If you believe that I was deliberately trying to bait you then your sensitivity threshold to perceived insults is very low. I deliberately used the word "Homer" instead of the word "he" in deference to your recently stated sensitivity re: disrespecting Homer Kelley.

You created this "Golf by Jeff" forum independently and without consulting me regarding the purpose of the forum, and without consulting me regarding the rules that would pertain. I simply discovered the forum in existence one day and I have posted my opinions in this forum using my own personal standards of decorous behaviour. I have openly stated that I would, as moderator of this forum, host an open forum where any LBG forum member could openly and freely post his opinions without any fear of censorship. I stated that I would only censor posts that were overt ad hominem attacks that had no informative content regarding a TGM issue. I have adhered to that standard and I have only censored two posts.

I have maintained a high level of decorous behaviour and I have not attacked any forum member for disagreeing with me and for expressing a contrary point of view. I have even "turned the other cheek" when being subjected to demeaning/belittling posts and I have not retaliated in kind.

However, I cannot operate comfortably in a forum where the officiating umpire has his own set of arbitrary and capricious rules pertaining to perceived insults. This is your website and your forum and you are free to shut it down at any time. As you stated "it only takes a click of a mouse".

It's your choice, but I will not participate in this forum under such strict censorship rules.

Jeff.
