The problem with this blog is that you (GYK) started off attacking tournament goers as if their mindset were those of the types who judge others who do not or cannot attend offline tournaments. It's okay to complain about the fact that you have/had no means of going to one yourself and ask for help in getting into a tourney, but you can't just bash people from the word "go". Negativity begets negativity, hence some of the trolls/pseudo-trolls.
Also, if setting up your own tourney ends up not working out as well as you hope it will, there's always the option of saving up some money for travel. If that becomes an issue, try to get friends to take a road trip via carpool. If that's an issue, then just forget about competitive play, enjoy Brawl for what it is, and wait until Smash 4 where the online will (hopefully) be stable enough to run online tourneys good enough to match offline tourneys. Seems like a fair thing, no?
