Tom MacWood,
I remember the site, pre Mucci, when people, some of whom you probably know, would post under false names, attacking architects and individuals for their work and/or opinions.
People who didn't have the balls to identify themselves, yet rendered mean spirited diatribes.
I remember pre-Mucci when feeding frenzies occured, wilding is probably a better term, when one moron even said that Rees Jones courses don't make you think, and noone objected or found that statement ridiculous, because noone had the objectivity to defend Rees on that issue other than myself.
I remember the personal attacks without one IOTA of FACT to support them, and you were as guilty as anyone else.
Do we want to go back to Atlantic, Do we want to go back to your attacking me regarding Jews at GCGC ?
Even on this post, the implied theme is that the membership of NGLA are a bunch of idiots, and are about to wreck their golf course with Rees's assistance, yet NOT ONE FACT has been put forth to support that position. But, the seed is planted. Who drinks first from the rumored poisoned well ?
I remember the attacks on FAZIO and MERION some anonymous, some identifiable, by people who hadn't even played the golf course, post work.
If anything, I've brought a measure of accountability to this site, and inserted a measure of fairness, which didn't exist when I first tuned in.
I'm not going to apologize because I don't agree with the self anointed idols on this site.
If my facts are wrong, correct me, specifically.
If my principles or theories are wrong, correct me, specifically
But, don't whine like an old washerwoman and tell me that I've tainted the site, when you're stumped by a question or asked to provide supporting facts.
Instead of trying to constantly do battle with me, to constantly take issue with me, to constantly try to show me up, do something smart, if you can, if you don't have the facts, or don't know what you're talking about, stay out of the fray.
