Pojo,
 
Here is a rebuttal for Phil:
 
Phil,
 
Let me first start off by saying that you are a COMPLETE IDIOT.  I have so many things to say about your actions that it's not even funny.  Let me first start off with a response to your reasoning behind why you don't deserve a decrease in your suspension length.
 
First of all, Phil, do you remember signing that card, yeah, that little one for the DCI.  On it, it says that you agree to abide by their rules and any penalties that you infract you deserve.  By agreeing to this contract, you have no way of getting out of your situation.  Before agreeing to all of this, maybe you should have read the DCI rules and found out exactly what was and what wasn't illegal to do in DCI sanctioned tournaments. 
 
I'd love to hear you explain how your infraction wasn't "False Tournament Reports."  Hmm...you submitted false tournament reports, so therefore you received the proper penalty.  What do you think you deserve?  30-60 days you mentioned?  Really?  How do you think all the people whose rating got bumped down, and who didn't receive the byes feel?  I guarantee you they don't feel too happy.  But I guess since you are such a GREAT player, we should forgive you.  What a load of CRAP!!!  Which leads me to my next point...
 
Your play skills have nothing to do with your personality and your morals.  You could be the best player in the world, which you undoubtedly are NOT, and still be the biggest cheater.  You probably have heard of Casey McCarrell, right?  Was he a great player?  Of course.  Did he still get caught for cheating?  Yep.  And you are upset that you don't get to play in the TMB!?!?  Why should you?  Do you think the rest of the US wants a cheater representing the honest players of the DCI???  NO WAY!!! 
 
You attempted to get lawyers involved?  Whoa, just how ignorant are you???  You did something wrong.  You pay the crime.  You signed the agreement stating you would accept all penalties you incurred.  THAT'S YOUR OWN FAULT!!!  Geez, if it looks like a cheater and it walks like a cheater, then it probably is a cheater.  You, Phil Mondiello, are definately a cheater.  No if's, and's, or but's about it!  And you are asking why Grant and Zantides can't respond to your e-mails?  Uh, let's see.  First off, John Grant and Chirs Zantides are VERY busy people.  Why should they keep responding to an arrogant, little jerk that can't accept his punishment?  They've already told you what is going to take place...deal with it. 
 
As far as your little "apprentice" goes, I hope he goes 0-3, and drop.  I would love to see the look on your face when you find out you're not the "super-God" of Pokemon that you think you are.  Trust me, you can be beaten and you are not the best player in the world.  Get over your little ego-run that your life seems to be on.  Phil, you got exactly what you deserve, and you should be happy that the DCI is nice enough to only ban you for 4 years.
 
Hope you get over yourself someday Phil,
