I figured golf. The lawn doesn't need mowing. I get out there and run
into a 4some of African American guys who wave me through as soon as
they see me. No one else till the back nine. I play 10 and see some poor
kid in a cart slogging along behind a 5some of "seniors", a group of the
regular "guys" probably playing a 2 buck nassau or something like that.
They wouldn't let the kid through...so I was doomed. I had originally
thought they were on 12, and looked to cut in on 17 and play it and
18...but somone was finishing 16 so that was out. I then thought of
starting on 15 and noticed the old inconsiderates were just finishing 14
(12 and 14 are side by each). So I walked back to 11 and played 11-14,
walking, in the time it to the aged and characterless to play 15 (par
4) and tee off on 16. I then went for the 17th tee, skipping 15 and 16.
I'd probably still be out there if I hadn't.
A glorious day in any event, but no matter what these days, you can't
escape inconsiderate slow golfing jerks! +4 for the front, +10 for the
back with ESC score for the 2 hole missed. Short game died on the back.

Sounds like you got it made. Balmy days and all the free golf you can
play.
Do they take the flagsticks up in the Winter? Probably won't hurt your
score at all, just aim for the middle of the green.

Yes they usually pull the flags. And forget about backspin on frozen, rock
hard greens. At least the water hazards are frozen. The balmy days are about
to end up here by the weekend.

My course keeps its flags - but unlike most local courses, doesn't
have 3 holes for them in the winter.

Well the guy who's about at my level hasn't played for a year since
his kidney transplant. One guy is retiring tomorrow from my work
who's considerably better than I am. He has put on a few annual
tournaments in the mountains that I've gone to that were mostly black.
My flight of the Men's club is all white, but it is my intention to
improve to the better flight which has a black man - although the
kidney transplant guy lives next to the course and wants to join the
Men's club.
In my "we vs they" mind here, we is golfers.

We've got a major snowstorm around Denver. I left work early and the
radio is telling how hard it is to get around now. I'm sorry that
yesterday I only brought my thicker jacket to work - I try to bring my
light jacket in my car so I can go to the range if it's too cold for
shirtsleeves. I need to go to the gym now around 3 times per week
for my cardio work, but it might be after Christmas before the courses
are open with this amount of snow.

That's headin this way. We're supposed to have 4-8" of snow by Sat. Perhaps
a white Christmas after all.

Non-essential workers were told to stay home. In the case of the
University of Colorado the only things open (besides what has to
always be open) are what is necessary for final exams so the kids
don't get stuck here. Last night's Nuggets game was cancelled, and
I imagine tonight's Avalanche game might be stuck. The Broncos did
not practice yesterday. I held off on my wife's big gift until the
last minute so that she doesn't see it on the charge card. (We need
disposable anonymous charge cards - not only would it make buying my
wife presents easier - it makes buying my girl friend presents
easier!!)

I stand behind my original statemeent in the thread. People are
categorized every day as it relates to race, national origin and the
sort. Leave it to RSG (or any other discussion group) to just jump on
a part of the post to try to make someone look foolish. Once again,
the anonymity of the internet is above the board.

I've just got to make sure that all of my computers have the same kill
file.
You slimy little prick.
The only two things that you can lay claim to here are:
1) being the only person ever to be asked NOT to attend an RSG
tournament.
2) shooting off your mouth to show how absolutely stupid you are.
Botany is a subcategory of Biology, and Rob states on this page that
"My teaching specialties are Plant Ecology, and Genetics. My main
research interests are the plant ecology and plant genomics".
Now go look up the term " botany". You might find that it includes
plants. Now who shows demented intelligence?
Then you can resume your low-life stalking of Dalecki, Strauss,
Newell and me.

