Jeff & Rusty

you didn't soda pop People get touch talking about Dale Sr.

The truth hurts sometimes.
 
Well I am a Jeff Gorodn fan and all I will say is I don't like seeing drivers knock others out of the way. But if a driver is going to do it for wahtever reason, then when someone knocks him out of the way the driver should keep his mouth shut about it.
After all what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

But I will say if driver A deliberately rams driver B and driver B bounces off the wall or other cars and needs to go to the pits or garage area driver A needs to be parked until the other car or cars get back onto the track.
This should stop a lot of overly agressive driving on the track
Now I don't mean every time two cars bump but there are times when you can tell the contact is deliberate and planned. This is the time to park the driver. Then after the race tell all involved "We are going to keep a close eye on all of you. Stop this crap or else!!!!".
 
It seems that arguing some points is like wipeing your butt on a wagon wheel.Next week it will be something else to debate.Thats why I like Nascar racing,and the forum.Just don't take things personel,and it will continue to be fun.;)

Welcome Soda Pop. You asked, and I took offense to your statement above. And BTW, I am not a newer fan.:mad:

Hi, just wondering where I got personal.

Can you point out where I bashed other posters?  Thanks!

Smashing people into walls for wins isn't a good driver.  Anyone can do that.  It's just that in your bully's days no one had the cajones to stand up to him.

Now that he's gone....different story. :)

He wouild even joke about it and laugh when he nearly killed other drivers...fans thought it was great too!  Bye bye!

Driver bashing can lead to a lot of problems too. Especially when the driver in question is a dead icon. I may not have been a big fan of his, but many people have very intense feelings about the man. They don't deserve to be bashed for their feelings.
 
Soda Pop...I am not trying to make a big deal out of this, but as a newer poster you just need to understand a few basic things about this forum. Paul and the mods work very hard to make this a safe, fun, and enjoyable place to discuss our favorite sport and other things. Personal attacks obviously don't help that environment. Also when driver bashing starts, it can escallate very quickly. Next thing you know this becomes another "Gordon is gay", "Earnhardt was a cheater", "Tony Stewart is a punk" board and nobody in here really wants that. The net is full of those kinds of boards and many of us came from those kind of places and we like this much better. Again, this is not meant as an offence to you, just a friendly bit of information to help you and others enjoy your stay.
 
I guess sodapop didn't want to stick around to see the answer to the question sodapop asked. :(
 
Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope. :rolleyes:
 
No, I'm here! But it seems accepted that people can bash other drivers and everyone laughs it up!!

I said nothing personal to anyone and didn't bash anyone! Sr being dead doesn't mean people can't dislike him or talk about him. Gimmie a break I never bashed another poster!
 
I guess we have different opinions on what "bashing" is. But I still have to agree with what 4x pointed out.
 
Bashing would be calling you names. I never did! That other poster always points out how "old of a fan" he is...somehow trying to make it sound like he knows more than anyone else.

Just because you don't like to hear bad things about Earnhardt doesn't mean what you're hearing is personal bashing!!
 
Soda Pop...I'm glad you have chosen to stay. I hope you are here for a long time. I just wanted to let you know that we do not tolerate bashing other members whether by name or by group (such as bashing all Dale fans as a whole). Accusing people of "dick waving" could be taken as offensive also. Just trying to help you out a little. I know it is difficult when you first join a board to get a feel for the community, but it is usually easier if you try not to offend people right off the bat. Relax, enjoy, and have one on me.:beerchug:

I see your point about bashing some drivers being acceptable. The donuts for Jimmy stuff could be taken the wrong way if you happen to be a Jimmy Spencer fan. I guess it's just a matter of knowing people better to understand their statements. I like Todd Bodine a lot, but I slam his driving, because I know it is partially true, but I like him anyway.

I think it is more HOW you are saying things than what you are actually saying that has my goat. I was one of the first persons watching a race that would yell and scream at Dale Sr. when he was completely out of line during a race. One that comes to mind first is the Bristol Race when he spun Terry Labonte for the win. I didn't like the way that Sr. won that race. There were PLENTY of other times he was in the wrong! But the way you mentioned "Oh, I see, you're an Earnhardt fan......." seemed to me that that statement was filled with complete sarcasm. I apologize if I misunderstood what you were saying.

Welcome to the board, and I hope you take what we are saying is constructive criticism. That's all it is. Just some advice to get along with EVERYONE! (I believe as Paul stated in another thread, if you HAD crossed the line, you would have known from one of the Moderators) They do keep tabs of us ALL (and wonderfully I might add!)

Off my soap box now! Have a WONDERFUL day!:D
 
How can I continue to bea jerk when you people are so nice!?! :eek:

You're ruining all the fun!!
 
Soda- I don't think ya did anything wrong. I think the problem is the older posters don't know us as well, ect. So they don't know how to take us. While I was disagreeing with you in the thread, I don't think you said anything different than the norm on here. JMO. :)
