sixiron Tries to Get Banned

[sixiron]

Howdy folks!

sixiron

[iacas]

Howdy right back.

Curious: do you greet people in real life like that? I do sometimes, despite never having lived in Texas. 😄 

[sixiron]

No usually I say what Ralph the female Monroe brother carpenter on green acres says: howdy doody!

I would like to know beforehand about these things, cos ain’t in the rules or code of conduct!

Question: what’s it take to get banned on this site?
Answer: honesty?

Are we allowed to have and voice our unorthodox views? 

(Is freedom of speech guaranteed by the constitution everywhere except for golfing forums?)

Are golfers allowed to have an opinion? What good is an opinion if you cant share it? 

thanks

p.s. “Putt straight”

are all moderators unjust control freeks? Or just those on golfing forums?

don

[The Committee]

Answer: honesty?

A combination of how much of a jerk you are and how long you do it. Or a spammer.

That answer is incorrect.

Potentially. They can't be about politics or religion.

You can, but see the above, and realize that people will give you the benefit of the doubt, and you should do the same.

You're really not off to a good start with the name-calling and insinuations.

[sixiron]

If I as on this forum before it was years ago and I can’t remember 

this is why I wanted to know ahead of time 

Not a troll, a troll seeks a response 

I don’t care if anyone responds or not

Fair and just is good

i did not call anyone names that’s not just and fair

I don’t know who anyone even is in this site, so I can’t really accuse them, or you, I only asked questions 

A few more questions if you don’t mind

are personal attacks on the pro’s allowed?

such they are cupcakes and snowflakes who think it’s owed to them to win every time?

Thanks Don

I agree with @The Committee about your start here.

Just post. If you're a reasonably intelligent person who can keep this in perspective and you're okay with others having a different opinion, you'll be fine.

We've never banned someone for disagreeing. We have banned people (far fewer than almost anywhere else I've been on the Internet) for being assholes.

You're not setting the stage very well, Don.

[sixiron]

I accused no one 

I only asked questions 

I just want to know where I stand?

Kinda answers that.

Yup.

This shit's just golf, man.

[sixiron]

Then they really should take down the “welcome everyone” sign

Do they really they really mean welcome mr nice guy now sit down and shut up?

if you are banned for honesty 

what does saying “I hate tiger woods get you”? Drawn and quartered?

Notice I did not say I hate tiger woods, I only asked a question 

Maybe asking questions is what is forbidden 

can’t imagine what’s gonna happen when I make my views about the modern rules of golf, modern equipment, and modern techniques and methods known?

And you don’t know so don’t guess that I oppose them, I may very much approve them

these are questions not accusations 

I’ve been on many forums, sports, politics, religion it’s all the same, are they really here to be a welcoming community or to crucify you?

question not accusation

don 

See already been told my question about golf attire shorts and long pants is quote “silly”

And accused of trolling for asking a simple question?

[Vinsk]

Not interested.

[iacas]

Nothing has been done to you, buddy. People are expressing their opinions of what you've posted so far.

Unsubscribe.

No “they” didn’t. They asked you a question and then shared an opinion.

1. You are. Just not a good one or an entertaining one. 
2. It was.

3. Yes.

[sixiron]

How would you know I have not been allowed to make known my real feelings and preferences or opinions?

don

he did say my question was “silly” silly debate about long pants and shorts, which I had no intention of starting a debate some one else did that 

don

Want to know my real opinion about Rory not winning the tournament today
