2. There's nothing they can do, or they really don't care, because you aren't affecting them. At all. They don't care what you think, because it doesn't matter to them. They still have customers and you're the one guy outside of the whole corporation. They are not losing sales because of you. You affect nothing.
Also, blogs are protected under the freedom of speech act, and you are perfectly allowed to post your opinion that Ebonite sucks or is ruining the game. I hate Storm, and I could start a million threads saying Storm Sucks. It's my opinion, and there's nothing they can do about it.
However, if I say "Storm kills kittens and puts them in their weight blocks." Then we have an issue. I am putting an accusation of illegal or immoral activity on the other party, for which they could find grounds to battle me on defamation of character and various other "business killing" charges. Though they wouldn't, because it would cost more to say I'm wrong and fight me than they are losing by me saying it in the first place.
Translation: You don't buy balls from them, they lose $200 per week (assuming you're paying A LOT for bowling balls.) You aren't stopping anyone from buying their balls. Nobody cares, and everyone continues to buy their stuff.
They try to sue you and fight a case for years, which they eventually lose because you're protected under the freedom of speech. In this lawsuit, they lose 6 figures, in upwards of $100,000. Why the heck would they care what you say? You're nobody.

Example what if a kid became interested in bowling and happen to come accross your page or something that you did. They might be scared away because of your actions and never want to bowl again.
Also since you have your pure bowling ball as you call it which what ruber ball would it be? Because I am sure it is not the first rubber ball made so right there you yourself would be a cheater and runeing bowling because you would be using the newest of technology at that time.
Also you keep talking about skill, are you trying to say that all of the PBA pros are cheaters as well and they have no skill what so ever and its just the bowling balls? If you go talk to Walter Ray and PDW I know they threw rubber and all of the tpyes of bowling balls that came out. Your saying they are not where they are today because they cheated that is just flat out stupid to assume. Also if your saying this about bowling are you going to start some stupid stuff with other sports and do the same thing.
Also why are you starting this topic now? Why not start this up years ago. What is the point?

You'll have to write endless letter's, set up pickets in front of Ebonite, Storm, Track and Brunswick factories (you may need a visa for Brunswick). You'll have to go to the new USBC headquaters in Texas and meet with the big wigs there to plead your case. While there you can check out all the old non aggressive balls in the new museum.
We are all behind you Dale here at BR. You say what we all think but we are all too timid to take on this mighty task. Good luck Dale and we'll be rooting for you to succeed, and bring back the type of bowling we can only see on ESPN Classic. And most important, more videos that we can watch.

Ok, I’ve made videos, put up a website and been posting information in forums and I have yet to hear any sort of response from Ebonite, Columbia 300, Track or Hammer. No letter like, “Dear Mr. Jenkins, it has come to our attention blah, blah blah.†No Cease & Desist orders from their high powered lawyers. Nothing. Why? Because they can’t touch me. Everything I’ve said is the truth. Their products and equipment are ruining bowling. Go to my website and see for yourself.

If he isn't a troll, then he is just a disturbed individual that has a lackluster sense of humor, at best. However you look at it, this man needs serious help.

Not Ebonite, but technology in general, is what he is talking about. Why he has focused his energies in the direction of Ebonite Industries has me a little dumbfounded. If they were the ONLY ONES doing these things, it might be different, but they aren't. ALL the manufacturers are taking advantage of the rules and specs, using modern technology and materials to create balls with capabilities nobody even thought possible just 10-15 years ago.
Dale, while I agree with some of your point in principle, I also think that we must accept that the game has changed forever and will never return to its "heyday". Life has a funny thing called survival of the fittest where you either have to accept and adapt or get left behind and die.
I, myself, have chosen to accept and adapt. They may be ruining bowling for you, but they have "fixed" it for countless others and, in this society, majority rules my friend. Que sera, sera
