Why can't the IOC's ITTF live & let live in peace

I am puzzled as to why the IOC's ITTF cannot live & let live in peace ?
Why not just ban all the all spins table tennis players ( pips players) & go their separate ways and have their own association ?
You can then enjoy your VOC-ful spein glues & boosters an third ball attacks & spectator free table tennis ?
Why does the IOC's ITTF have to keep them and tortues the pips & anti players as their slave biatches & make them the laughing stocks of the sport by degrading & belittling & humilaiting them day in & day out ?

That is an interesting question because IOC's ITTF has managed to sucessfully brainwash the pips players for than 50 years now.

This is because everyone is trained to think that ITTF is an organization run by fairminded individuals with high ethics & truly care about diversity of playing styles in the sport.
While the simple fact reamins that ITTF is a collection of mostly ex ronotNazi players who are hell bent of keeping the sport top spin - centric but at the same time pretending to be supporting of all spins table tennis .

So now to the important quetion > Why can't they just ban all pips then ?

The answer is simple ? This requires 75% vote at the AGM . This would be extremely difficult to do.
Though 51% is quite easy as in the case of many regulations passed over the years to opress pips styles.

So the only option that the poor robotNazis have is to tolerate the pips players & prtend like they love them but constantly backstab them as with the 14 rule and regulation changes since 1977 to oppress pips styles.

All this is partially true

But those are not the primary reason why the robotNazi controlled ITTF hasn's banned all pips & anti , though they would love to more than anything else.

The primary reason is loss of control over the stil clueless (after nearly 50 years of abuse) pips players.
The ronotNazi controlled ITTF does not want to wahe up the now still ignorant pips players.
Because that would mean that the pips players may have no choice but to start their own separate association & demand IOC to have the top spin only verson of ITTF's table tennis replaced with of all spin table tennis (or at least added as a separate sport in addition to ITTF's top spin only table tennis) .
ITTF learned their lesson all too well in 1995 when they tried to ban spein glues. The robotNazis, mostly led by one & the only one (none other than) Rev.Larry Hodges threatened to form their own association if the spein glue ban is not repealed.
ITTF immediately repealed the spein glue ban within a matter of months

If ITTF bans all pips and anti, they would lose all revenue from rubber approvals etc.

More importantly as someone pointed out out pips layers could start their own association.
Then they could demand entry of their association into Olympics as all spins table tennis as an additional Olympic sport.
Or worse the could demand IOC to not only remove ITTF's top spin only table tennis from Olympics and be replaced with all spins table tennis on a level and fair playing field.

This is is not as crazy as it sounds. I think recently boxing had something done similar where IOC included boxing in Olympics but not as part of the Boxing's international body (There are a 1000 of them it seels just lile wrestling and they come and go & I don't know even serious boxing fans can keep track LOL)
