Whats so great about this site is the members make it great. Tim did I great job setting this all up but it's all the members and all there different views that make it great. We all get to express are OPINION good or bad, informed or not. Player or designers of the courses. The review should stay if that's how you honestly feel. Screw what the Shannon thinks. It's not his review. He can say it wasn't helpful to him and submit his own review. Don't cave to his pissing and moaning. He just needs a beer, or maybe some sedatives. I have seen other reviews where one contradicted the other one. He can write a review and say yours is incorrect then when others go to the course they can decide which review was helpful. We all can see those ghetto disc catchers he has. That's a strike right there in my book. After all his ranting and raving I'll never go that POS. Just my OPINION!
I'll give some thought as to what to do.. right now I'm strongly considering removing the course from DGCR entirely as there is no guarantee an outburst like this won't happen again should a less than positive review be posted by someone else. Quite frankly, I feel ShannonHG's attacks against John and the other comments he has posted have done far more damage than John's review ever could have. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and I think this entire thread has left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
The whole idea behind DGCR is to share opinions, good or bad about courses. Some people won't like a course, some will.. same thing with movies, video games and any other creative endeavor. I can't remember the last time an artist/director/actor publicly attacked someone that gave their work a bad review.
I won't stand for reviewers being insulted and bullied in an attempt to have them change their reviews to fit into how someone else feels the course should be rated. I would rather remove or not allow reviews on a course if I and other DGCR members have to deal with this kind of ridiculous drama.

When I saw the posted pics of Higher Ground, it looked really cool, and I wanted to play the course.
Since I have not seen the course or met the people involved, I can't speak to the quality of the course or the fairness of the review. The larger issue for me it the ability for someone to bully their opinions at us and suppress the opinions of others. I would be in favor of:
1. Leaving the course on the site.
2. Leaving the original review on the site and leaving the decision to edit it up to the author.
3. Deleting this thread and all the nonsense that was posted on it.
Really, if we are going to freely post opinions, this sort of thing can't go on.