People like you aren't hard to figure. People like you think that these
poor, downtrodden minorities need your help to get by...they need you
to make choices for them...and of course we all need to come together
and be just like you. A Native American businessman cannot come to work
in traditional Native American dress, because you consider it to be
unusual. African Americans cannot use colloquialisms and syntax that
characterize the African American community in the workplace because
you don't use such language patterns. Now me, and people like me don't
care. Wear what you want to work, and as long as I understand what you
say, I don't care what colloquialisms or syntax you use when you speak
to me, and if I want to speak to you, I recognize it is up to me to
understand you; it is not up to you to speak in a manner that I
understand (of course if you want to speak to me those roles are
reversed). Of course you will always come back with the idea of what
behaviors are "best", and it's not a race thing, it just so happens
that your traditions are "best".
Recognition of different cultural traditions takes you and those like
you out of your comfort zone. The last thing you want to do is deal
with life as African Americans almost always do. You golf at a club
where almost everyone is white. Try golfing at a club where everyone is
African American and you are one of a handful of people who are not.
Maybe then you might understand why many (like almost all) African
Americans want to hold on to their culture and not be absorbed into
yours.
To you, progress is assimilation; you are like The Borg! To me,
progress is achived though the recognition and celebration of
diversity, along with the development of the understanding that leads
to mutual tolerances of diversity. If a Native American IP services
salesman wants to wear Native American Dress to work, it is
meaningless. All that really matters businesswise is his sales record.
That many people are social neanderthals like you hardly surpises me.
You cannot let go of the idea that when someone refers to a person
based on the cultural group they choose to represent, the reference
must be derogatory. You simply cannot see that doing so is more often a
sign of acknowledgement and respect. Even the people you would call
rednecks, a clear derogatory demonization of those people on your part,
are coming around to this, but you can't see it from your country club.
I can see it at my muni though!

Rob, you are really full of shit. You have no idea what I think, or
feel, or do, to help or hinder others of any race. You have no idea
what my goals are, or what my financial means happen to be. First you
try to take a shot at me by asking what color the workers at my club
are, implying that we treat them as menials....then when I tell you
that there are no black servers, you try to use THAT as a demeaning
factor.
I will guarantee you...that should be in caps...that I have
coexisted, and worked, with more professional blacks than you ever
have. Plus, you'd know their names. You're foolish to even deign to
tell anyone else how they think or feel, since you seem not to know
yourself.
You'd be much better off not to cast aspersions, especially those that
imply predjudice towards blacks, at me. You're way out of your league
there, and knowing my background makes me think that you're even more
stupid than I thought.
Loosen up, no one cares that you're a windbag with nothing in your
head except botany....at which I grant that you are a master.

All well and good, but wasn't it you that began by casting aspersions? Just
about everyone in this thread should loosen up. A man mentioned that a
foursome ahead of him was composed of black men, despite the fact that their
blackness had no relevance to the point at hand. So what? If you wish that
people shouldn't notice race, you are being naive. They do, and they always
will. It would be a bad sign if they didn't.
I played Cedar Crest again today, and it was wonderful. The course is in a
predominately black area of town, and I'd estimate that some 60% of the
golfers out there are black. As far as I can tell, about 100% of the staff
is. I noticed it. It stands out. I bet that most of the black men I came
in contact with there noticed that I'm white. It stands out. I would
venture a guess that at least a few of them resented my presence there. I
was pleasant to them, and they were pleasant to me. So what? as Miles once
asked....
Did I mention that it was a wonderful day golfing? Shot pretty well, for me
at least, and the weather was perfect. I miss green fairways. There was a
foursome of whites ahead of me the whole round, and they wouldn't let me by.
It was almost like a matter of principle to them, I guess since I was a
single without standing. They were playing on a 4 hour pace, so I can't
complain. Still, it would have been more sociable to let me play through.
I was waiting at least a few minutes for every shot. I wouldn't be
surprised to find a few black foursomes out there as equally unsociable,
were I to play there enough to find out first hand. So what?
It was a little dicey going home. It was getting dark, and I had to stop
for gas near the course. I was a little worried about that. Not because I
was the only white person in sight, but because it was a rough neighborhood.
Should I have not been worried _because_ it was also a black neighborhood?
So what.

That does it. I like the way you think... you and I have *got* to
meet for some golf sometime soonish. Maybe Bobby can join us if he
wants.
You pretty much described my feelings about playing Cedar Crest to
the letter. Yeah, race feels like an issue there... but not a big
issue. I've never felt uncomfortable there.
Meadowbrook in Fort Worth is much the same way (and is a similar
track, for that matter, great classic layout with lots of hills).
I've joined up with brothers out there lots of times, it's always
been great.
What part of Dallas are you in? ISTR you mentioning this before
but I've slept since then...

