  Don your right , has anyone heard of the 1^st amendment which by the way protects hate speech, even though I find it repulsive, but there is a cure, if you’re an owner , why would you bring him on board, if you’re a player on his team you can ignore it, or quit your CC, but there will be another one someday there to offend you and many others, Ignore the name is your best option, if you attempt to have him start over buying new equipment earn his way back to whatever level he is, because you didn’t like his title I wouldn’t want him to find out it was you, If I was him and found out it was you, I’d make your life Miserable.  Better to respect his choice of idiot name he has.  Down to 24, boy does time fly.

  Yeah although you claim to be a great recruiter none of them play after joining the club . So I spent today getting rid of some dead weight just like you . worthless players who were making my club look bad . Id rather have a small club of 20 who play than 100 who dont .

  I see you`re still crying over me kicking you out of the club for poaching . Such a big baby and all over a game . So tell me is that your dads pic on your profile ? If its actually you , then you should be ashamed to let everyone see your face . Alex the big cry baby .

  I understand the sentiment, but the 1st Amendment applies to the US (government, in specific) and not other parts of the world.  It also has limitations.

  I believe WGT has stated they can decide, without reservation, if they want to allow a username or not.  The OP, or any other player, can make such a request.  Whether it is acted on is up to WGT.

  Some names of players I find very offensive , can anything be done about that.

  You are offended by the names of some players. Don't play them so you won't be offended. 

  You just started playing the game. There will be plenty of thing you can be offended by while playing. Some self inflicted and some you want to blame on the world. The only offensive thing are the ones we say when we miss the shot/putt like !@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@ OMG

  I dont need to find anybody I can do it myself .I told you before numbers dont excite me . I`d rather have 20 who play than 100 who dont . There`s no need for a truce you were the only one who was upset . When you can respect me as the club owner and do as I ask then you can return to the club . All members have life time membership as long as they abide by the club rules .

  Agreed, and no mention about some pictures, i think is not the place to share that (semi naked womans & that stuff), but...

  my two cents...just move on

  The Ist frames what most would hold dear - freedom of speech. Restrictions apply same as with any law.  E.G. directly inciting violence or using obscene language.

  WGT is not (rightly) above any law, but endeavours to sensibly apply what normal people will find obscene if broadcast during kids TV hour.  From time to time we may agree or disagree how they do that, but nothing so far has warranted Supreme Court intervention.

  If something is directly inciting violence or is obscene I would report it.  If you just feel offended that's not reason in itself going to count as there would potentially not be a name left standing if one person being offended was enough..............I assume you referred to something "obscene" as described.

  Well good luck recruiting, I wish your club well,   Now I haven't asked 1 player except when playing him if he was happy where he was and he said yes, next day he joined my club, amazing how Karma works ... wish you the best and  for my friends of years at skype club

  Yes I know I made that rule, But for now, I will let my members all have to say on how we do things, that's teamwork, I have a small club 10 members and really haven't started recruiting yet except my bad, the players I recruited from my old club, it was wrong , but I was upset and still have this feeling of being slighted, But it's my fault 100 percent for making poor choices..... I'm only human   Good Luck, with your recruiting.
