[B][I]I am no longer going to be involved in all this petty childish name calling bashing crap. What I am going to do is simply this: I don’t care who you are if I don’t think it belongs on this board I am simply going to delete it, period the end.
I just emptied my PM box for the third fricking time this week and I swear some of the stuff I read looks like it is from some third grade playground. [/I][/B]
How would you like for us to get your attention to a post that should be deleted ? You already mentioned you dont have time to read every post. I’m all for deleting crap post. Is there a way to flag a post ? Is there a way for a post to be automatically deleted if a predetermined amount of people flag a post ?
How about just posting about racing? I have posted numerous times about so-called parameters in postings and all have been ignored so now it will be at my discretion.
Jack, Rick, Jane, and several others including myself worked our a$$es off for so many years trying to bring you all the latest and most interesting RACING news. What a kick in the a$$ for Jack!..
Isnt there any worthwhile news? of course there is. Hey Tuney… start looking thru the internet and put your energy into some decent RACE reporting. Same with you EZ…
I feel so bad that you people can do this to Jack! screw all of you if you cant take the time to swallow your pride and make this right!
I dont want to hear one single word about Tuna, EZ or Boneman in a derogatory way. NOTHING! lets get back to some hard core race reports!

if you are trying to help then quit all the BS between you and Tuna. just get us some awesome race news! NO MORE BS! you may think youre helping but all you are doing is adding fuel to a freaking bon fire.
i am NOT answering anymore of this. i want racing news.
[SIZE=“4”]Martinsville (will it be the house of Mark) this the next stop on the GREAT race for the Chase. NASCAR’s new point system is working the way is was designed to do. Mark Martin sat on the poll for last week. Does he still have it??? What’s in sure thoughts??? Now this is back to RACING!!![/SIZE]
:auto003::auto003::auto003::auto003::auto003:
in celebration of post 2100!!! Never had so much fun, thanks Rick!! Bobby, I think Martin is as good or better than most 50 something yr olds. But I told my wife just mins before his wreck Sun he was gonna crash. He was VERY unsteady when pushing. Not saying he’s no good, just observing. These races are too long in the first place, add to that the age, its asking too much. I think he would be great as someone helping Danica Patrick or some young driver just coming up, IF that driver would listen to him. JMO Hope he wins one more before he’s done and quits before he gets hurt.

Doesn’t look like that will be happening anytime soon Bobby.
I have a great deal of respect for you after reading your posts … we CANNOT stop posting because of ANYONE else. if we do that THEY WIN! you are a valuable poster to this website. PLEASE dont stop posting.
if we keep it going in the right direction and get our friends to do the same then eventually we will be back in shape. just ignore what bothers you and do the right thing. This board needs you! Please dont take this post as disrespectful.
We dont need Rick to sit and watch the board. we need to take care of business. maybe EZ and Tuna will see how much fun it is to search for race news and share with us. If not, then make it a conscious effort to skip over their posts. No one does that tho. they keep reading and responding. Thats why it never stops.

PLEASE post about racing safety. IT IS A MUST! we have in the past done alot to support safety issues. might be time for some refreshers! There are people who post on here (or used to) who are invaluable. Frasson (Jerry Binner) is like a walking talking encyclopedia of racing knowledge as is Dave Westerman… OJ is a firefighter… could help with how to deal with different types of fires and removing drivers from burning cars, he also has alot of racing history knowledge, some people are great organizers… Tony Carreno is one…some are writers, …
my point is that we have run off some really important people who contribute alot. HOWEVER… the name calling has got to stop. it isnt right on any level… it is the mean behavior that runs people off. lets bring back some REAL RACING FANS and especially DRIVERS!!! RESPECT !!!
Rick… it isnt my job to tell you what to do but i think its wrong to erase entire threads because a few people ruin them. delete the ppl who cause the problems. thats all.
thank you for your time.
Please, Please, Please go to a Different Message Board!
This message board has over 4600 members and only a handful go through this BS constantly. My suggestion is…GO TO ANOTHER MESSAGE BOARD! There are literally 1000’s of racing related message boards including: 4M.net - (Try these type of insults and see how long you last over there.)
Florida Flag Stand
Stock Car Racing.com
Eastern Racing Chatter Board
and many more. Simply do a search on Google and sign up on one of those sites…PLEASE. Don’t go away mad, just GO AWAY! This is one of the most STUPID things I have been a part of EVER in the racing business. If this message board causes you so much aggravation, my suggestion is, find another board, or start your own! It’s really easy and cheap. Then you can say ANYTHING about ANYONE you want. I’m glad Rick handles this part…I would ban all of you! Geez!

Banning us problem children would probably work. Except most of the people would simply make up another name. I’m an ass on here but for a reason. I came on here some time ago because this message board was allowing my home tracks and sanctioning body to be bashed daily by a group of people. I set out to bash the bashers. It worked, they quit or left. Had this board not allowed the bashing, there would not have been a bash fest. Then most recently, I had enough of one person, it escalated and it is where it is today. I will stop when that problem is handled. It’s simple, there is a virus here and it needs to be managed or banned. He’s a common problem and does not exist on the other boards you mentioned. Constant worthless post, instigating, and right out lies is the reason me and so many others challenge him.
Scott I hear the frustration form you and Rick. There is a solution but it is not acted upon. Please read my suggestion early in this thread about a flagging system. That type if system is used on alot of messageboards and it works well.
Then problems with this board can be remedied with a flagging system or a set of rules enforced equally.
I wonder if Dear Abby ever followed any of the advice that she churned out over the years…
…cuz I know you sure don’t.
Please don’t take this as disrespectful…I can say what I want to now that I’ve asked you not to take it as disrespectful, right? I should have thought of this a long time ago. From now on, I think I’ll lead off every post I make with “No offense to anybody…BUT…”
You crack me up sometimes…
Anyways…I wish I had the time to go back and COUNT how many times you’ve instructed myself and everyone else to just “skip over”, “ignore” or “just don’t read” the posts that offend us. I’d also like to count how many times you’ve stated “this is my last post on this subject” or “I will not respond anymore”…I’m pretty sure it would require some higher math skills.
Take your own advice, Abby.
Don’t read it.
Don’t respond to it.
Just “skip over” it and go on to some of this good racing news you’re looking for. It’s still out there. These few little bytes of racing board BS aren’t getting in the way of whatever racing is out there.
Not so easy to do, is it?
Even harder to keep your fingers off the keyboard to type up a response.
And again…I say this with ALL the respect in the world…
