My issue is with those that initiate the conversation at times. What is their motivation?

I have no desire to come on here after reading a positive article on McIlroy, paste it for everyone else to see, and then remind everyone that I'm a McIlroy fan. I'm sure I'd be politely, or not so politely, asked to shut up.

I don't see the point in spreading such random stories, although I guess his profile is so big in golf, it is inevitable. Many seem.obsessed about getting their daily dose of McIlroy clickbait. It seems it is usually the people (person) who dislikes McIlroy is the one obsessed with getting us talking about him.

Amen brother

It’s always the same few posters in here, LIV, Football threads etc posting the click bait articles against the same usual suspects. Whether it’s to create derision, shout hallelujah I’m so so’s biggest fan etc.

Let’s be honest people are weird!!! Hell we’re all in assuming grown ups hiding behind a keyboard talking about golf, we’re probably weird to

Guys, are we not mature enough to have a sensible and balanced conversation on the subject of Rory Mcilroy and whether he does himself, his peers, and the game of golf justice by constantly making contentious points - for the record he was trying to tell the world that Jon Rahm didn’t want to be in Hong Kong last week…

If he’s going to come out with statements like that, he’s going to invite scrutiny on himself.

Perhaps if the post is started in the manner you’ve done this one stating what the issue is and not with a click bait tweet and relatively immature comment then sensible debate would ensue.

People respond to what they see and if the initial comment is in a vein that isn’t opening sensible debate then what ensues is the tripe we’ve had.

Just my thoughts though

Rory McIlroy says it's a shame Jon Rahm has rejected a 'generous' European peace offering | FOX Sports

Rory McIlroy says the European deal for LIV Golf players is generous and it's a shame Jon Rahm doesn't feel the same way

Are you on about this from a week ago ?

And I’m not sure you’re capable of a balanced conversation when it comes to Rory McIlory

"Gotta say, I do wish Rory would be more of a diplomat at times."

That's what I said, with a link to the article.

What's the issue?

If you can’t see what then maybe you should reconsider your posts before you hit the save button. You post a tweet or a link with a single one line clickbait comment and can’t see why you get certain responses! You do the same with your Liv posts, it’s click bait trying to get a rise as you know it will from some corners.

I’ve nothing else to add as it’s quite boring going over the same ground with the same few.

Fair enough, I'll carry on being me though thanks.

Maybe it's time some posters got some thicker skin.

Never said you shouldn’t be yourself but maybe be aware

Who says people haven’t got a thick skin and it’s not you who doesn’t like the response you get. Like McIlroy being open to fair comment so are your posts

On that note I need to go wash my hair

Don’t worry another month and we can “debate” if Rory is a bottler

My money is on
Mel says Yes
Phil says No

Hardly worth betting on that mate you’d get evens at best on those odds.

I would take evens.
The real value is in how many times it goes back and forth (again).

He's already got the 'recurrence of the Bay Hill back' set up to bail him out if it isn't going to plan at ANGC...

And you just said you wanted a mature conversation about him

Taking side bets on who gets the last word in?

Is that a rhetorical question?
That’s like where does a circle start and end
