I don't know Salyer. I have never met him. He does not know me.

With that said, Who annointed and/or appointed Richard Salyer as the final arbitrator of the comments to be included in the Kansas Wrestling Forum?

I think I'm safe to say that it wasn't Richard Salyer.

Over the last few years, I've had occasion to review Salyer's comments on this forum and liken them to the comments predictably uttered by "Joe Friday" of a telivision series long ago: "just the facts, mam/sir, which are always followed by the remarks: "Richard does not play with others".

I really don't care who "Salyer plays with", but, I have always found his comments,in the main, to be helpful and interesting (although, sometimes sorta caustic).

In fact, Salyer's comments and imput into this forum have served me well and have benefitted me. (i.e. If Salyer reports a so-called fact. I take it to assume that it's just that - a fact, and I take it as such.

I am aware that he has his detractors these last few years and these detractors have posted comments critical and/or in opposition to Salyer's remarks. But, isn't this the point of this forum?

Salyer is well-informed, informative, generously invests an extra-ordinary amonut of his time in these endeavors and is an obvious champion of Kansas Wrestling and, his comments have always served me well, (and I would assume the Kansas Wrestling Community well).

But with that said, his "opinions" are just that: "Opinions" - no less worthy of any other poster.

I choose to believe that Salyer means well, that he is a highly opioniated individual, well entreched and highly knowledgable in the world of Kansas High School Wrestling. He is truly an asset to wrestling in the state of Kansas.

But with that said: Salyer - keep at it. This whole wrestling thing seems to be your passion and your are deserving of our thanks and praise

I've appreciated your efforts and sometimes I don't "play well with others" either!