I'm up for that. Actually, I've been meaning to get in touch with Kevin
Timm as well. He plays out at Sherrill. I've got a membership at Waterview
in Rowlett, and I can play there just about any time (I believe there's 10%
off for people playing with 'members' - some municipal course, but that's
another story...). Tomorrow for that matter (I'll be there in the AM;
Sunday as well, barring rain). XMas has been a crunch, and so I can't play
anywhere else until around New Year's. Email me at:
s_k*_ottym*_ac@veri_zon.net Remove all _'s and *'s.

Me, neither. I notice the racial overtones, but that is swamped by the
impression that I'm playing a first rate course for peanuts. I don't get to
play courses that nice very often.

We may be about 5-10 miles from each other. I'm just out of Wylie.
I've been meaning to get with Kevin Timm for some time. Chris and I
play often, so we'll just have to get this foursome together. Problem
is that Chris is waaaaay over in Ft. Worth. Halfway, Chris?

So have many died in the wool racists, as you must well know. That means
nothing.

You jumped on me here. You started it. You cast aspersions towards me, and I
tossed a few back. If you find such activity so distasteful, refrain.
When you jump on me for using the term African American to describe people,
it clearly implies a belief that the term is somehow derogatory. Otherwise,
what difference could it make? In any event, suggesting or implying that the
term African American is derogatory is in fact revealing regardless of what
you might want to think. I see it as complimentary, BTW, FWIW, and meant it
as a compliment in the post; in contrast with the 5some, towards whom I was
derogatory and *THUSLY* did not identify in any sort of
ethnic/gender/religious/personal (other than golfwise) sense.
Again, you attacked me for nothing. Slow day I suppose. You have to expect me
to defend myself, as you have to know by now that I am more than game for it.

As a matter of fact, there were two posts before mine that took issue
with your usage. I didn't start it, but you weren't interested in
replying to them as much as to me.

I never said that it was derogatory, in fact, I don't believe for a
second that you meant it so. It was just, as the other posters said,
unnecessary. They were just golfers and didn't need to be set apart.

You've always been game for it.

That's not true at all. They made their point and let it go. The usual style for
such things is point, counterpoint, rebuttal, move on...as you know. In fact, you
replied to replies made to my post! I see no problem in using ethnic adjectives
when describing people and you do. Other than that, there is no real meaning to
it. If you want to speculate though, I'm game!

But you didn't move on. I wasn't confronting you, until you started
in on my posts. Check it out, if you can sort by subject. Mike,
Bill and I were having a discussion and then you zeroed in on me. I
still agree with them that there was no reason to use any adjective in
describing the foursome. That's not speculating, just an honest
opinion. No one can keep you from using any terms that you want, but
anyone can disagree with you, and several did. Another thousand words
by either of us won't change that, so AFAIC continue on. By yourself.

The fact is, looking back on the thread, you responded to more of the posts than I
did. So you don't think I had "good reason" to refer to African Americans as such.
Fine. So move on, like everyone else has. This is my 16th post on this thread. You
have 20. I have responded to others like "Bill", "Fairway", "MnMikew" and "Dene". I
have responded to your attacks as well, which are numerous. And those aren't
speculations, those are facts. I note also the fact that Howard Brazee made the same
references, with no response from you. Hence my belief that your posting here is
trollish. All I did was describe some golf, and you attacked it, and ranted on for 20
posts on some meaningless point directed at attacking me personally; a fact that
speaks for itself. The other cogent fact is that I never do this to you.

People do that in speech everyday, and in everyway. Often people are
categorized in speech as it's seen as a way to tell the story. Knowing
Rob personally as I do, I certainly don't think there's the evil intent
that others are making it to be.

It's the geriatric american that I always have the most difficulty
with. That guy can hit the ball right down the middle every time.
Guys got game, and all the jokes he tells makes it worth the time. The
Italian American I'm not sure how he hits the ball cuz he's always
talking with his hands. It's either that, or swatting at bees, but
they're done here for the year.....

