Tigerbait,
This is a discussion forum. The topic of this discussion was the issue of holdbacks. The question was posed as to why people do it, at what grade, the pro's and con's of it, ect. People have stated numerous reasons as to why they do or why they don't. You keep wanting to "prove" something and there's simply nothing to prove. If you don't like the reasons that people have for choosing to hold their kids back then that's O.K. Basically you keep rambling on and on and on and on about how YOU know what the real reason as though you can read people's hearts and minds. It's gone way beyond any point of a discussion and basically you are calling people who hold their children back liars if they say it is for any reason other than sports, which is very insulting. What's even more insulting is that you would infer that the reason we hold kids back in the mountains is that they are less intelligent. You didn't point blank say that, but you inferred it and later apologized. It seems that you want more than anything in life, for people to just admit that the only reason that people hold their kids back if for sports. The truth is that there are many reasons people choose to take this option. We've tried to have an intelligent discussion here, but you don't seem to want to do that.
I do think that when you are typing on a message board that it is easier to commincate when people use decent writing skills. Especially when you infer that our mountain kids may be sub par and can't even spell mountain correctly, I'm gonna call you out on it.
Why don't we talk about something else like next year's schedule or who's coming back for our team. This thread isn't going anywhere. Merry Christmas from the mountains!
