I understand hjack's position. He values life and feels like Tripp did it on purpose because he continually hit at the bird. hjack also has no vested interest in Tripp Isenhour and will likely never meet him or even pass by and say "hello"
I also understand Lynn's position, but he is in a little different place being a PGA Tour instructor.....remember, the Tour is a chummy place and I'm sure it would get back to Tripp Isenhour if Lynn were on here bashing him to kingdom come. Nobody needs icy relations in the place where they work, especially in a situation where every one you meet is a potential client.
Not saying anyone has an "agenda" just pointing out that these two look at this situation a lot differently simply because of "logistics"
I started this thread and it got dumped on by PETA.
Now the UN is involved.
I'm doing my best to keep Code Pink out of here but MikeO is the poster boy.
I just want to know what to call a "Hawk" when it happens.

hjack demanded that Tripp Isenhour -- who, by the way, I have never met -- suffer a one-year career suspension and perform 1,000 hours of community service as punishment for his alledged crime. My rebutting post #9 labeled that penalty "a bit extreme" and explained why I felt that way.
Does anyone else -- 'on tour' or not -- think such extreme punishment is warranted?
I NEVER DEMANDED ANYTHING

I said my suggestion[/B] is no jail time......but off the tour for 1 year
and 1000 hours working with animal protection services.

altho i do believe your post would be accurate for most people......i will say this......I DON'T BELIEVE IT APPLIES TO LYNN................IF LYNN BELIEVED THAT THE ACT WAS DONE ON PURPOSE....(WHICH HE DOESN'T) EVEN IF HE HAD THE CHANCE HE WOULDN'T TEACH ANYONE WITH THAT MINDSET.........YES LYNN AND I DISAGREE...BUT HE IS AN HONORABLE MAN.....AND WE HAVE A SIMILAR VALUE SYSTEM...................

I stand corrected:
hjack merely "suggested" the aforementioned punishment.
Personally, I don't think he would have delivered that harsh a sentence as a judge. [But, you never know.] Nevertheless, words are weapons that can be used to inflame or diffuse situations. In my opinion, his words inflamed and mine diffused (or at least attempted a realistic perspective).
Nice try all 'round.
Meanwhile, a thread that started off as fun -- insensitive soul that I am -- no longer is.
For newbies in the world of Internet posting, using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is yelling.
We have a full complement of word emphasis tools here -- bold,italics and underline. Also, combinations thereof. Plus color. Even bold color. With or without sizing!Except in the most extreme circumstances (usually to satisfy a literary intent), please use them.
These techniques will avoid the simplistic -- and irksome -- ALL CAPS approach.
