Flagpole, you've changed your emphasis so many times it's hard to keep up. If I didn't know any better I'd say you made some ridiculous off-hand comments early on, then when you were called on it you refused to back down from your stance regardless of the fact that you understand that you were wrong. So you selectively picked some critiques of your comments that you could make your best stand with (still poorly, mind you) and disregarded those that were impossible to refute.
Or you just refuse to accept that it is possible, likely, accepted, and common for friends to help each other out regardless of who is faster. And that it's possible, likely, accepted, and common for people to not give half a sh*t about some crappy dual meet.
Either way, you've pretty much proven yourself to be the biggest douche on the planet. Some old man who can't stand that there are people who would help each other out and can't stand the success of others so you devise a set of standards that, when not met, allow you to: question someone's masculinity, claim they have no self-respect, and discount any performance that makes you feel bad about your life (bear in mind, we're talking about a few teenagers here, so big thumbs up for that, buddy).
I saw someone mention Oak Harbor earlier in this thread. Could that be Oak Harbor WA? Do you live in WA? God, I hope so. I'd love for you to go to a meet and tell these kids your terrible views on their efforts. My guess would be that they'd laugh and/or brush it off, but I'd love to have them look you right in the eye and tell you what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit you are.
Hallelujah! Holy shit!
Where's the Tylenol?
[Though I suppose none of this matters since I have been paced and paced races myself - school records, all-Americans, conference championships, etc are all pretty meaningless to me now that I know how I should feel about the sanctity of dual meets]
