Question of the day for March 20, 2011. Subjective.
General
Gentlemen, I came on here prepared to close this discussion as it was degenerating into a personality bashing fest. As you know, I never accept nor tolerate that between our members here. Jeff stated, just last week, that he is proud of how we all get along now that the few bad apples have moved on. I, too, have always been proud of that fact.
When I posted the original comments over four years ago, comments were slow in coming but recently blew up into what appear to be personal attacks. I will not publicly take sides in these issues as I feel it will defeat the purpose of the comment I'm making here. The opinions expressed here are about the competitors as mentioned, all of whom are held in high regard, or total distain, by some of us, depending upon our outlook. It has always been that way with race fans due to the passions we all feel for the sport, the drivers, and the cars.Name calling and insinuations about one another will not be accepted by me and if it continues, I will close this discussion, for whatever that may be worth.
I do find it odd that we all have expressed, over and over, how important it is to get young people into our fold to keep the history of this sport we so treasure alive. Yet, when we disagree with the opinions expressed by a young person, we take it to a personal level which I feel is totally uncalled for. I would ask that this be considered in any future comments.
That's it for now. I do apologize for this post going down hill in the manner it did. I appreciate and respect you all and would ask that you give your respect to all parties in our website.
Thank you.
