Prant,

At the risk of totally blowing my “Evil Empire” image, I find most of your posts enjoyable and entertaining. Unfortunately, there are many whose banter crosses the line; these are the ones which force us to resort to measures such as modifying or removing messages. In extreme cases, we’ve even been forced to ban users from the forums. On the other hand, after looking over the last two sentences I typed, I realize that my “Evil Empire” status is in no danger!

The KWCA forum was not created to give the high school coaches their own private arena for carrying on scintillating conversations. The purpose of the forum is to allow the coaches to do wrestling business. If they were to try and carry on business on this forum, their topics would quickly become inundated with a wide variety of non-pertinent comments. For those coaches who do not have the time or desire to read thru these comments (witty and engaging as they may be), this made the forums a poor place for them to carry on their business.

I have access to the KWCA forum, and can assure you that the topics are very dry. In fact, I suspect that you would have a difficult time restraining yourself from “livening” them up a little. This is why the coaches wanted to keep access restricted.

Please continue to enjoy the present forums. Follow the simple rules, and you and others will be given great latitude. By the way, were you aware that 4A is the toughest class, although Hoxie is the toughest team, and Olathe has the best cheerleaders?
