Madrid Master or Pet toy circus?

First topic message reminder :

Someone said that the Madrid Masters is the pet toy and circus created by a bullying megalomaniac and It is ugly to its core. And what ****** her off more than anything is that we as spectators only get to see the top players ply their craft on clay from April to June for around 5 tournaments. Serbia and Nice are not supported, so the clay court specialists come into their own only around five times in a full season. Five times!! That being the case, why do they have to tinker about with one of them?? And she was being polite in using the word, "tinker". What is the purpose of all this buffoonery??? Interesting how Rafa said that how would it go down if Cincy's surface was changed to grass right before the US Open? Does this pathetic tournament benefit any single player in the preparation for the French Open? Do spectators go there and think its one of the best tennis experiences they are ever likely to have??


And on a final note. You know that equally ugly, foul - but yet very fitting - trophy that Tiriac's had made for the tournament winner. You know, the one that looks like something you would order on-line from a very dodgy sex shop for use in things where the imagination does not want to go. Yeah ... she'd like to stick it where the sun don't shine, and I know to whom

For once a trophy that has more than one use.

I wish other events would follow suit

I'd think twice before biting it that's for sure! lol

It's a massive plus.

Imagine Nadal biting on it and thinking "yuk I won't want to win that again" Lol

Hmmmmm, maybe if he did that his image would be all over the web like this unfortunate lady golfer.... http://niceballz.com/featured/golf-trophies/

lol reckoner...lets hope Rodge doesnt show up at Rome A&E anytime soon

Arhhh, the old 606 days Haddie...the days of arguing endlessly between Nameless and Rafanatic? (cant remember her name now...lol).

OMG I remember.. dont you mean deecoco. And dont forget the other twonk
ChumbaWUMba ...now Bourne

Well.... well. Poor show indeed !

Any future posts /articles from p_m will, I'm sure, be treated with a lot more scepticism. Plagiarism is never a good thing

Now that you've found him out, H-n, I'm beginning to wonder whether it's happened before. A quick review of p_m's other recent posts reveal a quite different writing style - and indeed type of subject matter - than this one about Madrid.

I did enjoy the article he posted a couple of weeks ago on 'The Ditherometer.' But I'm now wondering whether this too was the unattributed work of somebody else entirely ......

Haddie,

I think Federer should donate the trophy to us the posters here so we can pass it round and do some foul things to it and then make PM bite on it!

I have to admit I am not a fan of some passing off their own work as their own. The bugger!

I would lie however if I said I didn't giggle when I found his crime! He did so well to cover it up himself

Hmmmmm, maybe if he did that his image would be all over the web like this unfortunate lady golfer....


OMG puleeeeeeeeeeeze How so embarassing... :run:

Yes may he be sitting in a corner somewhere and contempating his navel... I know how to deal with naughty little boys. Come out PM and own up or get bannished to where the other nasty posters go.. :warning:

Can someone tell me why my little smiley´s arn´t working properly :chin:

Where on earth would you get that idea? Anyway it's positioning I'm criticising here not speed.

Message sent on behalf of Polished_man from his PA:

Polished_man cannot replay on any of the messeges posted on his recent thread as he is being on holiday in a very remote island of the Pacific, without any possibility to find any of the modern means of communication.

He thoroughly apologise to the above mentioned poster Wooffie for having taken "some inspiration" (his words) from her/his own article without "probably" (h.w.) giving enough credit .

He ,on the other hand, vigorously denies that every other posts of him is not entirely his own, and specifically the article entitled "The Ditherometer", which he is especially proud of.

mmmm well taking inspiration is hardly what I would call it... rather taking the words right out of her mouth is more to the point .. but I think you may have had your tongue in cheek when writing The Ditherometer" Wooffie wasn´t far from your mind at the time me thinks . it is here you may have got the inspiration you speek of

message sent on behalf of P_M from his trustful PA:

Polished_man has just let me know by fax about the following: he acknowledges that he got a little upset when the forum "The Rafateers" (one of his fav) was closed to the public as he enjoyed lurking in there every now and then and that he misses much some of the posters over there and in particular: Wooffie, Rafa and Ready and Cats are cool.

I suggest you go back to the forum and re-introduce yourself.. Im sure if PM
reitterrates what he has written here they will not turn him away. An apology directly to Wooffie would Im sure be appreciated PM... and a little loyalty in the future off you trot there´s a good lad

That's right p_m, be a good boy and do as Mummy tells you.

Wooffie is one of those who only complains when their favourite is knocked out of that tournament, thanks for re-posting here, polished_man!

