GolfSpy Barbajo Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I don't know guys, it must be the heat... I know this happens in the best of families, but the tone seems to have taken a nasty, personal turn recently. We can't have this. As a forum, MyGolfSpy and its members are better than this. Name calling, disrespectful posts, condescending tone and "tattling" to the mods needs to stop. C'mon guys, this isn't Middle School and we're not a bunch of 13 year old girls. We can disagree and have spirited conversations, but let's do it like adults, shall we? We get enough of this nonsense out there in what's known as the 'real world.' We come here to get away from that and talk about the thing that unites us all, and that's golf. Let's remember why we come here. We don't have to like one another, but we do have to respect one another. And seriously, I'm tired of writing up warnings like a Hall Monitor.

silver & black Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You shouldn't have to write warnings at all. Let's just put it out there... if you f**k up and get out of line, just own up like a man. Say your apologies and lets just get on with it. It should be that simple/easy. Everyone f**ks up at some point. Man up, and own your s**t. I don't even want to get into "running to the mods" like a little b**ch. Handle it like a man. Jumping off my soap box.... never to be heard from again on this topic.

hckymeyer Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You beat me to it John, I was just coming in to write this exact post. I already have 2 small children at home and deal with tattling and fighting all day long. I don't need to have it spill over to the forums as well. We've been on a pretty good run until recently. I really don't know why these past few weeks have been such a problem but it needs to end now. This is MGS, we don't need the internet tough guys around here. Let's get back to being respectful and having conversations instead of name calling and tattling like 1st graders. /end rant Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

MaxEntropy Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I honestly can't believe adults actually tattled to you guys. Wow. It is a shame you guys had to write these. In general, this place has done a great job at self-policing, but the summer (testing opportunities?) has brought new blood that apparently feels like they have something to prove? I have no doubt it will shake out in time.

Shankster Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 🤚🻠guilty. Sorry everyone, I love it here and I got mixed up trying to defend something that I don't even remember the argument was. This place is truly my place to hang my hat, no one I know plays golf so you all are my post round 19th hole hang out. And sometimes you probably get a little more than you bargained for. Anyways, if I offended anyone I sincerely apologize. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommc23 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 But but dad I don't wanna stop! Sorry can't help myself but be a smarta$$. It's not hard to avoid heck I could make a career out of drama. I understand we're all adults and sometimes especially here on the internet being an adult it hard but come on the mods don't need to say this. People have been warned a few times, I've seen it, but the question is why can we not have discussions without getting butt hurt? Is it because everyone gets offended so easily or is it because its easier to b!tch and complain than just ignore it? I'd like to see more people walk away from their keyboards when they get mad or feel and tantrum coming it'll make the mods job easier and I'm sure this is the last thing they want to deal with.

Peaksy68 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Disappointing that this needed to be said, but some people really do need to work out the difference between opinion and opinionated.

revkev Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Is the 'ignore' feature for a member or a thread? Either! Also the PM can be handy - if I have a truly big issue with someone or think that we are talking past one another I have tried the PM route with great success. I've also received PMs from others who were concerned about me - not recently - but in the past. I've always appreciated it. Just remember that the PM is not an excuse to take it outside and dial it up - it's the place to try and dial heated conversations back. Sorry for any part I may have played in this - I've noticed it ratcheting up and while I believe I've remained civil I may have gone a post too far in a couple of threads.

It's an escape for me, and I truly feel like I have many good “friends†on here!

Kenny B Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I have found that it is easy in social media to be worse person than you really are, and difficult to be a better person. Overall, I have observed that MGS is the best, most friendly atmosphere for people sharing ideas and opinions on all of the social media sites that I have visited. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
