I always have respect for somebody who is prepared to stand up for what they believe in and do something "out there"
I have no problems with the content of footbag.com - Steve Blough is as entitled to his opinions and ideas as Kenny Shults or anybody else. I dislike the fact that they refuse to put a link and logo at the top of their page saying something like "you might be looking for this - http://www.footbag.org" just so that people don't get turned off footbag because of what they see at .com without getting to know about .org and the way I personally think that footbag should be played.
Also I know this has been brought up before but I want to make it perfectly clear that language relating to homosexuality in a negative context is not acceptable on this forum. If you strongly disagree with this go and post on a different forum - As long as I am a moderator and hopefully longer than that it will not be tolerated. The same goes for any kind of discriminatory language. I am sorry if you feel that you are being censored but in the recent survey and in fact prior to that many people said that they thought it wasn't cool. You have agreed when you signed up your account at modified not to say offensive or discriminatory statements.

I just read that entire transcript between Steve G., Steve B., and Sandra. She was awfully rude to Steve G... Oh well... Some people aren't willing to compromise at all apparently... Kinda sad, huh?
Also, about that Bloughchi.com thing, wouldn't that put us in the slandering or liabeling thing (I forget which is of written word)? This thing was over in 2000, and hasn't picked up since. Steve G. said something along the lines of "Agree to disagree, but not hate and bash."
Although I agree footbag.com isn't the best place (in fact, I downright dislike it), we can't deny that it exists, and it's at least getting people kicking. We should be glad for at least that much. If they want to persue freestyling over kicking, fine. Let them search. Otherwise, they can just be happy with kicking.
