As I said be fr I was told to remove it and I did. We will have to wait and see what will happen. We need some time too cool down.
This site is supposed to allow teams, crew members, FANS, and sponsors to discuss and learn about what is going on in the racing world. I think It would be very sad and unfair if all the people who enjoy using this site for the proper reasons have to suffer for the wrongfull doing of a handfull of members. In other words there should be a forum for the OSS just like every other series and track out there.
I know we were going to let this be. However the post by Montess intrigued me. I was one of the members who received a PM from this person. After re-reading my posts I was confused as to why or how I pissed him off so badly.... Anyway glad to here members of the OSS ( atleast one ) agree with the decisions made by the mods here at CRO. However I see no reason the OSS wont continue to be discussed as in the past. You are right montess the OSS consists of many great competitors and one bad apple shouldnt ruin it for the rest of you / us.
Once again I wish the best of luck to all in the OSS.
If members of this site take the time to recall the events of not just the past few weeks , but the entire year, midamerica was attacked just about every time he posted anything. Whether his cars were bashed , his choice of drivers , his numbers on expenses etc etc. He may have exaggerated at times ,but is that a mortal sin ? Everybody has a breaking point, perhaps he reached his. There was only one perfect human being, and we crucified him. I would like to see Dave be given the opportunity to complete the dream of the OSS being a success . He has earned his place in the Ontario racing community thru large investment ,hands on hard work , not to mention the thousands of dollars he was cheated out of a few years ago. He should not have acted in the way he did last week ,but who among us has not done the same in one way or another ? I don't know him personally but as a Christian , I forgive him and the least the rest of you should do is the same . I would like to think if he could he would apologize to those affected but I don't know him so I will assume for now.
I wish to repeat my statement of the post I made a few days ago that was deleted by the moderator. Perhaps the private message system needs to be removed from the site. Most of the banishment's that occurred in 2007 where as a result of misuse of this feature. With that being said, I say let's go racing boys !!!
I agree somewhat with what your saying Duken. However that is the chance you take when you post on an open forum. If he didnt like the critisism, he should have stopped the posting or ignored the responses. To steal a saying from Ron White. He had the right to remain silent but not the ability. I know quite a few racers, owners and fans that read the boards on here religously and have never posted.
What has happened has happened we cannot go back we can only move ahead, which is what I'm going to do. I'm done with this topic.
Perhaps the private message system needs to be removed from the site.
Hi Duken, how is everyone doing down there? Say hello to RW and her son for me, will ya. I hope they are doing well?
I don't think there's a problem with the private message system, just the odd person that abuses it, and if they do abuse it, then they should suffer the consequence.
Why should the rest of us have to pay for what a very few have abused over the years? I've used the PM on occasion, not often, sometimes. It's a convenient way to talk to another member on a matter that is of no interest to the group, be it simply to get another members unlisted email address or talk about another pvt matter.
At any rate, just my humble opinion, for what it's worth. I'd like to see this site grow, not be diminished. 😉
