My fingers and toes were crossed. My prayer was this forum could operate in a civilized manner. For two full weeks I've read the back and forth. Nothing has changed. Bill, Underpar and Paul got a ticking off for making abusive comments in French. I'd have thought  Donna sent a very clear message about posting in foreign languages. The message was ignored and  one of the Fab4 totally defies her warning. This is immediately followed with a post in Portuguese.
Both are deliberate defiance of a clear instruction. Both have one purpose and one purpose only. This is to incite and inflame those who enjoy discussing golf and its wider characteristics. I'm not surprised at Donna's despair.

  

Permettez-moi de vous repeter, Monsieur VigrataForest, que nos les message sont

d'excellente qualite.  Si vous n'avez pas eu un seul message depuis deux

semaines, la seule explication possible, c'est que personne ne vous telephone !

N'est ce pas?

So you are a moderator. I am surprised that moderators have names like "Troll" but I will glad obey. What I do not understand is why you are putting certain members, but not your fab four. I agree nothing has changed, as Rory is still here, and while Tiger is not playing. You, Vigrata, Pen, VG, and a few others, the names are hard to follow, but your abusive putting of TTFans is quite obvious. So, I wonder why you are made a moderator ? ; - )))

How sad. This forum is right back to square one.  Bill is back as Doug93. Underpartoday is demanding anyone wanting to mention anything not containing the name Tiger Woods is pushed into an isolated corner. EYE is flicking the bird to everyone by posting in French. The Fab 4 are reunited and ready to start a new campaign of internet bullying. 
I have all but quit posting under my long time name.  Why risk getting a mouthful of abuse ( sometimes in French ) for voicing an opinion? The Trolls are easily identified and Donna wipes them out in a very timely manner. The real poison hasn't changed.

Are you and Vigrata friends, because you seem to have the same eye doctor : - (((

Look above, it says doug93. I really think you should change your id here, as it sounds like a group name of those on forums who seem to be there for the wrong reasons.

Unbelievable.  Bill has now become a stalker. It gets sadder with each post.

Can it get any stranger? Underpartoday ,who happily abuses other posters in French , is feeling aggrieved when the truth is posted.

I am female. I have been a member here for years. And I am tied of you and your 3 friends bullying attitude.  15,000 posts does NOT mean you own this site.
Donna has repeated and repeated the exchange of views on all aspects of golf is encouraged.
 You really seem to believe you can post abusive comments in French and get away with it.  This thread " Villages Resigns " was opened to show the way 4 posters on this forum operate.
   Anyone but a blind person would see where the real problem lies. Bill was removed and a relative calm descended on the forum. Bill has returned and it is again a cesspit. Even you can identify the common denominator.
  For the record I never had the slightest problem  with you personally when I was a regular poster. I took the best advice on offer and for the most part had you on ignore.

DONNAKAY  ( sorry but the computer would not allow me to edit  the message so i copied the entire thing)

p.s.   and for the record, donnakay, since this troll person insists on lying on me i will set the record straight.
i do not speak french.  i used google translate.  anyone can do it.  
but i started a thread as an encouragement to Tiger.   some of these same posters did not like what i posted.
and they kept  pushing  and pushing  and pushing and complaining, and complaining and complaining and i
realized that their constant complaining reminded me of Oscar the Grouch.   and i referred to them as
pathetic grouches.

here is the meaning of a grouch taken from Websters.   and this is what they do:
2: a habitually irritable or complaining person : grumbler

and then i translated it in french.  and have not said a word about it since.  and have not translated
anything in french either.   but they continually bring it up. 

I HAVE NOT ABUSED ANYONE IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH.  BUT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY ABUSIVE
TOWARDS ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM OR IGNORES THEM.  AND I HAVE
BEEN IGNORING THEM FOR YEARS.   BUT WHEN THEY CONSTANTLY KEEP PUSHING AND PUSHING AND PUSHING....................

IN ADDITION.  I AM NOT BULLYING ANYONE.  IF THEY FEEL BULLIED BECAUSE I IGNORE THEM...................  THEN............. ?????????????

Again, I remind you I am doug93 and my real name is Jim and you owe me an apology. Enough said. : - (((
