The original posts weren't even anywhere out of line. There's nothing to object to.

And you never make rude jokes with your friends? Are you a member of a Nunnery? Life is meant to be enjoyed. I honestly can't understand your logic.

I don't demean other races or the sexual orientation of others. Ever. If you think that's OK and you enjoy that sort of humor then that's your issue. I get plenty of enjoyment out of life, I don't need to be sexist to do so.

Nobody in this thread demeaned other races or the sexual orientation of others. Are we even in the same thread

Where's the sexism? The only thing i saw was someone commentating that she is apparenly a lesbian. Is homosexuality a hushed up topic in your family? People can talk about this stuff openly, you know.

That is a classic!  I love that movie!  For those of you who haven't seen it, the movie is "Stripes".  Sgt. Hulka, aka, the Big Toe...

There was no "demeaning" of other races or sexual orientation in this thread.

I know. That was in response to deasy55's post about making rude jokes with your friends. But yes, joking about Kelly Tilghman's sexual orientation is out of bounds IMO.

Seriously guys? C'mon, this thread should have died with the announcement that there would be no announcement. The only thing that came out of it was that Steniy is joining Excel Sports Management.

Point taken. Thanks jamo.

Excuse me? Since when does rude jokes = demeaning of races or social orientation? I make rude jokes with my friends. Included in those friends is a gay person and a person of asian decent.

The 'announcement' was kinda like a balloon with all the air let out of it.  On another note....is it not ironic that MSchott is being quite defensive towards certain comments when M. Schott (Marge Schott) was one of the most bigoted sports franchise owners of the late 20th century IIRC.  I'm just saying....

Oprah and Ellen on the next Presidential Ticket...

FYI, M is the first letter of my first name and Schott is my last name. no relation to Marge. No irony.

[ElWagonne]

I kinda figured as much

I can't believe this thread took up 3 full pages. Some people need to learn life lessons, and the fact that they are adults and are still immature babies speaks for itself. We have no business talking about sexual orientation on this website. It's about GOLF.

And thanks to you there were about 20 extra messages about her orientation.  Well done.

Not his fault. All he did was try to end it in the first place. But some people just keep talking and talking and then in turns into an argument.
