Disgusted with WGT

  WGT you are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.   

  I can't believe you allowed that post in reference to the Elite Country Club,  to actually even get posted from some poor self pitying soul who is upset at the owner.  You made rules about mentioning other members in our posts and no it wasn't just a reference to a country club but to a person, namely the owner of the club, and his name was mentioned.

  That post should never have been allowed and although you shut down any replies that can be added you still left it up and is still up as far as I know.

  You owe a public apology to the owner of the Elite Country Club and as far as the sad little person that wrote the post to begin with,  he shouldn't even be allowed to use the forums because he stepped way over the line and WGT you let him.  

  I have never seen such an abuse of the forums in my 3 years as a member.  

  Needless to say the owner is left without recourse.      I am a member of the club which you obviously know by now,  I am not, however, in any leadership capacity,  just one of the bunch.  It is a great club with lots of stuff going on and I am really upset that this type of assassination can go on.   I could say a lot more if I were a little more elegant in my writing skills.    I just feel the line was severely crossed here and something has to be done about it.     Thanks    TJ

  I agree,  this was way beyond necessary, we have all at one time or another, said things that we regret. Once said, it is said, all we can do is get over it, and move on. To dwell and never forget is futile. Only adds fuel to the fire. Some fires add warmth and comfort, others need put out immediately.

  .. .. Storm in a tea cup, I've read the content and really its pretty lame,,, its between 2 individuals that should have fallen on deaf ears to start with.

  .. .. You ought to see some of the remarks whilst playing.. .. racism, sexist, anti-gay, and even just plain nasty crap.. .. of which I had to put up with earlier today for setting up a game of Blitz for crying out loud.

  .. .. Best we all learn to bite our tongues at times,,, unless of course its beyond the 'norm', then report the sods......

  I have no affiliation with the CC or the owner and I tried to back the owner up by saying I am sure he meant no harm but people take this wayyyyy to serious sometimes.

  WGT is so not fair in this forum sometimes from experience and witnessing such rules to be broken and not enforced. I have voiced my opinion in public and privately to mods and such but oh well . I guess in a perfect world right . We are all human and we do make mistakes.

  Recently one of my post's was held in moderation because I complained to a mod for his habit of  "Doing as I say, not as I do"!!!

  To be honest, I have to assume that's why it was held since they refused to tell me what the problem was.

  Which brings up another thought. I have asked many times what I said or did that was improper enough to hold my post's.

  I also asked each time one was held how I was supposed to know what was wrong with it if they didn't tell me.

  NEVER, not ONCE did I receive a reply.  

  But I digress.

  My point being that wgt can and will "Do as I say,not as I do" because they can and they are certainly arrogant enough to not care what others think.

  If this site ever fails and the management wonders why, they need only to look in the mirror.

  And me???

  Hi

  Country club is not an individual but an entity, owner there was mentioned as a club owner, so it's different than a typical calling out.

  I looked at it and was not entirely convinced it should be deleted (there are other factors that ar not known to everyone that I considered).

  TJ,  Please take no offence to this , but you don't know what you are talking about,If I could I would show you the PM I received from your great leader. when I left you might understand

  It not only was directed at me, but also my wife and kids, thats all I'm going to say.

  Everyone has a right to go where he are she wants to. The man said nothing , but letting members know how he was treated, he broke no rules, ( if he did you can bet it would have been pulled) remember you dedication is only as good as you stay there.
