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!
I am guilty of the aforementioned crime! Give me the death penalty for name calling! WHATEVER, Greg! I will make you a deal. You admit to everyone that you are Greg Boucher and I will not call anyone a "special name" any more. Deal?
When you hide behind an alias it is open season on name calling. If Octagon would have had a real name, like Greg Boucher, then we could have addressed him by that instead of more appropriate aliases like "idiot" or my all time favorite "sportszero". Don't you believe that sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you? A little name calling can be fun but when you are accusing a school of cheating or an individual of transgressing the rules, that is serious.
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.
Greg, I commend you on this comment. You are exactly right! This should also be a caveat to those clubs and organizations that donate funds to a university or community college wrestling program. Make sure the funds get into the right hands.
