Just saw a new userid to me: "tons-of-fun",
and sadly it occurred to me that despite all the help we try to give each other here, our posts rarely reflect the fun that this game/sport should be. Yes, sometimes, it's a game and sometimes it's a sport, to each of us. But we all got into this because it was fun. We got good at it because we liked to do it, among other reasons.

We get so serious sometimes (myself included), we get so arrogant, we get so self-righteous, we get so pig-headed, stubborn about our attitudes, we get so dumb sometimes.

We need to loosen up a bit and enjoy life a little more, without insulting each other.

"When we choose an action,
we also choose the consequences of that action.

Yes, we need to remember the fun aspect of bowling that we all love to debate. I used to take the sport with more of an intense attitude in my younger days, but with life experience came the realization that bowling is a fun sport, I get great joy and discovery out of it whenever I bowl well, whenever I struggle and when I see other people doing well in the sport it pleases me.

I try my best to be constructive to people when they ask opinions or I give my thoughts without being insulting. There have been a couple of times when people felt the need to strongly express an opposing view, for which all I can do is ingest what they have to say and take the opinion for what it's worth.
