Time and time again I make it clear that it’s my opinion that I am voicing on this site, a DG site on the internet.
I have also stated time and again that I have no authority or legal standing in the R&A or any legal body so no way of changing any rules, so why are you so scared about my opinions or is it the tone in which you believe I submit my posts? I can’t tell people what to do, and anyway who would listen to me if I even tried. I am accused of mentioning family members on nearly every post that not true and easily proven by checking my posts.
I have no power, very little influence so just what is your problem. Is what I am say hitting some nerve or making you feel guilty, I have no idea but I know one thing that is if you are indeed a Judge Terry then God help anyone who does not agree with you – you sound like our old Judge Jefferies who condemn men to the gallows for nearly any reason.
I see a witch hunt here, worst still I see a nasty form of censorship falling upon this site. You and your Merry Men (Men in Black) trying to rule by verbal intimidation. Yet why are you scared of a little now isolated Scotsman, what is it really that frightens you a non-existent tone you feel you are detecting.
If Ran or all the others want me to leave I will willing do so, in fact if Jeff had not dragged me back by this topic I would have quietly left. Don’t believe me ask Mac, George and a few others. But I will not be driven out by bigots like you and Jeff. So thanks to this post I am staying to fight your type of nasty bullying censorship.
The silent majority can make a stand if they wish or keep quiet until you (Men in Black) decide to attack another Member.
Look in the mirror guys it’s you with the poisonous attitudes and opinions, it’s you guys who want me silenced and off this site. Who really are the bullies you lot or me.
As for golf, yes I play the traditional game, I keep faith by walking and thinking for myself, I play courses that offer a challenge as I believe Golf requires a commitment to play it in its honest form.
Do your worst Jeff, Terry and anyone else who would be happy to see me leave.

Melvyn,
You attack people all the time. You're a sham. You took what could have been a valuable resource, your family name, and squandered it on this DG, IMO. In person, you might be the nicest person alive, but on here you come off as a rambling lunatic. At least that's my opinion.
The funny part is that I agree golf is a game that should be walked. I also agree that range finders detract from the sport. But, when you use your family name to put muscle behind your opinions you better be able to back them up. You have been asked multiple times to answer the "featherie vs. guttie" issue about Old Tom and how you could be sure that he wasn't an avid supporter of making the sport easier via technology. You reply with "agree with me or not that's down to you and others". Is that a substantive answer that proves anything? So, you want to use Old Tom as a weapon to give weight to your opinion and then when questioned about Old Tom's actions and motives we are to assume that you just "know" what he would think based on the fact that you are his descendant? See how that doesn't really have weight?
I can tell you that I really don't care if you are the descendant of Old Tom Morris. I've been to St. Andrews and Scotland three times. I love it. I have played the Old Course nine times. I have had my picture taken at the Young Tom grave site. I have worked for the R&A at the Open Championship at St. Andrews. I have a deep appreciation for the history and roots of the sport. I guess that is why I have such a problem with what I perceive to be a total injustice to your forefathers good name.
I am certainly not bigoted and not a bully. I haven't been active here for quite a while. I am not trying to censor you. Speak your mind. Please! I, for one, just refuse to sit back and watch YOU bully others with your family name.
