  1. A crass comment is going to piss people off. Rasta is normally good people. Let it go.
  2. You're right on target. Trolls are still causing disruptions with their misinformation and provocations, and it's still a struggle to guide them towards expressing informed opinions, on point, rooted in context, research, logic, facts, and honesty. Follow the law and follow the golden rule is the beginning and end of my authoritarian wish. I'm not authoritarian... unlike those that support controlling media, surveillance, elections, censorship, covid mandates... I use my freedom of speech when referring to anthem protestors as jerks and I extend the uncommon courtesy to explain my reasoning. There is some news... an imposter member was added to the ignore list.
  3. How many times did you try to make the conversation about blame, justice, nuance? How often did you meaningfully engage on how accountability matters? Conversely, the village was acknowledged on page 1, page 2... Evasion, deflection, arguing to argue is partially why your posts are clowned.
  4. No, he is the first Brooks. It looked like his strength and technique were more than Taylor could handle. Taylor was in a good position but could not finish.
  5. Different strokes. I watched Greco in person at a World Trials and became a fan. They knock each other out, choke each other out, and toss each other. I don't always get the same vibe watching on TV unless it's Champion Greco matches. I did like watching Max Black wrestle this cycle. While down in par terre, multiple times he hit reverses and then threw his opponent.
  6. Did I see Nolf get pushed out twice with no calls in addition to no calls when not engaging in the second period? Huh? It was a good match by Nolf but a head-scratcher on some no-calls.
  7. If you are taking real-world action on address systemic issues and supporting those in need, congratulations, you believe in personal accountability and are doing so by example. And if you are someone who takes action, there are near-zero odds that you linked up to this wrestling forum without caring about who wins a wrestling match. If you speaks words and pay taxes only, then you are a paper tiger that still has near-zero odds that you linked up to this wrestling forum without caring about who wins a wrestling match. Your member name implies you know how winners win... Your actions betray your words. I don't care if you won a wrestling match for general discussion. It is outlandish to discredit the idea that winners win due to their personal accountability. I won plenty of matches and those that I lost are all due to having been outdone by someone who wanted it more than me, who had more personal accountability than me. Most everyone who has success talks about PA.
  8. This was an insider comment and nod to a member. Wrestleknownothing posts analytics about who is going to be an all american and who will win. He seems like a good guy other than that love for swimming. The point is that most everything discussed on the wrestling side relates to winning. Who won the starting spot. Who is the goat. Who will be an all american. Who will pin the most people. Who sucks at coaching winners. Who recruits the best winners. What mindset does the winningess coach teach. How much money will winners be paid to transfer schools to help that school win more. The spladle sure was an embarrasing way to lose. Wow his gas tank made him lose. Wow look at how his motor helps him win. He wins because he is aggressive. How can that guy lose when he squats 600 pounds? Can you believe that high school winner beat those college winners? That winner is a character loser. Etc, etc. winning is discussed around the water cooler. Since you do no care about winning, what compells you to this particular wrestling forum?
  9. We've gone over this before. https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/2718-book-bans/ Here are some over time Of Mice and Men Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Cay To Kill A Mockingbird Uncle Tom's Cabin https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2020-11-12/burbank-unified-challenges-books-including-to-kill-a-mockingbird
  10. The words are in the dictionary. Lies Wrong. I judge everyone. Let's be clear, I called you and anyone disrespectful of the anthem a jerk because they are jerkish jerks that jerkishly jerkoff to disrespecful jerks. I like this. Some truth. Keep going. I don't want the government taking my money to help people that do not want to be helped, and do not want the opportunity to help themself. Whatever lifestyle those people are, I don't support my tax dollars going to them and I don't want to be their friend. I don't want my money going to people with illegal activities or for activities that violate the golden rule, such as the people chanting "Death to America." They only way they should get money from me is if I choose to give to them. And sometimes I do... More lies. Remind me again how this relates to my youth baseball team reflecting on how they can get better so that umpires do not determine the game's outcome? How does this relate to PA? How widespread was that view? And I guess it was a good thing enough of those personally accountable self-rightous bible thumpers supported desegregation.
  11. Personal accountability is strongly needed to win and dominate a college wrestling match. Does being a weak, cowardly, ineffectual person create a sense of confidence and satisfaction? Imagine someone steals your idea and project work. They are recognized for your work and in line for a promotion. Are you going to speak up? Imagine this occurred to a collegue, you felt it was wrong, and did not speak up. Imagine you are losing a wrestling match by one point with one minute left to go. You refrain from attacking and time runs out with the same score on the board. Imagine gassing out during a wrestling match and losing in the final seconds.
