Alan--there's nothing wrong with admitting you are reading my stuff. you might just learn something. I was just joking about the hurtful comments, I'm a big boy I'll be just fine. If you look at the majority of my early posts you will see that none of them were in the least bit contentious, they have I admit gotten a little more sour in tone and for that I apologize. I was suprised quite honestly by the anger and hostility that any critical or percieved negative comment about Michelle Wie ilicited. She is lucky to have such diehard supporters, but it only makes me more steadfast in my resolve to question her career path and place in the future of golf. I will try not to offend everybody quite so much in the future. Except for Brendan who is a punk b**ch.

Matt
I did a word count. I didn't read all of your comments.

Matt.
If you think calling someone priceless is hurtful you must be easily offended.
If you write contentious crap on a blog you have to expect some friendly backchat.
Don't you find it funny that everyone basically disagrees with you opinions? There is a definite pattern here.
Also you said that you had tired of blogging, why have you written another thousand words of rubbish today. Yesterday you gave us all hope.

Just on a funny note. While I was arguing with Shanks about the Creamer-Wie debate, I would then switch on my tv and cheer for Creamer in the next lpga tournament.

Also I was cheering for Pressel at the US Open, as soon as Wie was out of contention.

Matt,
I don't think me or Shanks will be going back to that argument, thank you very much.
The thing that is inconsistant in what you say though, is that you thought I was a lost cause then, but you've been blogging against stuff I say since then.
The second inconsistancy is that you seem not to like being insulted, yet you called me a wanker, before I said anything against you.

Like I just commented in another blog, Creamer won twice in Japan, and I give her, her due credit.
She has probably surpassed Wie's play at this stage and I think will be very much the clear number 2 player next season. I think Creamer will pull further away from Kerr in the money list, but not challenge Annika just yet.
Paula could win as many as 5 titles next season if it goes well, but more likely 3 or 4.

Let's see I have a beautiful, loving wife, wonderful kids, a great job, I am surrunded by family and friends, I have more money then I could ever spend and I travel and play golf all over the world. Your right Norman I am jealous of a 16 year old girl who has the weight of the world on her shoulders from maniacs like you who have annointed her the next Messiah of golf. I'm jealous of a little girl who has never been a normal day in her life. I'm jealous because I wish every move of mine was sructinized by the media, and the public. No, I'll take my life thank you very much. Sometimes Norman people do not agree with your viewpoints, I know that's hard for you to understand, but they do and it's not jealousy or lack of intelligence or whatever. It's because people are different. I respect the conviction of your thoughts and opinions, but I have never seen you say you were wrong or even acknowledge that your logic may be skewed. I am reminded of an argument you had with Shanks about who had the better year between Paula creamer and Michelle Wie in which because Michelle averaged a slightly higher average finish she had the better year even though Creamer won twice on tour and once in Japan and it was in that moment that I realized that you were a lost cause. You have since insulted me personally and my golf intellect, when anyone who has ever competed at any level of any sport would take the wins. There are really only two ways to settle this and the first I'm sure you would not agree to, the second is to...well there is no second so unless you want to give me your address I guess we will just have to slug it out here.

"Realistic Wie viewpoints" in Matt's language = "jealous rants"!

Alan---you say such hurtful things. I think it should be you who leaves this site, you are obviously uncomfortable with anyone who has the audacity to hold a different view/opinion then yourself. I have to listen to your inane Wie worship so you can listen to my realist Wie viewpoints.
