Chronological Summary in 10 Points
For the person who is completely daft and needs me to explain this again succinctly, here is a short summary of all that went down. I find point form helps people understand better.
1) On July 31, 2018 (Tuesday), I played Gerald and Khalil. Khalil got in my way. I called an avoidable. It was blatant and my right. Khalil preceded to argue against it even being an avoidable for 10 minutes. He's an idiot! He takes avoidables against others, but does not allow avoidables against himself. Morally he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
2) I recounted when Gerald was present on July 31st, and Steve Dyck was a witness (July 28 Saturday), that Khalil said precisely these words: "My goal is to demoralize you Troy, so you don't do well in Albuquerque at the World Seniors." I told Khalil with Gerald present that is not the right way to behave. Gerald said, how can Khalil demoralize you, he doesn't have a chance against you? There is a word to describe Khalil's behavior. He is just be a "dick."
3) Instead of Khalil repenting of his abusive behavior, he tells me in WhatsApp on Aug. 1st because I point out (1) and (2), he will never play me again at racquetball. Let's get this right. Because Khalil sinned, was unkind, and I called him out on his b.s. as he tries somehow to attempt to fabricate some error on my part, he won't play me ever again. Twisted logic! Surely, his motivation for being so belligerent is something else.
4) My conclusion with regard to Khalil is this: he doesn't want to play anymore because he is tired of losing all the time; so he started this confrontation to get to where we are now. He doesn't realize he is motivating me to succeed. The other half of the issue is that he is a Muslim. He knows I know he is going to Hell because I am a Christian. Consequently, he is lashing out. What percentage of his behavior is due to being antichrist and what percentage is due to being tired of losing all the time who can say!? I'm not a mind reader.
5) Because of his discrimination under false pretenses, I consider his words and actions inapprehensible and morally bankrupt. I decided to write this thread about his abusive behavior once he confirmed he was not playing me anymore. I gave him the link.
6) Khalil gives a copy of the link to Steve Dyck (Steve already has it out for me because he is an atheist, and I explained to him why according to the Bible he is going to Hell). He threatened never to play me again if I mention Jesus Christ ever again. Wow! Aggressive. He is also, if not more, frustrated by losing to me endlessly, yet said one day he will get me. Even though he is almost 20 years younger than me, I doubt it. Steve I have found does not play me unless Khalil shows up due to his insecurity playing me alone. Khalil will never show up on Saturdays anymore at 5:30, but I do continue to play with Darry and Gerald at 9:30 a.m. and to accommodate Erik. They say this is a better time for them. And I enjoy getting up early.
7) Steve Dyck then gives a copy of the link to Erik Youngson whom he hasn't spoken with for 6 months, Erik said. So why all of a sudden give Erik this link? It seems clear he is trying to hurt me. I find Steve the most backstabbing and underhanded of all in the things he does. Very manipulative. I want Erik to read it, but Steve thinks he is harming me by giving Erik the link. Vagaries ensue.
8) Erik read part of this thread and he asked me to call him. I called him and we talked for about an hour. He listed only 3 or 4 issues, none of which hold up, so Erik is just being obtuse, nitpicking, and misreading to be contentious Not very conscientious I must say. He is looking for a problem where there is none. He should be on my side as I exposed Khalil's misdeeds. But that's not how atheists operate. They have another agenda that they won't take a moment to let pass. He insisted that I take down this thread. Not going to happen! We spent most of the time discussing Christianity. I thought I was going to get Erik to come out and play because we played the past week with Gerald. Erik is placing us on hold for now, which is already acting out in discrimination. Steve has now squashed that effort in his attempt to hurt me from having Erik as a sparing partner on the court. I can see Erik is in the same boat, frustrated losing to me every time. Actually, our play a week ago was the first time he played in 6 months so I would think he has just lost interest in racquetball again after playing just once.
9) So whom do I have left to play? Gerald and Darryl. Gerald and Darryl both beat Khalil the last few times they played, and Khalil usually beats Steve. Erik usually beats them both, but not if Erik only plays once every 6 months. Prior to 6 months ago I recall Gerald easily beating Erik. They should not be losing to Gerald since they are 30 years younger so got to hand it to Gerald for owning them.
The players in Edmonton, Alberta today can't hold a candlestick to the players of the past. It really shows what a poor job the Alberta Racquetball Association has done over the years. I have a theory on that. John Halko has been the intermediary to introduce the sport, but none of them have stuck with it. What is it about John Halko that turns kids off? He was morbidly obese. Even his own son Devin Halko told me he has quit racquetball. Before Halko was Marc Caouette who was also morbidly obese. This would turn anyone off. They may ask, is this what is going to happen to me if I play racquetball too? If Kane, or even a half decent player, was here building the juniors, I am sure it would be a thriving community.
10) It is my assessment since there is no legitimate reason all of a sudden for ostracizing and discriminating against me after playing me for several years, we must come to the conclusion it has to do with two things that are eating away at them that has finally taken its toll: (a) faith, and (b) tired of losing. Since I have discussed the gospel of salvation with Erik, Khalil and Steve they know according to the Bible they are going to Hell. Religious discrimination is a sin! Think how immature a person has to be to not play someone at racquetball because they don't have the same faith or because they are jealous. Tired of losing is jealousy if you fabricate some false reason for not wanting to play anymore.
I won't be texting them to play ever. If one day they want to play I am available. I am very forgiving after all I am a Christian. It's sad really how dead racquetball has become that this is all I have to play (frustrated C players engaged in religious discrimination), and now, not even that. Fortunately, there are a couple players heretofore I still play with. What happens if they turn on me or leave the sport? The way I got good at racquetball was hitting the ball on my own. I see no reason why I can't still do that. In fact, I think my game will improve more than it would otherwise, because I won't be picking up bad habits from C players. I can hone my skill even more through practice. Various players joined me at Sherwood Racquetball Courts in the 80's to give me some games occasionally, but most of the time I just practiced and practiced and practiced. Practice makes perfect!
I don't take it personally because, firstly, I don't pick up the bait of Satan. And I know it is just a couple of bad actors with big egos that don't want to damage their egos by getting beat so badly by me all the time. They would rather not play me than learn from me, how to play better racquetball. They are their own worse enemy and only hurt themselves. This end result was just a matter of time. I only helped it along by contesting and calling out Khalil's abusive behavior in person that sparked his discrimination, further plotting by Steve, and Erik's self-rationalizing and nitpicking.
Bottom line: a Christian would not behave this way which shows you the difference in morality between a Christian vs. a Muslim or Atheist. Christians are Christlike. Atheists and Muslims have a different standard which fail to compare to Christ.
The dumbest comment has to come from Erik because he says he has no problem with Muslims. Therefore, he has no problem with Muslims sending him to Hell. How lovely!
Prior to March 1, 2004, the official Saudi government website stated that Jews were forbidden from entering the country, however, it was not enforced into practice.

In the City of Mecca, only Muslims are allowed. Non-Muslims may not enter or travel through Mecca; attempting to enter Mecca as a non-Muslim can result in penalties such as a fine; being in Mecca as a non-Muslim can result in deportation. In the City of Medina, both Muslims and Non-Muslims are allowed in. The exception are non-Muslims entering the Nabawi Square, where the Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi is located. And of course, this is not even a scratch on the surface of all the psychotic rules imposed by Islam and the Koran, and restrictions on women.
Isn't it wonderful that Erik Youngson doesn't have a problem with this! How noble he must be!
