Please dont take offense to this, but, you have ZERO friends. CC's are all about making friends.
Yes I did take offense to your
ill-considered judgment of someone, as almost anyone would IMO? :) I think for
most people, it's common understanding that when someone couches comments
toward a person by also saying: "please don't take offense"; then the comments
are indeed usually meant to be offensive perhaps? Regardless, I purposely chose not to
use the 'Friends option' and why I did so, is none of Your business. IMO, while I respect that you are certainly
entitled to your opinion that "CC's are all about making friends"; does
not necessarily mean everyone must agree with Your opinion or you'll send them
a note criticizing them. ;)
Secondly, you didn't even
address the 'topic'. IMO, apparently, all you wanted to do was judge and
criticize someone based on how many so-called game-site "friends" they have
while completely ignoring the fact that the topic is all about looking
into joining a CC? ;) Which is opposite to your inference that: "CC's are all
about making friends" and therefore hypocritical and if most CC members behave
like you just did; that would be just one seriously legitimate reason why someone
might choose to avoid CCs, IMO? Also IMO, for example, your response is no
different than assuming someone is a coward in their "opinion", because
they wouldn't accept an invite to play a difficult course like Oakmont? So they
send the person a Wall post saying, for example; 'Please don't take offense
to this, but, it may be considered cowardly to refuse an invite to play.
Invites are all about making friends.' etc. etc. etc. That's Life Lesson
#1, IMO.
Nor does 'choosing not to use the Friends option',
imply that someone is neither a good or bad person nor a social or non-social
person. Did you ever stop to think that
some people have enough friends in their life whom are not online and joined
the game site strictly to play golf and simply don't want to nor need to try to
find more friends on a game site? ;) Besides,
there is Facebook and other social sites that are perhaps more preferable and conducive
for finding friends but to each their own? That's Life Lesson #2. And finally, IMO,
you need to learn to respect other people's choices on this game site
and learn not to say anything unless you have something kind or objectively
constructive to say, stop assuming things which you know nothing about
and then make careless statements based on an ignorant assumption. Hope you've learned a lesson from this but
that was my sincerely well-considered and well-intentioned response to your
remarks? :) Bless you and have a great
day!
