I should just let this thread drop to the bottom of the page and beyond, but I have to know: What did Kindle do to deserve lettters from people on how to behave? All I know is he was suspended for a "violation of team rules." That could mean dam near anything. Personally, until I know the specific reason why he was suspended, I don't see any reason to be giving him advice. In my opinion, if no one else knows, no one else should be "giving advice" either. That would just serve to make me madder if I was suspended for something small. You never know WHAT someone else knows! If you read my letter maybe you will understand that it was a letter of encouragement and to point out bad decision-making on his part. I know the reason he was suspended but I won't put that part on blast. Let's just say I am aware, as some others, are of another incident that happened in the past that would have affected his good standing in school if he would have been implicated like some others were. Now, I will repeat my second paragraph. If you read my letter maybe you will understand that it was a letter of encouragement and to point out bad decision-making on his part. If you now find it necessary send me a PM. You should never underestimate what anybody knows. Most of the time I know what I'm talking about.

I'll do that. But my thinking is if you have all this info, just shoot him an e-mail. I think it would be better received. I know if I'm Lewis Kindle or anybody else and somebody has some words of encouragement for me, I'd much rather they directed those words of encouragement at me specifically, and not cyberspace at large.
It's obvious you mean well, but we also have to think about how these things will be received by the intended party. It's now a three-page thread where some folks kind of piled on. That's simply not going to be appreciated by anybody except a person of the highest ability to self-reflect.

This tread is not the only thread where it is being discussed on BDV.
I don't regret posting tbe "letter". Let's hope he understands that everyone (I'm sure) on here wants him to be successful. More importantly, I'm hoping that he uses his experiences and any advice as constructive criticism to keep moving forward.
