Lonnie, if wgt banned a friend/clubmate of yours for cheating, and you had good reasons to think they had made a mistake, wouldn't you consider it unfair and rise to his defense? I believe we value the same things, and one of those things is that a man's reputation counts for something and is worth defending.
Not to rehash the same argument, but others have raised objections similar to yours, the idea that "wgt must have something on him they're not revealing." That's already been addressed...they have no way of detecting what's on a player's computer unless they're watching a twitched round and the player has task manager open. Remember what they said to Q: "Just tell us what you're using." All they had to go on was his ding rate over a 30 day period, and then the results of a "trial", the details of which have already been discussed.
That's it...they have nothing more. If you think they do have more, please tell us what it might be. They can't see what, if any, programs you're running while playing.
So we have the following: Assumed guilty, not told the nature of his offense prior to the trial nor what evidence he must present to prove his innocence, only after the trial, the conditions of which made it very difficult to ding because of a jumpy meter, is he told it was all about ding rate. To top it off, he still managed to shoot -8 for 9 holes under difficult conditions. The kangaroo court then determined him guilty and banned him permanently.
As I said in an earlier post, it's all very Kafkaesque and contrary to every rule of fairness I've learned from childhood on.
If what I've laid out above is at all credible, I'd like to think you'd be just as strident and persistent in defending a friend.
