First of all, you don't KNOW what the people who have ripped her on this forum have accomplished, and secondly, are you taking the ridiculous stance that nobody should ever comment about a public figure unless they've made as much money or accomplished what said figure has accomplished? As far as her play goes, that's a separate issue, one that is addressed on an ongoing basis in the "Is Michelle Wie getting worse?" thread-one that you are mostly silent on nowadays except for the odd surly comment or so-and even there, I've asked several golf fans about your stance that Wie is, or will be, vastly superior to Morgan Pressel, and, to a man, they all said you didn't know what you are talking about. But this isn't about her play, or, at best, that's a side issue here: it's about her tactics, her choices on developing her game, and her attitude. There were numerous people who predicted right from the start that her frequently playing on the men's tour before learning to win on the women's tour was a huge mistake for her development, and those people haven't exactly been proven wrong, have they? If you want to keep pretending that a player who withdraws twice within a month, in the manner that she did, and with the circumstances that surrounded her, is business as usual, you go right ahead. Many of us have our eyes wide open, and have suspicions both about the extent of her injury-and I'm tired of hearing about THAT, too, if you're injured, don't play, if you play, don't alibi-and her motives for withdrawing. You think we're pathetic for commenting on that, that's your privilege; personally, I think it's pathetic that you have your head in the sand when it comes to this player, so I guess we're even...
