Wisguy's Flameout

[bplewis24]

I wasn't very clear with my post I suppose.  I wasn't quoting Ernie because I disagreed with the specifics of his post, I quoted his post because he appeared to be the only one who offered a slightly different point of view from the consensus, and I'm taking it a step further than that.  I don't necessarily disagree with the idea of him being a prick or verbose.

FWIW I don't think the guy's a troll either. We have very few trolls. None, really, currently have the permission to post. The only troll of recent memory is in the Penalty Box for the second and likely final time.

I found Wisguy's post amusing in one respect: that he believes my blood pressure or emotions or attitude peaked at all, let alone rose to the level of being "enraged." Couldn't be farther from the truth. It's a discussion about a game. He continually missed the mark on what I care about, my opinions on things, and so on. It was amusing, and almost as if he was trying to get as much wrong as possible.

Wisguy, just for you I am going to wear long pants every time I can this year playing golf.  I will also wear this kit and a pair of designer jeans at least once this season to play golf.  I'll send you pictures.

It always amazes me how people can get so worked up about things that are said on an internet forum.  Ive said plenty of things that people have disagreed with.  Ive said rude things to people and had rude things said to me.  You know what?  Who cares.  I couldnt imagine ever thinking Im so important as to post a thread whining about the things that people said to me on this forum or any other.  Seriously, no one cares.

Not disagreeing with you here ... but just as a matter of fact, I don't think he actually started this thread.  He posted his original rant in some other thread, and it was deemed way OT and moved here for him.

I don't think the fact that this is its own thread was the crux of your point .. but just wanted to mention it just in case.
