So you want us to moderate it just for you? Sounds like wanting cake and
eating it to me!

Allow me to "spin" this one with facts.

Amazing what a bit of time and investigation can reveal.

Good idea. I agree with this 50-soldier thing. This kind of thing happens
in war, on both sides: it's the nature of the beast. Hiding it for all this
time is worst than the actual act, is my feeling. It would be like someone
racing on rFactor. He joins a server and does a few fast laps. Someone
asks him, hey, how are you so fast? The guy replies, dunno-- it's my first
time on this track.

But the guy had been running the track since last November.

Sorry-- it's the best I can do.

Youre playing into the trolls hand here Tony and it's really surprising
coming from you.

No, I want you to moderate it just for you (and other OT haters). Im not
crying about OT posts am I?

You ask me to stay OnT and I gave you a suggestion that will keep my
responses OnT. If that's to difficult then be prepared for OT posts.
Pretty simple, no? ...

I'm giving a pass on this thread but will not next time. Dont come back
crying to me about OT when I do.

Sounds to me like youre wanting cake and eating it too Tony, LOL.

Mitch, I am sure you are more than capable of being responsible for your
own actions and don't need to rely on others to prevent you from
responding to troll posts.

Sure I'd rather not see the OT political stuff as in my opinion it
degrades the value of the group - but heck this is usenet and we have
both been around here long enough to know the score. It is one opinion
in a diverse group and if you choose to disagree with it so be it.

Cheers
Tony

Sure..... LOL

I dont disagree Tony.

Not sure if youve noticed but I havent said a word about politics in this
thread.

The thread went into another direction but not due to my responses.

All I asked is whats new in the simracing world to talk about.

Anything?
