it is a shame that no-one from the NSO posts.
I’m not suggesting for one minute that they come on here and answer every little niggle or dig, but there are times when a public statement on this forum is not only merited but could also clear up some major misunderstandings.
They still don’t seem to realise that this website could be a tremendous asset to them if used carefully.
It may seem to the NSO that there are only a handful of bowlers who participate on this site but I think the NSO tends to lose sight of the fact that a lot of those members are fairly high profile people often in a position to exert influence. I’d rather have those people on-side than against.
Maybe one day the NSO will move on, several of us (myself included) have had major disagreements on this website which I might add were at times fairly unpleasant, and if we can reconcile and move on, then surely our governing representatives can at least try to do the same.
Silence is not always Golden.
