In reply to the discussion: I am so mad I am shaking [View all]coalition_unwilling
(14,180 posts)164. On the contrary, it has the ring of truth to it. The OP did not
hit and run with the post but stuck around for awhile to respond and clarify, at least one mark of veracity. Likewise, the specific details offered (the $35 greens fee, the foursome) also add to the feeling of authenticity. Do you have any evidence upon which to support your allegation that the OP's is a 'made up story'???
What is incredible is that some people still feel they can say the 'N*' word without violating any sort of taboo. Blows my mind.