Hell, at my age all of my playing partners are geriatric...at least
over 55.
We played four times in the last 7 days, but next week looks like a
no-go. Here's hoping that January will be as good as December has
been.

Exactly, the people that criticized you have to think long and hard
why they wouldn't have criticized you if you said "four female golfers"
(would they have said your a sexist, no) or "four elderly golfers"
(would they have said you an ageist, no) or even "four Japanese
golfers" (would they have said you a racist,no).

I agree with you. No doubt the world would be a lot better off if we all thought
that way. However it just isn't that way. IF we want to get along we have to
respect people for who they want to be, ande not insist that they somehow have to
be something we want them to be. What gets me about the criticism of my words is
the unspoken assumption that I am somehow stigmatizing people by referring to them
as African American.I see no such stigmatization, and really cannot imagine how
anyone would see it that way, and more than it would to refer to a woman as a
woman or a kid as a kid.

My only beef with Rob's comment is the use of the word,
African-American. What a pile of crap that designation is. Were these
fellas born in Africa? Doubtful. Sure there ancestors were, over 150
years ago, but that's irrelevent. Same is true for my ancestry. My
gggrandfather came over from Germany in the 1840's. Does that make me
a German-American. Hell no.
They were black. I'm white. America consists of people of various
races. Big deal.

I'm playing on Saturday with a group of Geriatric Americans. They may
also be a member of the Italian Americans, but I do believe that at
least one of them is an African American. One is a used car dealer,
therefore must be a scum-of-the-earth American. In this world of PC
(the world is dying) every group gets tagged. It's rather amusing to
me when people jump on you (specifically Rob) for typing what many use
in day to day speech. A life must be gotten, stepping away from the
keyboard every now and then is a positive step.

It's rather amusing to me when someone refuses to see what actually
takes place. I don't recall anyone of the several that made comment
on this having "jumped" on Rob. We all made the statement that an
adjective was needless, and that ain't "jujmping" on anyonr. That has
been said many times now, but you keep, purposely I guess, missing it.
As far as getting a life, I guess keeping this thread going with
nonsense such as above worth your time.

Robert, this is really an all-American quarrel and I should not take
part in it; there are very few coloured people in my country and their
presence is no issue at all - with one exception: a slender negro, I
don=B4t know where he came from, who keeps on raping 13-14 years girls.
I think he should be deported. On the other hand race is a volatile
issue in the States as everyone can see. What I reacted to in your
opening letter was the term "African American" - it truly is a
contrived and hilarious combination of words as someone has already
pointed out in this thread. Why not blacks, negroes, coloured people?
Anyway, this thread was quite funny in the beginning but privat
vendettas and personal hatred have spoiled the fun. A Christmas (or is
it forbidden to use the word Christmas in the US? Is Holiday the PC?)

That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,

Well said Rob. Speaks loudly about his life. We're roughly the same
age. Can you imagine spending your retirement years, nitpicking others
on usenet.
I truly pity him and his existence.
Enjoy your global warming. Mid 30's and raining here. I'm sick of

This proves what an ignorant ass for referring to Rob as "stupid."
Anytime I'm expecting you to say some denigrating comments about his
degrees, just like the mealy-mouth stunt you pulled with Eric, who for
the record has multiple degrees and more important, is a much saner,
ster, kinder person than you've ever been or will be.

Really? Tell me all about Mississippi, Mr. Knight. 40% of the people
who live in the area I live are African American...whoops, there I go
again with that......bet you wouldn't be caught dead in such a
community, eh? How many African Americans golf at your country club?
Whoops, there I go again...if we can say the African American community
doesn't exist then we can say it doesn't matter...and that's the thing
for you, isn't it? How to live a racially segregated Cacasian life but
not be forced to see yourself as living such a life! Who serves your
meals in the grill at your country club...and who do you play golf
with? Who lives in the house next door vs who collects your trash?
These are the telling things. Maybe I am wrong about you here, but I
strongly suspet not. Same for Mr. Minnesota.

We have several members of color in our club, one of whom is a
regular member of our group. As a matter of fact, there are none
employed as servants or otherwise...except for several latinos that
are workers on the golf course.
I also am well aware of the forward strides that areas in the south
have made towards community integration. That doesn't make a whit of
difference when you decided to describe a group because of their
ethnicity.
What difference did it make that those golfers were
African -American? Obviously there was some to you, because you made
reference to it. Yep, you're wrong about me, and I would assume
about Mike too.

