More likely, they objected to you. There are plenty of teams who can expose
new people to qb without essentially doing an entirely different activity
under the name of "quizbowl." None of these teams contain a person who has
publicly bashed his teammates (when he's not bashing non-Christians, tornado
victims, or the state of Kansas.)
Get someone who is not you to explain the extremely complex and difficult
connection between *quizbowl* and *quizbowl questions* and people will be
more receptive.
