  You say enough is enough and to that I say you are right . But let that enough start with the disrespecting of others the bullying the berating and end with the understanding that yes this is only a game and that the forums is a place where we can all come and voice our views without having to endure such actions .

  Very true, now could you go and read what you've accused the op of in the thread looking new chapter in career "a liar" and "a multi" are amongst what you've thrown at him.  I did respond and mention bullying but it got moderated.

  Sorry, my fault, i didn´t know that I need your permission first before I say or do something, master. Btw, do you allow me a question about who was bullied by me? Or may I be allowed to say that every third chinese might tell me what to do but not you? So who do you think you are?  Well, in fact i dont realy want to know.

  Don't sweat if Friedel.  I'm surprised to see Lonnie respond like that to an innocent post.  If some offensive phrases crept into it then we have to bear in mind you aren't using your first language here.  Not that I spotted anything offensive though.

  I like Lonnie, he's usually on the same wave length as me but it seems defending his club mate got him a tad vexed.

  I fear you're trying to defend the indefensible though Lonnie.  I doubt the day will ever come when Mr. Fox admits he messed a shot up, it's never his fault.

  Ok so he hasnt taken the so called advice offered . Or he hits a bad shot and didnt own up to it . Jumping down his throat and calling him names isnt justified . It doesnt matter if he`s a club mate or not .He`s still a person bottom line . Some of my response was to Friedel but the majority was to all in general .

  We love to say that this is just a game so again I say then act like it .Why take comments made about it so personal . Why so much attitude and harsh criticism towards others if this is just a game ? Im not vexed and although english is not his first language he`s using it just fine and when you read my response to him in regards to his last post I said nothing offensive but if he took it that way then so be it .

  My main point was that we all need to be more considerate of how we speak and respond to each other as again this is only a game .The forum is for all who play this game and none of us has the right to tell the next person what they can say when voicing their view about the game and how it plays . You dont agree with that view it doesnt justify name calling or disrespecting that person . In fact if you dont agree with it dont respond to it or voice your view in return if its different .

  Yeah we all hit bad shots or shots we thought were bad only to get good results myself included ( can you believe that ) and yeah we all dont complain . We dont all post it in the forums either . But we also know that the game can and does deviate the results of good shots and gives us bad results as well . So everything is not all player error and we all know thatas well .

  So we cant control the outcome of every shot that we hit . But we can control what we say and how we treat others and that was the point which I have been trying to make in this thread .

  Secondly...why continually complain in a public way?  After 6+ years of experience, the OP should know wgt doesn't care about his gripes. 

  Maybe the idea is to find like minded others so he can continue to believe bad scores are wgt's fault and good ones down to his good play (despite wgt).  I think Paul's right about this, feeding that paranoia is a hindrance not a help.

  Is that part of the off moderation agreement? LS follows you around to see when you'll crack.

  LS is a 2nd tier bully with a short man complex. He gonna be waiting a loooong time.

  You're right Lonnie, many shots are real head scratchers, not down to player error.

  The thing is most of us just shrug them off and get on with the round, we don't start threads bemoaning the state of the game.  Obviously everyone is entitled to use the forums as they see fit, they can put in and take out of it what they will.

  What does bug many of us around here though is when someone appears to only make negative posts, pretty much only complaining about how bad the game is.  I have to wonder what makes such a person continue to play this game.

  I have no beef with you, none at all.  I've read many positive and helpful threads from you and no doubt will read many more.

  I don't completely agree with you in this case but that's no reason for bad feelings.  You're absolutely right that we can't control every aspect of the game but should be able to control our reactions here.

  Just to set the record straight - CT never asked for pity because he is moderated. He has said it is unfair as he was effectively flamed and not getting a definitive time frame is unfair.

  The thread I believe you are referring to regarding moderation was published by me, without CT's prior knowledge.

  What is blatantly obvious that you indeed troll CT's posts, and also that the posting guidelines are purely a guideline, and as such are subject to interpretation by the moderators.

  Constantly these "guidelines" are broken (including by myself) yet very few people are punished. A modicum of consistency would be nice, rather than personal subjectivity being applied. 

  Personally I do not find your posts offensive, nor do I find them interesting, constructive or informative so I usually bypass them. ,

  A good reason to spend money on this game: This thread.

  Forget CC clashes. WGT should sell a Moderation Free Card in the Pro Shop (100 cr ?) to be played when the need arises. You'd make a fortune guys.

  Popcorn anyone?

  Interesting point of view............      Personally, I find your post's remarkably similar to the same way you find mine; difference being I only contribute two or three post a week as opposed to your ongoing forum barrage.....much easier to bypass mine.  However, giving credit where credit is due...............you do offer some constructive advise and answer member questions on occasion...

  In regard to "Harvey Wallbanger"............ For months and months,  Ole' Harvey has contributed MANY useless posts, rants, and "WallBangers"  about his moderation and conspiracy theory  issue with WGT Mods..........then pen's the following

   "Secondly...why continually complain in a public way?  After 6+ years of experience, the OP should know wgt doesn't care about his gripes. "

  LMAO.....    Harvey SCOLDS the member for doing EXACTLY  the same thing  he does daily...........
