[Squid]

It's not my purpose to offend you, Squid.

To be fair to you, Truth, I don't think it is your intended purpose. I think you are just so wrapped up in trying to protect the reputation of Rose Hill, while smearing Ashland at every turn, that you are blind to the fact that you are highly offensive in your smears. Then again, I often think that you are enjoying yourself, whenever you can work in a jab at Ashland. At least, you certainly seem smug enough when you do.

I merely want to post facts that illustrate the premise that I stated above.

No. You want to post the facts that make you (and Rose Hill) look like victims, and you want to intersperse your opinions with those smattering of facts - and have everyone believe that your opinions carry the same weight as the facts that you do cite.

However, your personal attacks do nothing to further the exercise.

You seem to confuse being called out for what you are doing, and having your own words quoted back to you as a personal attack. Pity, because it isn't going to change any time soon. A personal attack would be if I called you a lying pig, or if I said that you had bad hair or bad breath. THOSE would be personal attacks.

I know you are bound by blood to hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil concerning your favorites. Still, facts are facts. And, to take license on a well known scripture, all have sinned and come short of the rules of KHSAA.

Now see, that just hurts. I know (full well) that through the years, Ashland has made mistakes. I hate it when it happens, but there it is. The difference between you and I, Truth, is that I don't try to paint Ashland as being lily white, persecuted by big meanies, hounded out of existence by the neighboring schools, and powerless to stop the train wreck.

You, on the other hand, want everyone to believe that through the years, Rose Hill has never been culpable in their own downfall. You are now (finally), willing to admit that Rose Hill is reaping what it sows - but only because you have no credibility without finally admitting it.

Credibility, like toothpaste, cannot be put back in the tube. Once its used up - it's gone.
