Please stop making insensitive comments like this to the public forum of ridecamp.  I am not very experienced in endurance and the selection of our international representatives, but I do recognize rude and insensitive comments when I read them.  

I agree that you have the right to voice your opinion, but not if it maligns other individuals (the US Team members) publicly.  It is obvious that you feel strongly about this issue - however your strategy for "enlightening the masses" is failing.  When I read dismissive statements like that above, it only makes me check to see who posted the comment and remember to take what that individual's opinion with a grain of salt.  

Your tone is undermining your credibility, and that is unfortunate as I am sure that you have a lot to offer.