A good point, wehat difference does it make if they were African American,
and why would it matter if I say so. If I were on a golf course where
everyone were African American and I was the only Caucasian, I would in no
way be upset if you referred to me as Causian, or white, or Anglo, or
whatever. What difference does it make...unless you think I am applying some
sort of undersirable label to people by referring to them as say African
American.....cool thing here is that you and Levac are on the same side
here...and I'm on the other side! If I ran into a group of Cajuns, and said
so, you think David Laville would take offense? You are aware, I hope, that
it is not you or I who choose to refer to people as Cajuns or African
Americans; it is the people themselves. The only issue I see for myself is:
do I respect that?

You just don't get it. You mentioned that you weren't casting a
stigma on the group. I agree. There is no way, Rob, that I think
that you're a racist. Prejudiced? Maybe. The only stigma is yours,
that you chose to separate that group from the rest of the golfers on
the course. They were four golfers. Period.

So what ever happened to the great melting pot called America? Why does

OK. Fine. I'm wrong. Now you need to go to say Jackson State University and
tell them they need to not identify themselves as African American. Same for
Alcorn State, Mississippi Valley State and Tougaloo College. It clashes with
your view of the great melting pot. I suspect they might say: Great! You've
seen the light...so when are you going to become like us and dispose of those
Euro Caucasian traditions!!
Some will say they don't want us to blend in with them. They want the country
partitioned, with a large section of the southeast given over to African
American rule and the rest of the country paying substantial reparations, and
there is a lot more support for this in the African American community than you
might think. How do I know this? They have the question the passerby polls on
this every once in a while on the news, and it was an eye opener to me to see
how many people support the idea.

I see lots and lots of people who don't want blending. For instance,
those who don't want the country to become more Hispanic. Blending

Knight is just another trolling phoney progressive looking to justify
his progressive credentials through the running down of others.
The fact is that there are a group of poeple in the US who choose to
call themselves "African Americans". If you or Mr. Knight have a
problem with that, it's your/his problem, not mine. I can respect it,
and will continue to respect African Americans, and recognize their
culture and traditions despite the attempts of people like you to
homogenize everyone into one single flavor of person.
We live in a socially, culturally and politically diverse society
because the people who live in this society choose to be so, regardless
of what neofascist liberal progressives want. African Americans,
Hispanic Americans (be they Cuban Americans or Mexican Americans),
Native Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, ....... aren't
going to sell out their cultural tradtions for your sake, that's for
sure. Because they are all Americans in the fullest and most equal of
senses, they all have the right to honor whatever cultural tradtions
they want, and I will try my best to recognize, honor and respect the
cultural tradtions of all such groups as best I can because, I suppose,
I am simply more progressive in this area than your typical neofascist
liberal progressive....something I get, in part, from living in a
culturally diverse place like Mississippi.

You mean that observing that you needlessly designated a group by

If you skip a hole or two you aren't supposed to take ESC for the holes you
miss, you are supposed to take the score you "most likely would have had".
Otherwise the easiest way to sandbag would be to just skip a few holes
every time you play -- and it wouldn't even be cheating!

This is not quite correct. If a hole is not played, or not played
according to the rules of golf, then for handicap purposes you take par
plus any handicap strokes that you're allowed for that hole. If a hole
is started but not finished (or if you are conceded a stroke) you score
the strokes actually taken plus the most likely number of strokes it
would have taken you to finish. This is defined, not completely
helpfully, as the number of strokes you would need to finish the hole
from that position more than 50% of the time. In this case, you can't
take more than your allowed ESC limit.

You are right! Another dumb new rule from the #1, well make that #2, who can
beat the UN for this sort of thing!, organization for making dumb rules!More
vanity cappers worrying about people who don't roll the ball and actually putt
out though, IMHO. What a rtidiculous format for scoring unplayed holes!
I guess I don't see how missing holoes would affect your handicap. All this can
do is lower your handicap artificailly because you can't take more than ESC for
a hole, so you really really doesn't let calculate your anticipated score. It
won't make any real difference though. The USGA can't make up for the fact that
the whiners who inspired this rule rol lthe ball, don't putt out and never give
themselves worse than a bogey for a hole. Realo sandbaggers will still just use
the pencil creatively, or, if someone else is counting score, make interesting
scores often enopugh to "maintain" their handicap...as they have always done!

