Can You Say Rashomon?
By now, and since the incident has been reported on mainstream media, I'm sure everyone's heard about that brawl on a Philippine golf course that occurred last December.
Just like in Akira Kurosawa's film, we have a number of versions of what happened. So now, who knows what is the truth? Perception, among other factors, may or may not have skewed it.

No, not quite Rashomon, actually. More like an object lesson in good writing vs. bad. Bambee de la Paz's account felt more authentic and better-crafted; the other guy's was sophomoric. I'm not grading based on authenticity, just on style.
One incident, so many versions. The discussion on the PGS Multiply is quite interesting, if you want to read more.
