It goes with the territory.

There are people on here that spend every waking hour on their keyboard just waiting for the moment that someone disagrees with their views and all hell breaks loose. I hate to see that but at the same time, i cant stand those that are blind to people that deliberately prey on a range of emotions using well tried and tested tools, it un nerves me.

Each and every avid poster on here sees themselves as later day Sigmund Freud's or know better than the next man, thats what attracts me to these sites. Whilst I care about people and their feelings, I have no time for people that cant accept critisism if they are dishing out much of the same. Its a game with gamers looking on and taking a serious look at whatever people say with malice at hand is just sad. I say it as I feel it and if I am wrong its because my stocking trade is golf not psycoanalising for profit.

I will admit to posting things that are designed to get a rise out of certain members but in general those comments are aimed at people that dish the dirt as well. Dont take what I say seriously but at the same time dont damm me for my views, it is a game and this is a game forum, not the 2nd meeting of the local apostle society.

I dont take things t oo seriously either, I guess I expected more from a mature man.. But hell, if being a joker keeps you young at heart, then go for it
