How can we stop this?

Here's a great idea!  Here's a way to stop all the whistle-blowing about crime in the square dance world. This idea just might work. 
 
First, let's agree we have a problem.  The square dance community is beset by a constant stream of messages about cheating, lying, swindling, robbing and downright rottenness in the activity.

Let's also agree that we know what causes the problem. A hard-working couple was senselessly robbed of their livelihood by immoral, calculating swindlers. Lots of people supported and endorsed that crime. Every time a new episode in the crime series occurs, new messages get spawned. This pattern has continued for 29 months, regular as clockwork.  The same pattern will continue for as long as the crime spree continues.

Let's discuss how you can help solve the problem. The internet is a permanent record of mankind's activities. If you do good, moral things then you leave a nice, positive, uplifting record of your actions. But if you help promote robbery and theft, i.e. if you help dirty, cheating, rotten criminals get away with swindling a hard-working couple out of their hard-earned money, then your vile, filthy choices get recorded for eternity.

History is written by your choices.

What happens when someone who does not square dance becomes curious about the activity?  Most people nowadays will do an internet search to get more info.  Whenever someone Googles "square dancing" in the local area, guess what they find?

Do you have any idea how to stop the negative publicity? Here's one idea.  It's radical but it could work.  Are you ready to hear the idea?

The cure is simple and it's in your control. 

Simply stop supporting immoral, criminal, psychotic activities run by cheating, lying, habitual thieves.  Stop cheating, lying, swindling, name-smearing, robbing and being just downright rotten.  Holy Smokes, didn't your mother teach you that it's wrong to rob and steal and cheat? Why do you still need to learn how to act decently?  In other words, what the hell is wrong with you?

Every time you add to the crime spree (by supporting yet another accomplice who rakes in robbery loot to abet swindling, cheating criminals), new messages are born. Each message goes all over the world.  There have been a lot of messages.  That's because there has been a lot of cheating, robbing and loot-spending.
 
Oops, I almost forgot one tiny detail.  Let's "name names".  It's important.  I'll tell you why it's important in a future message.  Partial list of dirty rotten perpetrators of cheating, swindling, name-smearing and theft:  Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Jim Douglas, Johnny Preston, Jerry Story, Wade Driver, Tom Roper, Dan Nordbye, Brad Caldwell, Wayne Weston, Bill Wright, Billy Grimsley, Arnold Gladson, Marie Gladson, Darryl Lipscomb, Les Hughes, Bob McVey, Gary Sanders, Gary Belchik, K O Jeanes, Jerry Jestin, Ted Zahorski, Nancy Zahorski, Arthur Wills, Sam Bloom and many others too numerous to name.

Bottom line:  if you stop supporting cheaters, swindlers and thieves then the messages about your cheating, swindling and thievery will also stop.  Frankly, I don't know any other way to squelch the flood of bad publicity.  If you want good publicity then you'll just have to start doing good things for a change.

Whenever you see negative publicity about square dancing, I hope your chest swells up with pride when you realize that the stories are true and accurate ... and you wrote the stories. History is written by your choices.
