Once again, I feel like I have to be "Mother" and call out our
contributors, since this Forum is rapidly deteriorating into
name-calling and meaness again.
I'm not going to name names - you all KNOW who you are!
It is time to STOP accusing every person with whom you disagree of
being a troll; it is time to STOP insulting other posters by name; it is
time to STOP denigrating the opinion of another member who happens to
admire or dislike another golfer.
If you disagree with an opinion, it is certainly okay to say so. Do
it with civility and use facts, not insults, to back up your points.
If there is a poster whose contributions regularly annoy you - be it
stats, cheerleading, talk about a subject you dislike - be an adult and
just skip those posts.
This Forum will NOT become like those on ESPN or the previous TGC
discussion boards, where obscenities, insults, name-calling, fighting,
and ugliness reign!!! We are fans of Tiger Woods, who you NEVER hear
insult even those who have seriously injured him. We WILL follow his
lead and be polite or just hush up when agitated!!
When we have a true Troll, posting with filth and lies, they will be
deleted as soon as I see them and you may continue to notify me by email
if they turn up while I'm otherwise engaged. Again, people who have
different opinions are NOT TROLLS.
I'm seriously asking you all to think before you post and be careful
to observe our rules about interaction with other members. Do not, I
plead with you, make me start banning Tiger fans because they can't use
basic good manners!!!!
Let's be friends or at least pleasant acquaintances and enjoy this week of Tiger golf!!!!
