I, Leo Pilachowski of Bloomington, Indiana, am the individual that Don DeLoach has referred to in his recent post.
On Friday morning of last week (1/18/2019) I sent one and only one email to the publicly available and published email address of the Round Valley Dome event manager. The email addresses are readily and prominently published on the local school district website. The email was to the point and polite. The email asked what the cost of using the lights would be if the lights could be turned on. It should be noted that I asked the very same questions of Don DeLoach. His first answer was that I should stop asking such questions for the good of the sport. After my obvious but polite reply to such an email, Don DeLoach said that he would not answer any of my questions. One recourse was to ask the primary source directly and I did so.
One email is not pestering by any means at all and would not be considered so by any reasonable person.
The only rules that apply to an individual competing at Nats are those that apply to all competitors. The only rules are the AMA rules and regulations as published and the published and approved supplemental regulations. This notice and threat by Don DeLoach is a result of my reminding John Lorbeiki, the NFFS president, that rules need to be published (or how would anyone know that a rule was being broken). This reminder was in response to a similar threat of further actions by John Lorbeiki in a private email to me.
I think that this is just feigned public outrage and an attempt to steer the discussion away from the real issues, including scheduling and lighting, among other matters, that concern the 2019 Nats. We all should not respond well to bullies.
