Now I know there is another thread kind of like this, but technically, this sentence keeps the post from being a duplicate post.

Okay, I did something about it, or should I say my web master and I did something about it. You can visit my web site http://www.furches.org and on the left hand side of the web page is a scroll bar, go to where it says Discussion Forums and click. I, along with my web master have set up a Discussion board that has among other things, General Discussion & Fun for Athletes, The welcome message under that reads:

This particular thread started because of the high school athletes I saw on the Kansas Wrestling forum who liked a lot of witty banter and all, and was eventually discouraged from participating on that particular forum. I visit the forum frequently and understand that, that forum discussion is intended only for wrestling, but what the heck? What about the chance to have some fun? I do believe that most of the individuals on this particular thread will probably be athletes, and likely more wrestlers than others in that wrestling is the primary sport I am involved in now. Of course others are also welcome but just expect to get slammed if you’re not a wrestler. Feel free to post your banter and have some fun, just remember no porn and keep the personal attacks in jest. I will allow about anything except anything that appears to be pornographic. Have fun! Also let’s not get too rough with the language, there are kiddies and others that will visit that will have some trouble with this. Just remember, Non-Christians are welcome so I assume that there will be some material that will offend some Christians on the board. Believe me no one will get a bigger blasting for this than will I, a pastor of a rather conservative Christian Church. I just happen to believe though that open discussion is of more value than closed mindedness.

Hope to get some additional traffic to the site through the boards and enjoy the banter and discussion. It is brand new and this is the first place the information has been posted.

Either they deleted the threads, or I simply could not find what you are referring to.

There were two posts to a topic "God - Wrestling - More" and certainly there was no bashing on this thread started by Mr. Furches advising of his new talk forum.

Mr. Furches:
I commend you for your incentive, and sincerely hope it does well, Control is a really hard thing to do in moderation and sometimes may seem a little oppressive, but this forum was getting pretty raunchy somtimes before the hammer came down on it. Best of luck!

Thanks for the comments guys I appreciate it. The comments Martial was making mention of was on themat.com on the high school forums and it looks like they were deleted, I've been off line for several hours and just checked back. It got pretty nasty but I really tried to just say nothing in response and let these fools show themselves. I do know it will be a challenge to have this thing going appropriately on my web site. But I believe we can make a go of it. It is in no way to be in competition with USA or this site, it is to hopefully be an addition and allow opportunities for those that find an interest in it. I know this, that those that say that there is little or no racial or prejudiced attitudes in wrestling should have seen the comments today. To make comments about my sons skin color, my wife and how we got our son and all was way out of bounds, and this with over 400 reads and around 25+ responses in a little over 3 hours. I would only hope that for those types of comments that USA themat.com would ban those individuals, they certainly did nothing to gain my respect or the respect of the wrestling world. For those wanting more information as to who made the posts and the types of things they said you can email me privately. I have no reservations about letting idiots live up to their words, and one way of doing that is to expose them for what they are. Thankfully before it was all said and done I have heard, and know, that a few from Kansas and Oklahoma came to my defense. It is nice to have friends.
