I agree but of course it should work both ways. Calling names on a messageboard, be it "communist", "socialist", "idiot", or the all-time classic "retard" (those are a few that come to mind), should be frowned on as well!

If you are a wrestling fan first and foremost which most on this board likely are, you should make sure your efforts and funds are funneled directly towards the wrestling programs in the high school or middle school. Otherwise, you will find the better part of your time and money being used on other sports.
