You call me a know it all, but the fact is that you are at least 2X the know it all that I am. This is by objective measure, not a show of hands, BTW. Looking at the google listing of the last 20 threads in RSG that have had a post made to them, you have posted to 11 and I have posted to 5, and I have been much more active than usual lately. The reality, as observed fact, is that you are the know it all. That's substance. Of course anyone can still just search your name and count the number of negative posts you make of your total. No need to take my word for anything...they can go right back to when you first started posting here and come forward to today, and the pattern remains the same. The only pomposity in me is that I don't buy your BS. When I did buy into your BS I wasn't pompous, according to you. You offer nothing of substance to this or any group, and your primary motivation in posting to newsgroups in general is to vent your hostility.

That taking my grandson to the par-3 course isn't good in golf? That learning to call rules on yourself isn't good in golf? No, I don't think anybody claimed that Tiger is "all that is good in golf". -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

He wanted that kind of credibility and respect. Throwing tantrums when you miss a shot doesn't fit with that, in the eyes of a lot of people. Has nothing to do with race, of course. |
