As for the being a professional think , that also is nonsense. Just because someone is in the public eye does not make them fair game for all the locos to rant and rave about them. Funny, but is so against the rules to pick on anyone posting on a PUBLIC discussion board, but it's okay for those posters to say derogatory remarks regarding someone they don't know. Double standard? Sure looks like it.
Actually, no. It's been stated many times that overly derogatory comments about the professional golfers we talk about will be edited. The Wie threads have been edited more frequently than any other threads, save possibly the political ones. The next step would be to shut them down completely, and we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?

imagine if just 1 Wie thread was allowed on the forum, how many pages would that have by now. im guessing atleast 1000 and growing by the hour.
as for this thread, this is an Evian Masters thread that has turned into a Wie thread.
EDIT - Laura Davies to win.
From the looks of your bio you are in your late 30's. Athletically how does your resume compare to Wie's. Some people critique as other people do.
Track and Field (200m and 4x100 relay) national junior olympics, 2 yrs semi pro baseball, class b national softball championships, and am about a 5 handicap. And Im not critiquing her ability, as I have said, she is an extremely talented young lady, my criticism is that until she proves she can win at this level, (which could very easily be today), she is still just another also ran. I completely agreee that her accomplishments to this point are phenomenal, not for just a 16yo, but for anyone.

Congrats to Karrie Webb! Wie played well but Webb was just little bit better. Glad to see Webb back to her old self when she was tearing up the LPGA. :)
Congrats to Karrie. I had a feeling she'd be tough to beat the way she was burning the edges yesterday. It appears that she is all the way back. Great showing by Laura Davies also. I think it's been awhile since she's been in that postion. Another "also ran" routine top 3 finish for Michelle. T-2, 1 back of a resurgent hall of famer, gee what a scrub. I shudder to think of the comments we'll see from the doubters when she actually has a poor tournament... say a 7th or 8th place.
