    Just wondering why these posts sound more like CNN than helping someone with game.

    We are now on gun control, saving the whale, and people bashing other countries. And I see some guys know something about every topic in here.

    Just wonder if they have no other outlet for there views. I come here to play golf with friends not read latest news from around the world.

    Wish all the best,

    Imagine playing a round of real golf with a person like that.

    If you want tips on how to play the game, I would suggest the Game Tips or Community Help section.

    This aint Bashing, this is a Heated Debate.  I doubt very much if it will be the last.

    Ah, the volume about the manatees and the teddy bears, yes, that was fascinating.

    How to catch a haggis ,

    since it has three legs - two long and one short - the best way is to chase it anti-clockwise around a hill so eventually it will topple over and then you just pick it up .

    Or you could get charle to shoot it .

    What part of "Current Events don't you understand?

    Current Events -(Discuss the latest news in golf)

    Maybe you should read the whole of the topic rather than the top line

    " As taken from WGT terms"

    Posting Etiquette

    WORLD GOLF TOUR (WGT) asks that you respect our on-line community and other individuals. When posting Submissions to or otherwise using the Site and/or the services, you agree not to:

    • Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.
    • Use racially, ethnically, vulgar, sexually explicit, hateful, or otherwise offensive language or images.
    • Flame-bait, engage in flame wars, or otherwise attempt to provoke a reaction.

    What part of the above terms as set out by WGT do YOU and others not understand

    Trashing a country I do believe would,  or could have been construed to "provoke a reaction"  It certainly provoked me when mine was. Like most people that have pride in their homeland I was offended to witness such behaviour. It shows a lack of respect and also a lack of control by the site itself

    Maybe you haven't noticed how many "current events" have been taken off-topic and resulted in a religious or political derailing from an otherwise innocent post by its' originator.  Many, many times you will notice the trait of flame-baiting to cause the thread to crash.

    Unfortunately, some are allowed to proceed without recourse, and these "potentially dangerous" flame-baiters/trolls" should be brought to task and forced to adhere to the terms as set out by the site owners.
