I read through the e mail posted on here as being from a Gardner Edgerton Administrator.

I am assuming the e mail is accurate and was sent exactly as posted.

I do know have any personal knowledge of the seeding, past seeding, the tournament in the past or the tournament this year.

My comments are only based on the this quotation copied and pasted here from one of the above posts.

"I can tell you that if you were a parent in the Gardner Edgerton High School scene and I discovered that you were making comments to these affects and contacting another schools tournament management you would be in my office and we would be discussing this personally."

I take the end of this sentence to be written in a threatening manner. I don't know the person who wrote the e mail. During 26 years of teaching I have had the chance to meet many people who worked for school districts. Occasionally I have had the chance to meet an administrator or teacher who thought their authority extended into the world outside of school. Even in the case of criticism or praise by someone outside of their school. It has always been especially humorous to observe these teachers or administrators throughout their careers.
In any case from the way the e mail was written young Will is lucky he isn't a patron of the Gardner Edgerton School District. If so I would imagine he would be serving detention or clapping erasers for the next few weeks. The administrator might be mistaking his position in the school for authority in other parts of life.

Can any of you, as an adult patron of a district, imagine receiving a call or letter from an administrator telling you to be in his/her office to discuss your behavior?

Careful, Will, you maybe suspended from adult activities or sent to the alternative school for adults if you continue this behavior. They must have been granted far reaching power in the Gardner district.
