As for Towlie, take his avatar at face value...
And while I think Towelle is a bit out of line with the veiled accusations, it does bring up some good points about the "other sides" of the coin.
How many here who would be upset about a rider being talked badly about would apply that same criteria to other athletes and/or celebrities? Cox's numerous threads calling Jay Cutler an idiot is a good example, but what about the threads in non-moto (from the past) about celebs like Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Billy Ray Cyrus, etc.
I think at a certain point as a parent you'd just have to realize that people are commening more on the "personna" they see rather than the real person you know. That's the only way to remain sane about it I would think.
There are lots of folks who still will defend the actions of a guy like Jason Lawrence, for example, because they know him in a different light than those who simply read about his mishaps. That doesn't make either of them completely wrong in their thoughts, but it's often times best not to try to attempt to reconcile the two different viewpoints. Just move on and don't place too much weight on the other persepctive.

Good luck to Matt, and your family.

Was that some sort of payback for something that happened in the past?
All you are going to do is set yourself up as a target, along with KC, because there are far too many here who get their jollies not just attacking riders and industry people, but more so when they can do it personally, from the safety of their keyboard.
They pretend to know everything, but don't.
They pretend to know how the industry works, but don't.
But they feel most empowered when they can tell some rider who wanders in here to "you suck" or some manager who comes to talk about his rider "your teams sucks" and then say to parents like you "your kid is ignorant," because then they can go back to their buddies, giggling like a schoolgirl, and say "I told Jo Bob Smith he's a douche" and that makes him feel like a big man.
But what they don't tell any one is they're the first in line for an autograph of that rider or begging for a jersey or goggles.
You can't win, so don't try, and more you try, the worse it will get

You nailed it
And good luck to both of you moms, and your sons.
I do thank all of you that have reminded me on this post that I may be taking this to heart too much. You are right.

They are all fine and a lot make most money then most.
Why you had to post that in this thread is beyond me.
A mother was defending her son and you try to bash this thread with something like this that had nothing to do with what was going on.
Another topic would of been just fine and more appropriate.
To any parents on here ... it's the internet. What can you do? The majority of folks are cool. Just ignore the few that chose to be jerks.
Certain individuals with a reputation are watched a little closer and they are dealt with if they get out of hand, just as one poster on this thread was. He's earned a vacation and he got it.
