TEPaul & Tim Weiman,
Before I posted on this site, I lurked.
Go back and read the posts about Fazio and Rees before I came aboard and tell me that there was no bias.
People were being critical of golf courses that they had NEVER played, NEVER even seen, such as Shadow Creek, and noone defended them, or pointed out the absurdity of criticizing a course WITHOUT seeing it, until I stepped forward.
It took Tom Doak to chime in and say that evaluation without first hand experience was without much substance.
And I know you don't want to quote Charles Blair Macdonald and page 295, who said the same thing.
When someone posted, that, "Rees Jones's courses don't make you think", NOT one of you guys objected to the absurdity of that statement, and therein lies the bias.
Your contention, that bias has never existed on this site,
with only people like myself saying bias existed,
is either a measure of naivete or denial.
You can keep repeating, "there is no bias" as much as you like, it's not going to eradicate "the reality".
By the way, I too have my biases. It's okay to admit to it TE.
