Pat Craig, everyone has told you to back off. We're tired of your negativity. Remember Ran's post?
1) Before typing, decide if you are adding to the study of golf course architecture. If not, pause until you are, as this is a golf architecture web site. Sexy here are things like Little Aston, De Pan and Yeamans Hall.
2) While typing, take the time to explain fully the point or points that you intend to make. It is hard to imagine how blurting out incomplete sentences adds much value, either to your life or to those who have to wade past the morass to find the good stuff.
3) Before hitting the Post button consider the tone of your post. Does it encourage others to participate or is its purpose to prove that you are the World’s Smartest Man (the title of World’s Most Interesting Man is already taken)? If you are discussing a subject matter you are likely fine. If you are addressing the perceived ignorance of another human being then you are likely less fine.
4) Before typing your twelfth post of the thread and RESORTING TO ALL CAPS TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THAT YOU MEAN BUSINESS, think of your loved ones and consider why you are embarrassing them by starting to rant like a lunatic in a widely read forum.
Everyone can be a critic – that is easy. Being accurate and offering insight are the real challenges. Yet you come every thread of mine just to be obnoxious.
You have been told time and again that Ran himself said to me that he not only has no problem with my doing it this, way, but that's the way he wants it. I have been following his specific instructions, and many other posters have told you to cool it, yet like the little puppy that never got housebroken, you continue to piddle childishly...all because I said something you didn't like about Hazeltine. You exposed yourself as having a despicable agenda, and are a textbook example of the trouble-maker on GCA.com...a spoiled kid who uses it as Golf Club Access.
One of these days, kid, you'll have to grow up.
