The amount of crap and crap moderating on here now its no surprise that people are leaving in droves. Bob and Smithy, both part of the old hardcore are reduced to bystanders now.

You can't have a bit of banter or humour anymore without some tit complaining about something or trolling the whole thread.
 
Agree with you there Craw. This forum should be about golf lovers sharing stories and giving and receiving advice, not about abusing people, or discriminating them because they have a higher handicap than you.
 
Bob as we know is a PGA teaching professional, therefore an expert in his field.
He knows more about this game than almost everybody on this forum.

I think he has got cheesed off by certain people always questioning the FREE help and advice he willingly gives out.

I fully understand the concept of banter, but the continual sniping is very wearing

When/if Uncle Bob comes back, some of us need to keep our thoughts to ourselves

do you think with the current trend for the backlash over forums and other social media the powers that be are running scared,i have been called a racist by the mediator about a joke i posted but heard a comic on tv tell an almost identical joke to fits of laughter,BOB is one of the old guard and his contributions are funny and informative and best of all the guy can take a joke,but we do seem to have some that cant see the sarcastic views posted and get very uptight,i have always looked upon this site as an extension of the clubhouse bar,we have banter about everything with golf being the only common denominator amongst us all,some disapprove of some subjects and some others but it wouldn't be the same forum if everyone agreed with everything.

Only the mods will know if they have been given special instruction. What we should do as users is treat each other with respect, when you know someone's face (even if through only one quick chat at a forum meet) banter is far easier to recognise.

What I am saying is banter yes, with those you know but those who you are not familiar with, treat with respect until you know them more. Everyone has at some time had some stick on here but when you know the gents well it brings a smile to your face. If I did not it probably would make you pretty irate!

So treat everyone with some respect, don't hold grudges too long and take a little banter with a pinch of salt (or sugar depending on your tastes).

There's a lot of truth in what you say. We now have to be ultra PC, and every jokey comment is twisted to be a racist comment or someone posts their objection, taking seriously, an obvious pee take or comedy piece. There is a place for factual discussion but personally I come one here for all types of postings and get fed up when the PC brigade start disecting the discussions, or maybe it is that they just dont "get it"

+1 Having different opinions is fine and this game has a wealth of coaches who will teach differently BUT it got to the point when he seemed to be questioned on anything he contributed which is sad. I miss him.

Fully agree. I read more than I post, but over the last couple of months, every thread that Bob had posted a view on he was picked apart by one member or another. No need for it. I hope Bob chooses to come back, the majority of us still value his opinion and guidance highly.

[banter] Try that humour thing sometime and we'll let you know if you get it right.

But if you feel you need to leave too, or withdraw to the sidelines, farewell! [/banter]
