    Wow, just got a chance to read through this, I must say, there are many things I didn't think would turn out this way! (in the thread)

    First off, I have to say-and again Jake wasn't aware of all my issues, in fact he still isn't-, what he did last night really rocked my boat.

    The first time I played with Jake was in an MPC game, all the time him offering me pointers, while credits are on the line.  After the game, we became "friends", and he let me know he would offer tips/etc, any time he could.

    You all see the videos of BiB, SunCity, some may think they are bragging on their game, but I think the majority know it is to help all the players here.

    I know there are just a few *apples* in this post, and I am sure they may on their other account, and possibly I stepped on their toes here in the forums, but man/lady up, send me an invite and we can talk about one on one.

    I think what some may not realize, is WGT is a home to many, not just an addictive game, but shoot, in my CC, if a few were to leave, much fun in playing and ribbing would be gone in my life.

    I think WGT as a whole is like that as well, often people speak of Tibbets here, and the many things he had done, I am sure there was a void in many players when he left WGT.

    If anyone had a chance to read Tiffers post about the "True Legends of WGT", and iff form time to time you had ever checked their wall posts, what you would see is a plethora of "thanks for..."

    Whether advice, etc.

    I stand by my original thought that some can become great here as a player, and some are great in life.

    Thanks again Jake.

    Good gesture, NUFF SAID. Don't be jealous because you don't have a friend like him. B1

    Archonian:

    Do the forum moderators feel that this thread belongs under this heading in this context? If so; it only shows bias.

    Look I don't know what the big ailment was.. but if it's only for the 1% then keep it WITH the 1%. Sort of like in court. If the prosecution/defense opens up pandora's box then all hell is likely to break loose. 

    This is a virtual golf forum though, not a court. Just what sort of hell can come out of this? Relax man and move onto the next thread :)

    Strange how someone posting something nice can cause such a vitriolic reaction from certain people.  More power to your mice and keyboards Mike and Jake.  A power cut to those unable to see the points made in the original post.

     

    Archonian:

     

    You prove my point quite effectively. You ask the FORUM MODERATOR on a FIRST NAME basis if it's OKAY to put me on blast. It's all a test Lizzie. You talk a lot but Mi5 you are not. Poof. Be gone.

    I may be missing something here but I'm pretty sure his name is not Icon.  If anything it's more likely to be WGT but I have a feeling it's probably not that either.  And what was this test exactly?  Basic knowledge of time?  I rather think Lizzie passed.  Oops, sorry for any offence caused.  I mean Ms. Rossetti.

    So, Poof.  Damn, he's still there.  

    POOF.  No, still there.  

    POOOOFFF.   Huh?  Works for Gandalf, why not for me?

    Oh wait.  Of course.  This is the internet, not some fanstsy world.  You can't make something happen just by writing it down.

    Idiot.

    once again...i have never posted in these forums, and only the 2nd time i look at them, and the post i read is about some guy talking about something him and one other guy know about......thats not a forum, what happened between the 2 was nice, and if he had said that fair enough, but he posts a thread which is basically saying either...i know something you dont know or 'guess what happened today? oh no actually i cant tell you.....'

     

    what jake did was nice, but this post is still irreverent, thank in private.

    dont post something saying i know something you don't.

    Jake is an awesome guy. Spend a few minutes with him and you can't help but to be enamored with his boyish charm and gentlemanly ways.

    Yeah, other than his father making me cry, he seems like a great guy. :)

    So a decent guy makes a lovely gesture to another player - man's choice to do so. No need for negativity, move on and take the narrow minded, parochial, attitude in tow.

    Of  those that have contributed to this thread so far  I'd say 'the small percentage of good' far outweighs the negative repsponses - maybe there are actually a lot more decent people on here/in life than some appear to believe.

    Those that matter to me don't judge - those that judge don't matter.... simples.

    More power to the positives I say.

    Happy hittin'

    Johnny.

    Archonian:
    The O.P. is basically stating "i'm special and you're not" and "I have an inside secret but I won't tell you what it is".

    One should not shot from the hip without understanding what is actually being said....I read the OP's post twice & got that he was thanking someone for doing something....nice jesture & it did not come across as if he was trying to tell people he was 'special' or 'cool'.  Your mis-interpretation is your own problem....but does not warrant your attack....if it did not concern you why even bother to comment.

    Archonian:
    I'm not "blasting" you Jake. I'm blasting the other guy. Why create this thread in announcements and news?

    Just because he did not wish to be specfic did it cross my mind that I should come on here & 'blast' him...No;  do you feel justified in 'blasting' him purely on the basis that you felt that he posted in the wrong place or do you have another agenda?  ......as to the placement of his post...he was just announcing that something nice happened.....

    Archonian:
    Couldn't agree more. I've observed these forums for years (literally)

    I agree with Lizzie......extraordinary that you make this claim when you only joined on 22 Feb 2012.....less than 2 months ago....and have played 2 ranked rounds & your 1st post on this forum is to attack some you don't know who has been on here since July 2010 (my 1st post was a simple 'LOL').  I have read alot of the OP's previous posts on the forums, some I might not warm too but do I go 'blast' him.....No. 

    As with Lizzie, I too would have given you the benefit of the doubt  but unfortunately you have shown your hand......are the people on this particular thread bullies as you have suggested....again No....this is a vitual game not the school yard.....if you don't like it then leave it.....I would have thought that you would have sized that up with your years of observations.....and yet you chose to join......

    Happy hitting.

    Almost 3 years ago Jake was my very first friend on WGT ... and I can tell you with 100% certainty  this isn't the first time Jake has preformed a random act if kindness ...

    Shortly after we starting playing WGT, while I was on a business trip in Georgia --- Jake and I hooked up in a bar for a beer and to chat.  After a few drinks i confessed I hadn't sex in years.    Jake ... well .. I think I've said to much already ... but you can fill in the blanks.

    ----------------------------------------------

    Thanks to Jake now that problem is fixed  ..... now a days I have sex almost every night.

    I almost had it on Monday

    I almost had it on Tuesday

    I almost had it on Wednesday

    I almost had it on Thursday

    ....................
