Theyve dispatched their Salient Squad members all across Facebook to try and win people over. Sadly, most of them are using the same aggressive, cyber-bully type tactics that Kilgus and Poland are also known for, which is just sad.
Mostly its Squad members (nearly all of whom xame aboard AFTER the Catalyst fiasco) saying "well my shoes didnt fall apart and my bag didnt fall apart so you are wrong." They also seem to have developed a cult of personality around Salient's lone pro, Luis Nava whom, while a far better player than I'll ever be, is still an unknown local pro. He's hardly the all star they make him out to be.
Of course when confronted with the ultimate trump card, the fake lawsuit, Squad members either say its a lie or simply nothing at all. The latter is more respectable.
They are also fond of trying to turn it on you with the classic tropes of "you must be against change" "youre close minded" "you dont want to grow the sport" without grasping the concept that its on the makers of a product to convince people to try it. Blind faith isnt enough. They also wont list any of these great changes Salient is making.
This whole thing is a black eye on disc golf, even if that black eye is only seen by a small number of hardcore disc golfers like us.
