| “While I have played with Tad before
and found him to be good guy - today
he appeared to be something
completely different. We had a lot of
distractions from the adjacent court
which had a family with a couple of
very young girls playing (ages about
6-8). Their balls very constantly
coming into our court. But I was
disturbed by Tad's use of profanity on
them along with uttering the "F" word
multiple times. I then took him aside
and privately told him that what he
was doing was wrong and she should
tone down his rhetoric. I found his
behaviour especially unforgivable since
I have young children of my own.
Instead of settling down, Tad informed
me that he was quitting after a next
few games. This was despite the fact
that the family with the young girls
decided to leave.
Tad you should be ashamed of your
behaviour today. You mentioned that
you have kids of your own. I do not
think you would use the kind of
language in front of them that you
used today.
I can understand why you got
distracted. I was distracted too. But the
courst over here are PUBLIC courts and
they are used by all kinds of people -
including kids who cannot control their
shots. Learn to live with that.
Also I question your integrity. After
agreeing that we will declare this
match with myself being the winner
since you decided to quit, you
conveniently decided to close this
match as cancelled. SHAME ON YOU
TAD.
You mentioned in the end that I am
not your father and should not
comment on your behavior. Well I am
indeed not your father but I will not
tolerate such behaviour in my
presence - regardless of who it is.
I find you to be a boorish complainer.
Complaining about the balls (as in the
previous game), complaining about the
visibility, complaining about the court,
etc. I think you take this game way too
seriously - and you should since you
are just an average recreational player
like myself and many others on one-
click.
We are through Tad. If you man
enough to apologize for your behavior
- you know who I am and how to reach
me.

solid all around player. Hits balls

clearance. Perfect guy to get my

hard but make relatively few
errors. ” |

repeatedly in his favor and then he
called the game score wrong, again
in his favor. When I explained that it

the previous comments are correct.
Tad is a very nice person who
makes poor line calls. I questioned
the 3rd bad call and he said he
couldn't see the ball. My rule of
thumb is if you can't see it, the
point is your opponent's - dp” |

He had a very very tough time to come to grip that it is a windy day he kept yelling, and picked a fight with the neighbouring court folks.
