Ustwo.... I agree with you. (can't believe those words escaped my mouth!
) If the family owns it, it should be theirs until they decide otherwise.
But seriously, remarks like "I dare you to defend it" and "I rather doubt [golf courses are] popular with our tilted friends on the left" really do nothing but help to start a flame war. I suggest you ask yourself if what you say can be phrased in a way that can still be convincing without pissing people off.
