Tullio Gervasoni's name was pulled from the pilot list that I saw
this morning at http://www.cucco2011.org/. It is my understand that Tullio has been pulled
from appointed Italian pilots because of the article that I published this
morning. Apparently a number of Italians are quite angry with my article. Since, it was I felt a very innocent article just pointing out the FACT that the
Italian system (and others) use a subjective criteria (which I critique), I've
got to wonder about the sensitivity of these people.

Now they have taken a despicable action. Pulling a pilot from their "team"
because whatever conclusions they reached because of what I wrote. Perhaps the
Italians aren't familiar with the term, "Freedom of Speech." This is despicable.
It shames the Italian team and the Worlds.

I wonder now if they will try to get me pushed out of the Worlds?
