Jim,
Not that you asked me, but I'll answer in the spirit of your forum signature.
Joey Cordeau (cvj) and his school of bump instruction are fair game there; Clendenin and his school make an occasional appearance; BB himself frequently used to bring up the Mahre brothers' training system; etc. El Hombre Rapido was a frequent 3rd party participant until he started his own forum last year and specifically sought to lure many long-term members away from EpicSki. Tai Chi skiing, Dan DePiro, Greg Gurshman, Waist Steering, ... this list goes on. They tolerate almost any perversion of the establishment technique canon. Much like Central Division.
Ownership has made it clear that there is a single publicly acknowledged exclusion. The singular nature of this exclusion and the refusal to judge "bar brawlers" as individuals, instead condemning a whole population with a broad brush label (in violation of their own rules about labelling), is what makes this seem petty. Clearly within their rights, but petty nonetheless for a general skiing forum.
Perhaps this will change now that their "new" business model of leveraging the forum to create an ESA ski camp business failed.