Reckoner your posts would be a lot easier to digest if they had a little sweetner on the end... always tastes a bit acid to me

I'm not sure I understand, what did you have in mind, H-n?

PM.

I think you should endure a forefit.

Either a Nadal type wedgie

Or

A date with Schiavone and afters!

Schiavone would knot him into a pretzel

Well, forfeit or not (and that second option proposed by lk sounds truly scary), any further articles from polished will surely carry an official Health Warning.

Think of the lovebites with those gnashers!! He would be scarred for life

Two words: Sam Stosur

I'm supposed to be moderating this. Can anyone tell me what the heck you're all talking about?

y'know, stuff... you're not going to make us do lines are you JHM?

message sent on behalf of PM:

waoooo has anybody got still a spare gram of sense of humour in there??

Lines, grams...I think I understand now. Well, don't overdo it!

Sent from the keyboard of LKV2

Are you joking?

Deecoco hey Haddie...lol.

No I was thinking of one called "Rafa...something".

lol @ the evening with Schiavone or Stosur!

Well in your capacity as a Moderator JHM we look to you for guidance as to the appropriate sanction for plagiarism ; a shameful crime, which has been pretty much admitted by polished_man (1.29pm)

For 'tis that what has caused us offence

think it was "rafanatica" Haddie...
Remember that Nameless and Maximus used to argue cat and dog too.

I actually think you were right the first time Lydian.. Rafanatic I think cant remember now ...anyway I know it got down and dirty on more than a few occasions lol

[quote="reckoner"]Well at the risk of another telling off Haddie, perhaps it would have been better to have apologised to the OP for slating their post out of hand rather than lags.

FWIW I thought the OP was rather well written, nice one CommonSense![/quote

Reckoner, thank you, that's very thoughtful
and kind of you. But no apology needed. I’m only the messenger. A reader has
the right to interpret the message anyway he/she likes.

Just to clarify I did
say that I’m NOT the writer of the material I posted. It was written by a
poster called Steve I found on another forum. As it is so rare to encounter such
a fine piece of tennis literature, I felt the urge to share it with fellow
tennis fans. So I cut and pasted it in my first post today. But I get the
feeling readers here still think I wrote the whole post myself. Gosh, I wish I were
that talented.

"Yea wot me innit, blue not rite when it sposed to be red innit. That man Tiriax we should be throwing red clay at him. Nadal is the goat and Federer is not the goat but a blue cheese."

This is my cut and paste contribution to the discussion (the name and address of the author of the above material has been withheld for security reasons).

In the circumstances what a goddammed nerve : :censored:

Wot's going on here ?? I've now lost the thread completely ... so to speak ......

Initially we had H-n exposing the fact that polished_man had simply copied 'his' article word for word. Which p_m himself then pretty much admitted.

CommonSense got a fair few compliments (and some criticism) for his flowery prose but he now tells us that it wasn't his own work either .....

If ever there was a case for asterisking - it's gotta be this whole bizarre thread !!

NS - Rafa is the Clay GOAT of course. But Fed is the new King of Blue Clay

ps I hereby confirm the above is entirely my own work.

On top of this I get a slagging off from reckoner and a very rude response to my criticisms from CS... great stuff.. What a goddammed cheek .. and there handing out bloody roses to each other ...

Yes it is my own work and I didn´t copy and paste it. So Ferderer and Tiriiac can stuff their blue clay where the sun dont shine.

lags 72: can you please go back to my original post, I clearly STATED there "in the post I cited below for all to share". That means the material following is cited, it is a quotation. No secret. I even put the pasted post in open and close quotes. Do you see it now? At the end of the quote I also put "courtesy of Steve". Do you see that now? Is it fair of you accusing me of only NOW telling you this? Must I be blamed because you overlooked certain details in my post?

Too bad that you lost the plot.

Here I'm forced to add that my original post is meant for mature and thinking readers. Others not up to the task need not bother. I'm not here to be your English teacher. How about doing all the and reading and finding the way yourself? :roll:

In the circumstances how dare you address this comment to me ...it appears that you need the English teacher when you cant even write a post without using someone elses material... and you think your MATURE i WOULD SUGGE3ST IT WAS YOU THAT LOST THE PLOT. hOW ABOUT DOING ALL THE WRITING AND FIND THE WAY YOURSELF :furious:

Absolutely CS! And if you reed in between the lines there's plenty of hints revealing this post wasn't mine either.

Well, now that's all cleared up, I STRONGLY suggest everyone either stick to the topic of the Madrid Masters, or not post at all.

Yes, I am.

CommonSense I have deleted your last post. I even more strongly suggest you do not ignore moderator's requests, if you wish to remain part of the forum.

Thank you
