[Mathew]

Should I wait for you to edit your post two or three times more or can I comment it now ?

Actually the edit was accidental - I thought I was quoting myself in reference to something but was actually editing the post.

Listen, mate - I just done a very simple math to show you that the 50 yds distance that differs Hogan from Woods cannot in any case justify the difference in hitting fairways ability between the two.

Your maths is not your strong point and is flawed.

Basically you did this sum 300yards-250yards=50yards/15

You tell me what a 15th of the difference between their driving distance is meant to show. I can tell you for certain as someone who is semi-reasonable at maths that it doesn't show anything relating to the mathematical problem at hand.

It was done "on the knee" without trying to going deeper because I did not want to jack the thread more.

Really? - Then let me ask you, why did you take the time to write a post that was obviously just going to get lambasted and cause the thread to get jacked further.

If you regard my math as useless and my math ability as pathetic - I am fine with it and I can even gladly agree with it since I am not a mathematician and, if you noticed, was kindly asking for a correction from your part in case I was wrong.

Your complete analysis was hideous yes but it was the confidence within your ignorance that I took note with. A tip from experience - if you don't know that something is right - don't post it, unless you wish to ask about it.

But, when somebody as yourself write a sentence like this: I've omitted the sums because you won't understand them anyhow... or you couldn't even set the game properly up to begin with because you suck at Maths it shows only what small caliber and arrogant person you are.

Thats not arrogance - Most 15 year olds have these problems all the time at school and is elementary stuff. It is finding the angle of an arc created from the chord (fairway) of a circle in relation to the radius (driving distance) - its hardly like we're trying to solve Fermat's last theorem here....

Keep your math for yourself then, I am not interested to see it any more (and I honestly was interested until now, since I always like to learn).
Save it as well as your pathetic ad hominemremarks to your friends, if you have any.

Wow, isn't this a funny contradiction, not only have you actually done an Ad Hominem you also have created another logical fallacy strawman by saying that I have done an Ad Hominem.

You see (educating you again) - this would be an ad hominem

Darius - states arguement A
Mathew says - your a idiot so therefore you say is just stupid and just naturally be completely incorrect...

What I did was not an ad hominem because an ad hominem is attacking the other persons character to destroy their arguement without having any refutation. I posted the correct mathematical answers and ultimately I stated an arguement .. the fact I put a few remarks that you found insolent doesn't make it an ad Hominem. An insult and an ad Hominem are two different things.

In the process you created a strawman arguement that I was doing an ad hominem.

However you haven't stated an arguement and wish to destroy the validity of my arguement by ad hominems.

Its like a nightmare isn't it..... but its all of your own doing as your initial intention with your post was far more sinister than my out and out refutation of your post. I don't stab people in the back - if I have a problem with a post then I say and I don't hold no punches.... thats just me. I might get critised for it and I could be more PC at times - something I try to work on.

I wrote an innocent enough statement saying that I believe Tiger is better than Hogan and that if he was only hitting the ball 250 yards he would be as accurate... anyone with sence can see there is so many factors but no no no, you came marching on telling me I was wrong and how I was incorrect and the maths does matter. Your intention was to make me sound stupid - which is always a bad thing to try to do with anyone. Unfortunately you just happened to pick on someone that can defend themselves and actually can do the maths properly. Your the bully, so stop trying to paint yourself as the victim.
