Absolutely, but a man should be judged on more than the actions that
happen to make it onto television. The view of television is biased and
covers only a very small slice of someone's life.

Of course, Tiger would have said the same thing, so how do we know
you're not lying?

That you think that is the problem.

Alan... at the top of your message, it indicates you're partially
responding to something I posted. There is nothing else in your
message even closely associated with anything I said.

Careless editing like that has often set off some of those arguments
on this Group that NOBODY ever wins. Unfortunately, "no editing" is
even more prevalent.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your objection.

The fact that you really think you're gaining much insight into Tiger
Woods' character is the problem. You're getting a tiny, much distorted
(through the glass of a scandal-hungry media) slice and you think that
you know something about Tiger Woods.