The ole troll from the phoney social progressive. Maybe you can tell
African Americans that their identity as such should not be acknowldged
for the sake of your cheesy egalitarianism. While people aren't equal
or unequal because of minor polymorphisms that we may use or not for
self identity. However we do use them as for self identity, and it's
not really up to me how we use them. If you have a problem with how
other people choose to be identified, that's your problem. I just
follow to basic societal ethic on the issue.

Great use of sesquipedalianism to avoid the obvious. There absolutely
no reason to identify them as anything but golfers. There must be a
reason that you opted to do otherwise. Mississippi getting in your

Bill-o's question is a kind way of revealing the Knipper's two faced
troll. His fellow Texan has posted many disparaging reks about
women and disabled people, with absolute silence from the Knipper. Yet
when Rob makes mention of black people on the course, using a PC term
for it, the Knipper is all over it.
Reasons are obvious. He wants Tex's favor whereas with Rob, he
doesn't. This has nothing to do with race.

I'm glad you said it, because it was the first thing that came to my
mind when I saw someone objecting to my post...other than the obvious
fact that the response to my OP was a contrived troll. The African
American guys were the real golfers out there. They represented the
traditions of the game. They let the faster groups play thorugh
immediately, and it meant nothing to them. The good ole boy regulars
did not, as usual, and it meant something to them; they knew the kid
was there and choose not to let him through, depsite knowing full well
that it violated a basic traditional courtesy in golf.
IMHO, the people who objected to my making of a distinction are
objecting to the distinction because of the associated behavior....AND
the people making the objection are in fact white and associate or
sympathize with "the guys" where they play, who are also all white, and
thus feel the sting a bit with the suggestion that African American
golfers better represent the traditions of the game then they do.

If all we ever did was qualify things as needed, it would be a boring
world. You have your views on these things and I have mine I suppose.
The argument of predjudice could easily be reversed, for the issue of
why you care how someone else describes the world around him is
obviously there. It is you making an issue of the use of the phrase
"African American", not me. I see it as a perfectly legitimate
adjective to use to describe people. No more sinister that referring to
another group as "seniors".
What is obvious is the problem in your mind with respect to the issue.
You have some demon, not me. The phrase is commonly and widely used in
all facets of our culture.

Who said anything about being racist? There's a big difference in
allowing yourself to be aware of color and being racist. Big stretch
Mike, and not up to your usual reasoning.
Now, do you have an explanation as to why one's nationality, or
color, would have been important in this instance, or are you just

So just what is you explanation for "Mississippi getting into your blood"?
You seem to be implying that being in MS somehow make you more "color aware"
Talk about stirring shit.
As I stated, what Rob said was dumb. A simple "a foursome waved me through
right away" would have have been enough.

I wouldn't deign to say that this exists in Minnesota, but having
grown up in the deep south, and now living in Texas, I can tell you
that this effect can be exercised on some. When one is constantly
around rednecks that thinking can rub off. Sad, but true, but how
would you know?

Els and Immelman are South African. They are not American in any sense.
I guess one could apply the same rhetoric to kids, women, seniors,
whatever...just ran into a 4some...but the world doesn't work that way.
Some people think nationality is an issue, like it means anything to
distinguish between British and French, or even Welsh and
English...which are meaningless to me.

In whole truth, Scott's referring to you calling Rob "stupid."
Previously the thread was a civil difference of opinion from various
folks, including me, in that I chided Rob for the use of the word,
"African-American" instead of "black." The thread devolved when you
started insulting Professor Hamilton's intelligence, just like you did
in the "dog" thread. I chose to bloody the bully's nose, in defense of
my friend. I will not hesitate to do it again.
Gone for a while. Kids and assorted relatives are gathering. I just
got the Christmas lights up. "Food" is everywhere.
Merry Christmas to all, especially you, Bobby Knight.

