Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

"Keep Up" was not about expressing adoration for Keep Up Boy. It was about express displeasure for another man.ne1410s wrote:But, God forfend, a woman wear a tshirt that says "Keep Up!" to show her adoration. There must be two sets of rules.A man publically adores his wife and is not afraid to let the whole world know it -
Same set of rules.

Say more about that. What do you see that I don't?ne1410s wrote:Of course it was. Two sets of rules."Keep Up" was not about expressing adoration for Keep Up Boy.
She said it was "a message to all you turtles out there." How can that be expressing adoration for Keep Up Boy when she said it was directed at the turtles?

You're not the boss of me....Say more about that.
Rory Sabbatini was the object of much public scorn from announcers and his fellow golfers. According to Tim Rosaforte, one of the Golf Channel's "experts", many of his fellow pros supported his stand against slow play--secretly. How gutless. This carries over to other professions and that is how we end up with clueless lawyers, teachers, doctors, and Indian chiefs. Their peers just look the other way. Ms. Sabbatini chose to stand by her man plus her tshirt spoke what many were thinking but were too lacking in intestinal fortitude to say.
You don't see it that way. I do. Ask professional golfers what their two biggest gripes are and you will hear: Pro-ams and slow play. Pretty much in that order.
Do not bite me...I bruise easily.

I am not gonna bite you, nor am I gonna tell you to bite me.
There are distinctions I see that you don't. That is what I thought was true and your further explaination showed that.
I said she wasn't publically adoring her man - she wasn't - she was standing up for him, supporting his actions and not backing down. I have those things distinct from adoring him.
I can and do stand up for people, support what they are doing and don't back down and there is no way I would say I adore them.
Then, there are people I adore who do something that I will not stand up for or support for doing it.
I still think he went about displaying his displeasure in the totally wrong way. I think it was unprofessional and hot-headish.

It was only considered "unprofessional", by some, because his peers allow slow play. I thought it was a great move and focused some attention on a real problem in golf--not just professional golf. When most were piling on Mr. Sabbatini, Ms. Sabbatini would have none of it. I thought then and now that her support for her husband was admirable and quite brave.I think it was unprofessional and hot-headish.
