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.

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!!!

It was directed to you. Didn't you see your name in my addressee list?
If you pulled "your own post" you must have felt that particular one was out of line. Thanks for the admission. There were more than one.
If "One of (my) leaders called (you) down, in a private message" it was called for.

I didn't say anything about your NASCAR fan-ism. That didn't have anything to do with the issue at hand.

My above post was sent to others for the obvious reason that WCG is a friend and deserved support and defense as any of them would have expected if attacked in the manner you portrayed. And no, it wasn't "poking fun." Your pics in particular were rude and insulting. No, it isn't "a clique," it is, however, about acceptable behavior and respect.

I’ll accept your offering, we have had others in the past who let it rip, some who were a bit too aggressive post-wise or who wanted to go gonzo on the thread and didn’t care who they bump drafted into the wall.

The person this needs to be addressed to is the one you laid it on innocently or otherwise. ;-)

It may be too late, but it’s the thought that counts. :-)
