Fun Police

[USER1999]

Taking the mickey from who ever is fun, but it needs to be funny, and not personal. That post was getting personal.

So far the Mods have been doing fine in my view. Not 'fun police' at all.

Don't think it was Murph.
If I missed something "personal" please enlighten me.
But from where I was sitting it was gentle pee taking.
But one mans pee taking is one mans personal I guess

 

[USER1999]

Smiffy, your last line sums it up perfectly.

What was said in that thread was nothing in comparison to when Homer was hounding Mono.

The homergate thread was more ironic than offensive imo. x

 

[DCB]

Okay gents, it's done & dusted now. The thread has gone into dead thread heaven.

We've all had a laugh at things and either agreed or disagreed with what happened to the thread. We can't change anything now.

Now let's move and leave this in the past where it belongs.

Except when you or others ripped into Mono. That was OK was it ?

Complete hypocrites.

We're in "out of bounds" now though. Anything (within reason) goes.
The long and the short of it is, we're being told who we can and can't take the piss out of now.
That's all it was, a bit of mickey taking. But no, we're censored.
Out of order in my book

I totally agree with you Smiffy.

 

[Up_Point_1]

But no, we're censored.

We've been censored for questioning the integrity of a long standing, and apparently respected GM Forum member, despite the fact he was talking complete and utter cojones !!!!

 

[brendy]

Which part of this thread is censored?, the previous threads removed were done so as the tone they were setting was getting beyond a joke.

The matter has been dealt with, analysed, discussed and given a post mortem Quincy himself would have been proud of.

Let it go, none of us that are impartial really want to read any more of this as it is neither here nor there for us, we would rather see the forum return to its airy, free flowing, dignified form.
Those that persist in registering their unhapiness are doing nothing to help how they are being perceived by other members less interested in this subject. (banter at the start didnt take long to turn into sour, sarcastic and dour witted responses).
The source of some of these comments, I have to say surprised and disappointed me as they are usually mild mannered live and let live members.
You are either here to join in the chat and partake in all things golf or you need to find something else to amuse yourself and spend your time on.
I will not apologise if I am being blunt about this as nothing else seems to be getting through.
No more whinging or point scoring on this subject from either viewpoint, Take this post as the final straw on this subject, it ends here.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Will someone please rest the rest of us what's been going on!

We are reading the various threads and making wild assumptions as to what has happened we all know where that leads to …………

By the way where has Mono gone? He’s been exceedingly quite recently and I’m starting to think that there is a link between him and subject of this mystery

 

[clubchamp07]

Was thinking that myself. Come on mono show ur face and let us know your ok.

I think the guy in question here has shown to the forum for what he is. He's even lost his job with GM, and he's lost alot of faith that people showed in him on here.

Let this be it over

Summary of Homergate:

Homer starts numerous threads stating "the come back" and he hasn’t played in a number of weeks as per threads.

Someone checks the R&A at Royal Ascot scoring and Homer had played the weekend before his come back, twice.

Homer states someone has filled his card in by mistake, handed them both in and someone notices that homer over two rounds has been cut by 0.2 for the two rounds and adjusts his hcp on his sig.

It all gets personal and the witch hunt is in full flow.

Mods delete any thread on the matter to which creates mass panic and anger from the masses, they see it as a totalitarian forum and the pitch forks are sharpened.

Homer's integrity is questioned and GM sack or Homer leaves the forum pages that he has done a cracking job on.

The Mods struggle to regain control of the masses and Mono returns with warm words of support of Homer.

Thank you for the synopsis which is pretty accurate except

Only one card was used on the Saturday. The second round on the MOnday has been explained to me by the club but as no-one give a fig about truth or relevancy I'll leave it at that.

My handicap was erroneously increased back to 11.5 and then corrected down to the original 11.3. I managed a 0.2 cut on Sunday and now play off 11.1

I wasn't sacked but reached an agreement with MikeH regarding my position following the events over the weekend

I got slated for attacking Mono in the past and agree with those although I have been in touch privately (again people make assumptions) to offer my apologies (this was done long before last week!) and me and him are fine

Its regretable that people are willing to get way over-excited about something that has no real releavance to a golf forum or their own lives and then resort to schoolboy bullying to press home a point. Its over and what has been has been. I'm happy that my conscience is clear and despite the disappointment of not collating the pages intend to remain a full and active member of the forum.

 

[Chrimbo]

Thanks Parmo for clearing it up.

 

[Parmo]

Sorry Homer for the incorrections, I wasnt really paying attention to the threads as I didnt log on until Monday.

Homer,
If you ask your match and handicap at Ascot to correct the errors that still appear on the howdidido website then that would shut up your detractors. Until that is done you will remain unders suspicion of the heinous crime of 'playing golf when telling others you're at home recuperating'.

It would take no time and the information presented online by your club via howdidido should really be accurate anyways. I operate this software as a match and handicap and it is simple to correct this kind of stuff.

I'm sorry you feel victimised by all this. I haven't commented to date but think that doing the above would help.

I was kind of under the impression it had been sorted. I got a 0.2 cut on the weekend and my handicap is now 11.1 so assumed it had been reset to 11.3. I'm not sure if the administrator would bother going back to correct a list of a historical event (I can ask if it would appease the doubters) but as long as my handicap is correct surely that is the main thing

Parmo,

No apology needed I'm grateful for your summary of the events initially. However being guilty of crimes against the state (or GM forum as it was fomrerly known) I wanted to make sure the synopsis was factually correct

 

[minty18]

I got stick in the past for giving mono grief, rightly so imho. I dont know the full story with Homer as i wasnt on here through the weekend but i'm sure i would have joined in the ribbing if he had told a porky!

As with the Mono incidents I'm not sure why such a big thing has been made of it, if someone said something personal about me on here i think i'd just laugh and probly give some back, definitely wouldnt lose any sleep over it.

Yes and he knew that days ago, it's the first thing I would have done. Homer was at his club at the weekend I would have demanded the two rounds that he siad he never done removed. Homer has left the door open, wide, and he's still doing it.

There way too much bull going on here. On one hand we get it doesnt matter then we get the bully stuff. This sympathy card your now playing is pathetic.

Homer, drop it or sort it, then I will happily say sorry and you know that fine well.
