Why would Doc Miller want to continue a site to build up WV wrestling when 5 people spend 90 percent of their time on here trying to tear down WV Wrestling, WV Wrestlers, WV Wrestling Coaches and officials.
The constant negativity really takes away from the forum.
Need to get it cleaned up or this site will not survive!
Where did University's coach say he hated anyone when he lost? You started a childish pi$$ing contest because he said that there was more teams in the state with good wrestlers. Not directed at you, more defending all wrestlers in the state that do go and compete and are competitive. Looking at his post, he was giving credit to all teams and coaches, not demeaning any certain teams.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, you are becoming one of the select few that spend 90 percent of your time on here trying to add negativity to the site. Let it go man! Let it go!
ZZ, the comments about University are not cool.
Maskedman, lets not think that once a person becomes a coach, their honesty and ethics are perfect and/or above that of a young wrestler.
If you look at the forum topics that seem to be currently buzzing, they are:
1. How the JV wrestlers for many schools did at the WSAZ. This has been a hot topic for at least two seasons now. Nothing negative.
2. Seeding at the WSAZ. Nobody seems to want to comment, although it was mentioned in the WSAZ coach's meeting that "somebody wanted to know the seeding criteria". People VOLUNTEER information to me all the time. Even coaches. I get private messages all the time. When it was questioned last week, no criteria was offered but I received plenty of "mind your own business" comments. I am really beginning to suspect something here.
3. Rankings. We have had rankings for years. People love them. People like to talk, debate, etc. It has been going on for years. Why is it a problem now??? The readers then started compiling their own rankings and even that was received with "stop, do not fill up the forum" type comments.
This is the United States of America. We have freedom of speech. Many great Americans have fought and died to protect these rights. This is not Russia, this is not Cuba, this is not China and this is not North Korea. As for the forum, there is a list of rules pertaining to conduct. If the terms of conduct need to be amended, no problem. If the terms of conduct are not violated, then all readers need to question if and when they are censored, hushed or snipped.
History shows that people eventually screw up. The 20 year ref finally can't do the job and make the calls. The 3x state champ finally gets in trouble. The 20 year coach finally gets caught up in something.
As for supporting wrestling, I have created a Facebook page dedicated to promoting "wrestling", promoting "wrestlers", advertising camps, advertising clinics, advertising colleges, etc. The friend list is over 1,500 strong and growing. I promote people's kids that I do not even know. Some more than others because of the frequency of incoming material (if mom A posts 100 pictures and mom B posts 2 pictures, mom A's wrestler will probably get more shares due to volume).
Just at the WSAZ, I had a man walk across the building, up the stairs to meet me. He wasn't even from WV, but from a PA school. He didn't come to shut me up. He came to tell me that he liked what I was doing. I had never communicated with him in any manner prior to that day.
As for WVMAT, I have probably 3,000 posts. Over 1,000 more than the next which is my friend Gator. I have never had my account suspended. I bet I haven't been "snipped" more than 2-3 times. HOWEVER, if there is ever a story or a message that I feel so strong about.........I will get it out!!!!!
Add me as a friend on Facebook. W.V. On Mat
Enjoy!!!!!
