During the past few weeks it has become increasingly apparent to me that most of you out in District I have a "love"/"hate" relationship with me. Of course, most of you wouldn't know me if I came to your door but that hasn't stopped you from formulating an opinion of me and letting others know how you feel. I have been accused of spreading a rumour that a tournament was canceled, of being abusive to table workers, yelling too loud, being to agressive, writing too much on this forum,you name it, but mostly of being too hard on officials. What am I going to do with this information? I am trying to figure out how large my security entourage will need to be when I enter this Sunday's seeding meeting! See you there.

Do we have to be in/from District 1 to vote?

Will,

You do not have enough choices. I like many people only know you from this forum. How about the following other two choices:

I only know of Will from the forum so:

1) I usually enjoy to read Will's forum postings.
2) I really do not like Will's forum postings and
wish he would stop posting.

And maybe you might have some other options you would want to add under this separate question.

This is the question I would place a vote on since I've never met you or seen you to my knowledge at a tournament. I'm sure I've seen you and just did not realize it.

Sportsfan02,
Since you are obviously from outside of district I, it would be best if you stated your specific complaint or compliment after you make your vote. Go ahead and vote.

I have to agree with forvac.......

I agree with forvac and Double D.

Richard D. Salyer & Will Cokeley in the same district aaaaaaahhhhhh ?

It's hard enough in the same State!

Are you two brothers with different last names?

Good Luck this weekend and at Sub's everyone!

Thank You very much, He is a hard worker and it showed in the finals. The best part for me was him on the podium trying to look tough but couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

Congratulations to all the State placers!

AS a wise statesperson once said,

Don't be so humble (Cokley et al..) you're not that great.
Good luck with subs and keep up the stimulating chat.

COKELEY, I DON'T THINK ANYONE HATES YOU,THEY
JUST DISAGREE WITH YOU. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN
SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR OPINION YOU TAKE IT
TOO PERSONAL. YOU AND I DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE ON
VERY MANY THINGS BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I HATE YOU.
WHAT I DO HATE IS THE FACT THAT WHEN I DISAGREE
WITH YOU ON THIS FORUM YOU GET MAD AND CALL ME
A COWARD AND UNEDUCATED, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ME. YOU SAY THAT I ATTACK YOU PERSONALLY,
THAT'S NOT TRUE I HAVE NEVER ATTACKED YOU AR YOUR
CHARACTER, I HAVE SIMPLY DISAGREED WITH YOU, ON A FEW POINTS, AND TRIED TO STATE MY CASE, THE BEST
I KNOW HOW, WHICH IS USUALLY WITH SARCASM AND WIT.
MAYBE IF I CAN FIGHT MY WAY THROUGH THE SECURITY
GUARDS(WHICH SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM) WE CAN MEET
AT THE MEETING, BUT YOU HAVE TO PROMISE NOT TAKE
ANYTHING I SAY TOO PERSONAL OR TO HEART.YOU ALSO
HAVE TO PROMISE NOT TO ATTACK ME PERSONALLY AGAIN.
LASTLY SOME ADVISE 1. OPINIONS ARE OPINIONS
NOT EVERYONE HAS TO AGREE
2. LIGHTEN UP LIFES TOO SHORT
3. DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF JUST
BECAUSE SOMEONE WRITES TO
YOU DOESN'T MEAN THEY GIVE
A "DARN"
4. "IT'S ALWAYS BUSINESS, NEVER
PERSONAL"

cokely maybe you need a short vacation? maybe florida? come on man take a chill pill settle down out of sight out of mind for a while. What your kid does at this age wont even matter when you look back. He is going to stop having fun if you keep it up.

I would like to agree with the previos post gofergold. If you watch very many 6u & 8u matches you don't have to wonder why there aren't as many 14 & 16u participants. Abunch of crazed parents and sometimes coaches screaming at the tiop of there lungs, veins bulging from their necks and foreheads. If it weren't so repulsive it might be humorous. As far as Mr. Cokely, I really have to wonder about a mans ego who posts his own popularity (or lack there of)pole. I don't know Mr. Cokely personally. I do think my son has wrestled his, but I'm not certain enough to comment. But,can learn a tremendous amount about a person just by reading their posts. I would look forward to meeting Mr. Cokely and sharing our opinions one day. My husband will be at the seeding meeting today. Maybe we can start there. I always value my husband first impression of others.
