We try to keep the thread off the personal assaults and jabs path, hope you don’t mind me saying that.

Seems that line was stepped over and over again with personal attack posts & pictures that should not have been allowed to stay on this thread.

Even more significantly, there was apparently little defense of WCG or her honor by the regular contributors here. That is shameful in my view. She has been a strong and regular contributor on our NASCAR threads, including the host of many races -- including this thread. I was out of town for this race, as stated early on here, but believe me I would have defended her during the race if I had been around.

Sure, like me, WCG is a strong partisan in favor of Jr but there is certainly nothing wrong with that, is there? Like it or not, Jr is the most popular driver in NASCAR and not by a small margin.

Hope you don't mind me saying that...

So, can I assume this post was directed at some of my postings? It sure seems apparent to me. I will try and address things.

If you have something to say about me, direct your post to me. I did nothing "shameful! It may have been bad taste, according to some, but you are a little over the line. I, too, am a NASCAR fan.

I responded when Kyle was being nailed as a dastardly little boy, with no scruples (I paraphrase, of course), because he got into a tussle with Jr, and won. As previously stated, I like Kyle, as much as any other driver. I like his spunk. I am a Ford man, and a Mark Martin Fan. I saw them "racing".

I was poking fun at those folk who can't take a poke, evidently. I didn't post anything worse than what you may see on TV. I don't think I said bad things about WCG, or any other posters. I even had the mods pull MY OWN POST, because I didn't want to cross that line. One of your leaders called me down, in a private message.

I am sorry, if I offended. You have a clique. I am sorry I came in the door. Shut it next time... or let the good times roll!!!

Don’t mind your comments at all, voxfreedom, Well said.

I was asleep thru the whole thing and Im still swaying to wave motion even tho I’ve home 3 days.

I encourage the individual posters to step up and hit the
Abuse Button when they deem appropriate. The Mods are more than happy to make the call, and if enough folks do it , we shouldn’t have to have the descent into petty comments repeated as it was.

I have asked twice to have a few of the pics and comments removed, even counseled a couple of folks about their posts and asked that folks take it offline if they want to whack othhers.

I will let what is still up short of the pic posts to stand as a standard that won’t be tolerated in the future.

If people want grab-ass posting rights , then do it elsewhere, we have tried to keep the race thrads out ofm the weeds for years, and for the most part have been successful.

WCG has endureed more than her share of abuse for being a diehard fan. at least she has been respectful, but I do not denigrate her for giving a lick or two back.

Let the thread be a lesson for those whom would use it as one. for those who use it as a trash dump, you have been warned.

And I might add, of folks want me to move on as a few might for any number of reasons, just let me kow, offline or on the thread. I can take and I will give itm series thought.
