I would hold off with the comments about the journalists being irresponsible. Among their duties is a duty to the employer to making news that sells. Basic capitalism whatever sells gets printed right? They have to earn their wages. It's not like the journalist broke the law. That was somebody else. Maybe the term irresponsible should be closer to that person.
I like what Vegan Ray wrote on the PDGA site that was very inventive and to the point. The whole hubbub could have been avoided buy the guilty party diving :-(
I would not report what people do privately because it can hurt the sport to outsiders. Or stealthily overtly as long as nobody notices.
Reporting to the TD is another matter if a player became a bother to the players, organizers, PDGA, sponsors, spectators, the sport as a whole etc. Keep it low key and nobody is gonna get hurt for it. If we are lucky. We were unlucky twice in a short time period with the sport being reported in press tied to unfortunate events. Learn and stay smart and be stealthy if you can't get smarter. Or some day it's gonna bite all of us back big time. If it didn't happen already :-(
I don't think arranging future events became easier for Jonathan Poole and company. Why can't you respect the people that made all this happen for you? The same goes for all other organizers as well.
