cheetahpilot's Rambling and OT Assumptions

[cheetahpilot]

When I heard Tiger's post 2nd round interview I knew he had just admitted his violation of rule 26-1a.  I went online, golf channel, espn, cbs, nobody was talking about it.  I googled it and THIS was the only site I found discussing it.  The link said

Quote:

2013 Masters Discussion Thread, Update with Possible Illegal Drop from Tiger Post #343

I was not a member of the site.  Post 343 was made by the administrator, Iacas.

I don't care much about Tiger.  Admire his skills, not his person.  The administrator is obviously a fan of both, and has little patience with anyone who doesn't share his own bias.

Today I returned to that thread and posted a link to a youtube video that not only disproved the brief notion that he had actually hit from almost exactly the same spot, but also quoted Feherty predicting he would drop a couple yards back before he even did it.  That post has disappeared, and while looking back a couple pages for it, I found where the administrator has forbidden any further discussion of the topic he himself brought up.

This is not about Tiger to me.  It is just as much about Feherty's obvious identical lack of knowledge of the most commonly applied rule in the game, and Faldo sitting there never correcting him.

My limited experience on other forums defines the administrator as basically the owner of it.  I like hearing from other knowledgeable people on topics of interest to me.  I appreciate analytical thought.

I suspect I have just made myself unwelcome here to the owner of this site, and this post will also be deleted, and I will be banned.  If that is the case, I understand.  Good luck to you all, and thanks for briefly providing a place for a discussion that obviously needed a forum.

Wrong. Fan of the golfer - couldn't care less about whether he's a good or a bad person.

I posted twice that the discussion about the rules was done. The second time it was in bold. Several posts (pro and con) were removed for violating the rule.

Stop assuming; it makes you look ignorant.

That discussion can take place in other threads, as directed. The Masters thread, however, should now be about celebrating a great Saturday and Sunday, and Adam Scott's victory.

You've outed yourself as a person capable of being whiny and ignorant.

And since you titled the thread "Tiger wasn't the only one who did not know the rule." there are two possible responses.

If you meant you, you're right: you clearly didn't read the rule in the thread directing you to carry the conversation on elsewhere.

If you meant me, I knew the rule - I was the first to point it out, as you correctly noted in your post. Saturday morning brought the knowledge that the Committee had ruled while he was still playing - something I didn't know at 7:33 when Tiger gave his interview. So I didn't get the rule wrong. If the committee had not ruled, he'd have been DQed.

Your thread serves no real point, and will be locked (and renamed).

Stop assuming things. It doesn't make you look good, nor does it lead to a very good experience on the forum.
