Actually, to indicate that it would require "bravery" to address some forum members "face to face" would indicate schoolboy behaviour. What you are saying is that the threat of physical retaliation as opposed to verbal would inhibit free speech. Also, quite ironic that you decide to express yourself in such condemning tones. Accusing others of being childish and lacking in maturity is a little insulting, don't you think?
Oh, yes, there was the argument to substantiate my opinion. Satisfactory?
No, I do not agree that my comments were insulting, hurtful or immature. I have no intention of insulting anyone. Nor do I attack anyone 'personally' in my comment. To be pedantic, the only way someone could consider my comment as being insulting was if they considered themselves to be immature and childish. Indeed, your own response is a perfectly mature comment that I happen to disagree with. You replied without a personal attack. All I am saying is there is a mature and an immature way of conducting oneself. That shows respect to someones own opinion without the need to question someones personality or intelligence, both of which the writer has generally no idea of.
Back to my original opening post, I believe when one has an understanding of someones culture, in this case Tiger, it does help to understand some of the ways they/he may do their/his business. In this case, taking time to appoint a new manager, potential future partners and saying what someone wants to hear in order not to upset them reflects their/his upbringing and culture. This may all mean something or nothing but I found the article insightful.
And, having read the article I also believe a bit of respect for others opinion on this forum without the need to 'name call' would not go amiss. After all the fact is, as supporters, we all want the same thing which is the very best for OUFC.
