That's pretty funny. Some of his posts reminded me of playing in my local group back 10+ years ago. After a while I started to notice that the players I respected most would kind of dip in and out of activity. They were supportive when they could be. They never, ever played in the tournaments. Then I played my first tournament and got absolutely smoked first round by a player who played really well, and complained to judges a lot, AND cheated every chance he got. Then he destroyed just about everybody else, and seemed to get even more angry with everybody else that he played. This at a _pickleball_ tournament. It felt like we were moments away from somebody throwing down. From that standpoint, I could _absolutely_ see somebody going home and deciding to mock tf out of this sport.
