Letter Feb29

Sign your name to your opinion

Mitch Craft.

I knew that would get your attention. How dare you? In regard to Mitch Craft, if you feel you have something to say about my son at least have the integrity to sign or attach your name to your opinion. Or is that a problem? Afraid someone may actually call you on it?

Do you know Mitch Craft? You can and should have opinions on anything you feel strongly about and can justify. At least claim the opinion.

It amazes me how one 18-year-old high school senior can generate so much media attention for weeks. Get a life, people.

Mitch is a typical 18-year-old senior in his high school; and yes, I did say typical. He is not perfect -- kids will make mistakes but never should they be personally attacked in the media, continually, by people who aren't qualified to express such opinions about someone they don't know nor have a personal relationship with. You are more like an opportunist.

Mitch took responsibility and was held accountable for his actions, not only to his family and friends but also to the administrators and coaches at Cape Central High School.

Why the need to constantly attack Mitch and now Marty Mishow? Marty stated his opinion -- just like you did. The difference is he's man enough to put his name to his opinions. And you want to criticize him for his opinion. Why? Because it doesn't agree with yours? There are a lot of individuals who agree with Marty's opinion of Mitch and disagree with every negative comment made about Mitch. And no, I'm not referring to just us, his family. Make no mistake, I am proud of Mitch and proud of the way he has handled all the comments made about him. I know the person he is. I challenge you to know him, not judge him or his character based on the attacks and comments made by cowards willing to hide behind anonymous FanSpeak opinions.DARLA CRAFT
