The absurdity and unequal treatment of individuals on this board has made me decide to quit today.

It seems a select few individuals can get away with murder and with constantly provoking other individuals with their utter nonsense that I no longer wish to be a part of this community. This is in part a moderation problem but it is also a problem of people thinking they are somehow more 'honest' to infer silly conclusions about other individuals and to attack their would-be hypothetical actions based upon amateur psychoanalysis.

This was an amazing community and I am very happy I was a part of it. I have slowly watched it transform into a few individuals picking fights with others and making negative comments consistently throughout their posts. I get enough negativity throughout the day unwillingly and I refuse to voluntarily subject myself to it any further than that which i cannot avoid.

To those who have consistently provided humourous comments and wity insights it has been a pleasure. To those who accuse others of never being able to take a joke, I think you need to look at yourself and put yourself in other people's shoes and perhaps be willing to be joked with yourself and not take things so seriously. The people who complain about other's being too sensitive are almost always (in the case of this board) the one's who end up being the worst offenders who are unable to take a joke themselves.

Thanks to those who contributed positive remarks and goodbye to those who didn't.

I think this forum is a little bit of a closer community than many other net forums. It's been mentioned before that if we expect members to introduce themselves (an act that I forgot to do), we could expect the same if they decide to leave. It's like being at a party. You wouldn't just leave without saying good-bye. You want your friends to know you're gone and why you left. This is his "good-bye"... or as it seems to be the case lately... his, "see you later". Hopefully it's just a cooling off period. I'm sure the other party (not mentioning names here) didn't mean anything by it. I've had my own beef with his posting style before but we worked it out... just chalked it up to his own personality and once you get that, you'll take his posts a little lighter... I have.

This is pathetic man. Anyone go ahead and read the post in question. There was NO NAME CALLING. Just a difference of opinion on something. I didn't personally attack her. She tried to make something out of nothing. I've seen people here out and out call someone a Putz (I won't say who) and the person not leave over it. Its the frickin Internet. Most of what I'm typing isn't even meant to be confrontational. Yes I'm opinionated and maybe sometimes get a bit excited voicing my opinion and if I"m disrespectful then send me a PM as to why you think so. I'd be glad to talk about it. Give me your number and I'll even call you on my dime if something I said has bothered you that much. But this leaving in a huff crap is ridiculous.

I have to say, I agree!, I wish people would just stop taking these opinions so personally. If you don't like what someone says don't read their posts anymore, don't bother in replying to anything they write, stop whinning about what you don't have any control over, "someone else's opinion."
We all will continue to say things to each other that we don't agree with or take issue with, but if you want to challenge someone on it be ready to take some heat over it and not put your tail between your legs and to look for the closest door to run through. If that's the way a person wants to react to someone else's comment well there must be other forums that every one sit's in a circle once a week and have group hug's. Go play 18 together and have a few beer and stop letting some comments ruin your fun here.
I'm sure you can just pick and choose who would like to talk and listen to.
And if your a dude or not a dude same thing, lighten up.:rolleyes:

I support your decision to leave Chris (If you dont mind me using your name), if this site, or certain individuals, make this an unpleasant experience...by all means feel free...
I have to say, that the "flame wars" on this site are a far cry from what I've read on other boards of this nature....Maybe it's because we're all sportsmen playing a gentlemenly game where we're expected to govern ourselves...who knows? This site isn't bad IMHO. There will always be differences of opinions, and members that just don't get along...so be it.

Hmm Simar just accused me of a racial slur in one of my posts concerning kathrynorchard. Actually he said someone reported it. And if he is accusing before checking it out then he is very neglectful. Being a minority my self 2 things I try to never do. Be negative towards someone else and use my minority status to cry foul. I think the latter is weak.
Simar also said I implied a name call if that makes any sense. Yet he has not told me what name I called.

If he's referring to the word putz!, it wasn't used as racial slur againist anyone nor said to the person in question, that's the only thing I could find.
Never saw anything for someone to be upset about or to report. Sad if that is the case.

his question was "What name are you accusing me of implying?"
"a name the language filters would catch or could be racially motivated, I'm not going to guess at what the person who reported the message interpreted it to be."

And for the record, my personal interpretation led me to object to the use of "people" as its easily taken out of context.

I'm not really catching what you are trying to say here Simar. Are you being hypothetical or are you trying to say something directly to me. All I see is something about the language filters catching something that could be racially motivated. "People" is your potential racial slur? Your pulling my leg right?:D

Have to agree there. Nothing wrong with stirring the pot a little, as long as it's not just being stirred for the sake of being stirred. I have no problem with opinionated posters, as long as nothing is said with malicious intent. Reading thru the post in question, I'd say the former is truer than the latter.:$

Ya really.....it's all fun. I've had some heated debates here and when it's over, it's over. If you don't want to talk anymore then don't. I just don't see why you need to tell everyone. Send a p/m to MOK and tell him if it bothers you that much.

I'm starting to think that maybe we should have a folder where people can talk back and forth, stirring pots knowing that everybody that is involved in the topic doesn't take things the wrong way.

I know i have had some "fun" conversations with guys, whether it be Sens/Leafs, or something else where we are basically taking shots at each other... however we all know that its just talk to talk, not like we hate the other guy.

Oh sure. Pick a fight I can't win.

Doesn't your by-line say something like"be gracious in defeat and gracious in victory and you'll never be short of a partner to play with"?
That line is a damn good approach in my estimation!

Sure you can, use your handicaps. If he's got a lower hdcp, you'll get strokes each side on the tougher holes.

Seriously though guitarman, some of your posts come across as confrontational, and often you won't let things just die. It's ok to agree to disagree, sometimes unless your better half won't let you get the remote. :cool:

What was he banned for? I don't see anything that he did that broke the "rules". Unless the mods actually think the word, "people" is a racial slur. :rolleyes:

Is putz a negative reference to a race?

Holy crap I just looked it up and its a fool or idiot and the second meaning is much worse.

I recall Tiger said 'I putt like a putz today' in his post round interview and got attacked by the British media. I believe a putz is considered a deragatory term in the UK for mentally challenged people.

Guitarman asked me to ban him.... so I obliged with a 7 day time-out.

We were having a discussion about his criticizing TGN's moderators and how the site is run. Like many of his "discussions" on here he didn't know when to let it go. Perhaps he will return from his cooling off period with a fresh approach. Perhaps not.

Anyway, the moderators on this site don't have any agenda. We volunteer our time to try and keep this place a fun and friendly site. Please try not to criticize how we do it. We try to be fair with everyone - please offer us the same courtesy.
