Instead, players should make a point of getting
involved in matters that concern them. I'm sure Diana wouldn't want me saying
how women's ultimate should be run any more than I'd like her telling me how to
compete at international level. So my involvement in women's ultimate extends as
far as discussing things with Liz Bourne now and again. I hope the BUF (we) can
tolerate members who contribute despite having a different view.

I can agree with all this but my sadly lacking in Rafi's answer is any
justification or clarification for writing ....

the BUF is doing FA about the state of women's ultimate. The BUF has after all
taken its most familiar stance in a crisis, sticking its head in the sand.

Come on Rafi, first you slag off the "BUF" for having it's head in the sand,
and doing FA, then you say that it should be up to the women to sort things
out for themselves anyway.
You chucked the mud in an unhelpful way and I think you need to either
redirect it somewhere specific so that someone deals with a valid criticism
or alternatively retract your comments.
I should point out that I have respect for Rafi because he does get
involved in matters which concern him. He stood for BDGA Competitions
Director when he didn't like the way a Golf tournament was run. I am
labouring the point about being specific because too many people are
happy to slag off their own VOLUNTARY organisation without stating
their grounds or offering any helpful insight, and if you are a
volunteer organiser this is really demoralising.