Disagree. There is nobody meaner, more spiteful, than your trolling

True. But if more people stood up your pruneface, prickly pal, then
RSG would have more regulars, from all walks of life, not just those
whom he or his C-list likes.

There is no perception about the little Knipper's unprovoked attacks
toward me and others. You're aware of his posting record as much as I
am.

I've turned the cheek plenty of times. However, like Christ, there is
a time to be confrontive. I'm going to be in his face everytime he
attacks or trolls.

I've sunk to his depth, meaning that I fight fire with fire. Review
your hero's posting behavior toward me since my return in August. Show
me a post that isn't full of venom.
The bottom line is this. He wants to be nice, fine. He wants to knip
at me or the people I care about, then I'm calling him out.
You want to defend him, fine....your choice. He needs all the help he

Of course, this story is your story, not just with Bobby, but with
everybody with whom you ever get cross in this group. You perceive
that you have been slighted and you go straight to the gutter, issuing
personal insults about life outside of Usenet that are really beyond
the pale. You call yourself a Christian, but Jesus taught grace, to
turn the other cheek, not to let pride drive your treatment of others
into the sewer.
It's the holiday season. How 'bout we all just turn the other cheek
and drop it for awhile? We don't have to get along but we at least
can carry ourselves well, at least through the season.

I don't think there is a mystery to it. Like you, I've known the guy
in here and privately. He's bitter about life, namely that he doesn't
have one anymore. Consequently, he takes it out on others who find
themselves in his crosshairs, namely newbies and those who don't fight
back.
He's one to be pitied, and when necessary, revealed.

Ps. I commend you for exposing him further within this thread.

...and the altar, and his last employment. I'd be quite surprised if
any of his children from the various riages speak to him.
As for money, a person who has that many divorces, is unlikely to be
loaded. More likely, he ried into it.
Regardless of his bank account, he's a useless, usenet manipulative
ass.

Amazing the vocabulary of the followers. What a funny thing. Got to
get my rest to play with the geriatric American tomorrow. Just found
out that there will also be an african/geriatric american playing with

I guess BK is worn out at 22 posts for this thread: time now for the
second stringer! You ain't in his class though. Luckily for you the
game is over on this one, so you probably won't get injured too badly!
Fact is it's a mystery to me as well as to why a guy like BK would
waste his time with it. I'd be spending far too much time laughing all
thge way to the bank to worry about what people like me thought of
anything!

You are a bold face liar, Knipper. You read all my posts. It just so
happens this one got under your thin skin. Cut the BS about your
supposed kill-files and multiple computers. People aren't stupid.
Once again you attempt to divert the subject about a tournament I
haven't attended, by choice, since May, 2003. It's December, 2006.
Get it?
Once again you try to get Rob to bite with a trolling comment a club
you claim he can't hit, referring to a post he made years ago. Anybody
see a pattern here?
You're so transparent.
Genetic biology and botany are apples and oranges. Your knip-picking
trolls and bitter Bob intolerant postings are authentic testimony of
your character and to the relevance of your current existence. No
doubt a factors to your multiple riages....and failures, like your
last employment.
But do tell the audience an answer to this question, o enlightened
social progressive. Why do you drive 60+ miles to play at your
exclusive country club, bypassing public and private courses on the
way. Aren't these courses..these people....these minorities, not good
enough for you?
-Greg
Ps. Strauss doesn't post here. It appears Dullecki just returned,
hopefully to apologize to Annika for calling him a theif. Newell
rarely posts. Unfortunately, you haven't joined them in their exodus.
Any other dimented accusations?

Hmmmmm. All that needed to be said was that a foursome let him
through. In relation to his post, anything else is superflous, and
unnecessary. Obviously you don't get it either. Several here have

Aren't you picking pepper out of fly sh*t Bobby? As someone who has golfed
regularly in MS on public courses the little addition meant something to me.
I generally found the black golfers to be more courteous of others on the
course whereas many of the inconsiderate slowsomes on the course were whites
playing in 5 somes.

I'll say to you what I said to Rob. Discuss this with the others who
have the same opinion, and said it before I did. You're just pissed
because I called your friend on tying up his dog to a bumper. :-)
