I'm Sick Of This Truncated Thread Title BS
« on: July 19, 2014, 09:41:14 AM »
I'm fairly confident that this thread will have a short shelf life, but so be it. This latest thread title of "Is" is, for me, the final straw.

It's insulting to all of us and makes us look like asses to visitors.

Write a cogent, pithy thread title and give us an idea of what you propose to discuss.

We were made to use our full names to identify ourselves. Good move.

Time for the next good move.

Sadly funny.  I was going to start another thread and title it "A", followed by "re you sick of these ridiculous thread titles"...

Ronald,

More than most of your recent posts are complaining about thread content. The "why is this a thread series". Mucci does discuss architecture, no matter how poorly.

Ron,

Didn't you recently title a thread "Adirondack six 2014". ?

Unlike your threads, mine are of substance without having to cater to form.

If you don't like the titles, don't read the threads.

I personally find it helpful as I avoid hard core architecture threads.

I get it collection bunkers are a cool feature!

I enjoy Patricks contributions on other peoples thread and with the new playoff system in place for college football I am looking forward to be educated in the 1000 ways that Notre dame got screwed in the new system !

I'm sure you could have come up with a better riposte to Ron's attempt at constructive criticism.   His report on playing six interesting and historic courses in the Adirondacks was quite interesting.

Bill,

You're a moron, Ron's objection was to non-descriptive titles that didn't inform him of the entire content of the thread, not the thread itself.
Try reading with some degree of comprehension.

Sorry, but it's difficult to comprehend a post like yours there that didn't make sense.

Back to our regular programming.   How about that finish by Rory?!

And what did I tell everyone, prior to the Masters, about Rory's ability to win when he was with his high profile, high maintenance girlfriend ?

Kindly don't use this thread to throw insults.

It diverts your attention from the thread which just keeps on giving: the one about trolleys on American courses.  ;D

Next up, how much does it really cost to rent a dog at Sunningdale and do they really let you inhale the air there for free.  ;D

I think "moron" is actually a term of endearment in Mucci-ese.   ;D

Not a comment on the thread topic but Ron I always find comments like this, which I place in the "Has This Board Made a Difference?" Category, funny.

It's a chat board. Almost by definition we're asses.

Hey, should I not have capitalized "Category" there?

For every Mucci thread you don't post on, your life is extended by 15 minutes. For every personally attacking Mucci posting you don't reply to, you get about 30 extra minutes. So don't complain, it adds up to a good deal :)

I've just realized that if I get to play Painswick and have Pat call me a "moron" I'll be able to do one of those Sally Fields
acceptance speeches.  I probably should have made this a separate thread with an enigmatic title.

Are you still using that putter that stands up by itself ?
