You can add me to the millions of views, I just found and watched some matches and interviews of Otto. Super impressive, you can and should be over the moon proud. Truly. In utmost good faith, and, respectfully, maybe just enjoy the ride and let HIS journey, which I believe is going to be beautiful, play out without dragging his life and accomplishments into arguments with people YOU can't agree with.

You're welcome. I appreciate the response and won't offer much in return except for a couple of thoughts. First, from the videos I watched, I'd say any opportunities you had "to strangle him along the way" were just that -- along the way. Should have done it when you had your chances, which as a practical matter are long past Second, and again, respectfully, I'm wondering if some of your most passionate posts jibe well with your last sentence, i.e., the posts come off as if their targets matter too much.
LJB Posted July 13 Posted July 13 both of my sons have been able to murder me since they were about 14... dude... it is a huge character flaw of mine that i hate anonymous forum nerds saying shit about things they know absolutely nothing about... i don't understand hiding behind screen names and i don't understand trying to act like the cool guy...
ScottishSteel Posted July 13 Posted July 13 @LJB your sons are incredible Greco talents and I hope they win many many many medals for the USA and I don't fault you for being proud and loud and everything that comes with it but remember that time you said you let something go and we all had a good laugh? My stars, if you can't go a day here without constantly insulting everyone on the forum and spamming responses (sometimes to no one but yourself) and trying to fight everyone than common denominator has got to mean something . . . there's probably someone reading this who has been turned off from Greco merely because of the representation you've shown. And I know - I used a big word like denominator and I didn't win a World Championship medal so I'm an anonymous nerd who's never done anything with my life and you'll call me a dummy too despite somehow also being a nerd with a fair amount of cuss words sprinkled in for extra flavor; even the anonymous part isn't even really true as I've shared enough about who I am that some folks have figured it out. Truth is, I (and likely most people here) just love wrestling and want to talk about it; not wade through 5 pages of someone sometimes responding to someone else but half shouting into the void w/ the same message over and over and over. Maybe, just maybe, try giving reasons why someone should watch Greco. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Throw in some videos from the Greco U.S. Open and talk about what high level stuff people should be lookin for instead of just insulting people and saying you don't understand. At one point, there was comparison's to soccer in this thread. I didn't really get soccer until I lived with a British guy and he taught me how to watch soccer without just waiting for a goal to happen - now I have a EPL team I follow etc. If my old roommate just sat on the couch calling me a wanker over and over than I probably still wouldn't be a soccer fan. Greco, for a plethora of reasons with varying degrees of validity, isn't as popular in America but insulting everyone over that certainly isn't going to help. Sharing a clip of Otto or Max doing something dope and saying "watch what he does w/ his left hand to set this up" will go significantly farther than calling someone a nerd 48 thousand times I am not gonna get into a big argument. That's not my style. I watch Greco every time when it's on but not gonna pretend I'm an expert on it. My forte in HS was riding legs which is probably the lowest of the low in your opinion but also has no correlation to Greco in any capacity. It takes two to tango; not saying the trainwreck this thread has become is entirely your fault but consider this me imploring you to flaunt why Greco is good and educate the masses (like myself) instead of the approach you have been taking 1 Irrationally proud former WPIAL wrestler No Scotland, No Party . . .

LJB Posted July 13 Posted July 13 do you really think trying to educate the masses about greco has not been tried in the past??? **insert definition of insanity here** the simple fact of the matter is anonymous forum nerds should just not comment on things they know absolutely nothing about... it really is that simple...
ScottishSteel Posted July 13 Posted July 13 (edited) Welp I tried - literally said I want you to do this because I want to learn Have a marvelous Monday and a wonderful week Edited July 13 by ScottishSteel Irrationally proud former WPIAL wrestler No Scotland, No Party . . . Go Beavs
LJB Posted July 13 Posted July 13 thanks... rankings series in budapest starts in a couple of days and the greco entry list is out of control... gonna be good stuff...

Potentially stupid but good faith suggestion: Given the back and forth and your pessimism about affecting change in this forum, should someone petition the board to split international into separate freestyle and Greco forums?
LJB Posted July 13 Posted July 13 (edited) all that needs to happen is anonymous forum nerds just not make ignorant comments about greco... is that too much of an ask??? Edited July 13 by LJB
