Thread starter idea: Has Jussi peaked? Or should it read did Jussi Peak? I agree with Golden Tuna that all this is not our business unless you are connected with Jussi personally. But that does not mean that we can't make fun of the situation even though I feel sorry for the people involved.

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?” Jane Austen Written almost 200 years ago and still true to this day.

I won't know what to think of this until Paul McBeth comments. I mean, he almost had me believing that Nikko going WWE on that official was all a big misunderstanding.

Sorry about that, too obvious of a comment on my part. Live and let live is my motto.

Now that took balls to do that!:p

Why, what did you do Nova? Do you happen to have Platebee? That would make you truly notorious to the old time board members.

I wish the whole thing did not happen. I'm trying to find a way to that place in my mind.

I don't know. I still have not heard a good reason why he had to travel thousands of miles to get a time violation, while performing in an international major no less. Not even a Nikko fan but it's hard to understand the decision to go ahead and do it there and then. Did the Europeans make an...

There's something I'm a little fuzzy on from this situation. To echo Nikko, WHY exactly did he get called then and there for time? Who got a bug up their butt to initiate the chain of events that led to what happened. Was he targeted for some reason and why? I'm still trying to figure out what...

I'm a little surprised by Paul's take. I was under the impression that Paul has worked very hard to raise the professionalism of the game. i.e. The way he dresses, the way he carries himself, his branding all seem high end. So why back something that was so obviously unprofessional? I'm a bit...

I wonder if we'll ever know the reasoning behind 9 months? Why not 12 or 6. Does it have to do with the class of the offense? Are there standards and formulae?

I'd hate to say the rules are subjective, because then they are not rules, just suggestions. You have to use some common sense. The rules are subjective in that they are subject to the vagaries of people observing any action by another person. The rules themselves are really just a framework to...

Examples of Gerunds As you read these examples of gerunds, notice the verbs they contain, and notice that every single one of them ends in ing. By the end of this quick lesson, you’ll have no problem recognizing gerunds when you see them. Swimming in the ocean has been Sharon’s passion...

Ya, this thread only exists because of the Nikko thread so it's classic trolling. It was meant to be annoying (people are annoyed all around the world so well done) and pointless but it does suggest rightly that the rules are selectively enforced.

I did not realize we were dealing with Red Wings fans here. That makes me re think my participation in this thread.
