I understand now, the level of sympathy that can be displayed is dependent on a persons underlying character flaws. If a person doesn't pass the character flaw test and you still show concern or sympathy for them you will be deemed a fanboy. It's nice to have guidelines going forward.

Go back and read my posts. I said nothing about sympathy, or lack thereof. But much like others here you see want you want to see. Besides, people in the public eye are held to a different standard than regular people. If you say it's not fair, then so is the amount of money they get for being famous. First responders put their lives on the line every day and make a mere pittance compared to some dude who can hit a little white ball straight.

And you would do well to follow my guidelines instead of whatever misguided path you're on.

Of course you didn't mention sympathy or concern. You have none.



Who's talking about people being held to standards? I and most people have sympathy and concern for fellow humans going through traumatic events in their lives.

You're a piece of work, you know that? You don't know me so quit judging. And no sense discussing anything with you because you either can't read well or can't comprehend English. Have a nice life.

Speaking for myself...I have no sympathy for any multi-millionaire who is living through the concequences of his own decisions. My sympathy is reserved for the poor people, who can't afford to rectify all the bad choices that they might have made in life. I figure that Tiger can manage just fine without any sympathy from me.

I understand your perspective. I personally don't have the ability to turn my emotions on or off based on a person's financial standing.

Yes...I've been fortunate in that regard. I've always been able to ignore the self-induced plight of the rich, without experiencing any emotional turmoil of my own.

Yeah...sorta hard to experience emotional turmoil when life's so sad and miserable.

If Tiger was a lefty and I don’t mean southpaw you would have already had him convicted. But he isn’t. I’m surprised Antifa hasn’t been blamed yet. There’s still time though. FORE

Wait...what?

Shouldn't they want him convicted because he's black? After all, they're all racists, right?

Ooops...there goes your Neanderthal liberal logic again...out the window.

Thank me very much.

Hey Genius ( sarcasm) unlike most here. i think for myself. I am liberal on some issues. Others I'm not. I don't walk the left or right line when both parties suck. Idiocracy. I see it everyday. It's sad. Left and right. Which you have fallen into. I know your opinion when your idol Cucker Tarlson gives it to you. Was it fair for me to think I know the opinions of others here and some racists exist here? Probably not. I've read peoples posts, ideas and no one here changes. I've been a member here many years but rarely post anymore. You were pissed at a post I made that was sexual in nature and I thought funny. You didn't. Fine it's your website. If anyone was offended I truly apologize. Ever since that post I have to sign in now instead of just log on. That kind of upset me and is why i rarely post anymore. I usually check in when something big happens and people still post the same thing. There are a few posters I genuinely like though. Sadly though most people stay in their lanes. If they played poker like they post, i'd be rich. Easy to read. They never think out their boxes.

It seems you only want like thinking people here. So how about this. If you want me here let me post without signing in. If you want me barred. Bar me. I sleep great either way. I hope you and Tucker live long and prosper. Have a great day. MC

Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about the signing in thing.

If you don't want to have to sign in, make sure you check the "remember me" box.

That's the only function on here that controls whether you have to sign in every time or not.

PM me whatever "symptoms" you think might be contributing to your problem and I'd be happy to troubleshoot.

Other than that, I can honestly tell you the God's honest truth that I know of no way to "make people sign in every time."

Why would that even exist?

Oh, also if you're using an "Incognito" tab of a browser, you would also have to sign in every time, because Incognito pages don't use cookies.

Also, if you're somehow blocking cookies on this site, this would also force you to sign in every time.

What's the difference between logging in and signing in? I have to login to post, always have.
