I did the same actually, with all the hoopla I figured this had to be
the bonehead move of the century or something.....imagine my
disappointment

Oh that's real smart Dave, rip someone to shreads and think that a
smiley face will fix everything... pretty stupid if you ask me. :)

Seriously though Dave,  I can understand your frustration w/ being
suspended.  I can't remember all the messages that happened during the
race and I am not about to go back and fill out a time-line of all the
posts on the subject, but I tend to take you at your word when you say
you were only responding to threats during the race and posts after (I
do remember Tim's message about wrecking you in the game... at the
time I thought he was just joking around... I thought he forgot to
attach the smiley face).  I would be pretty pissed off if someone
threatened to wreck me during a race and I knew they were serious
about it.  Intentional wrecking is bullshit and we all know it.  Quite
frankly its pretty stupid to even threaten because the next time you
punt a guy everyone will wonder...

But, put yourself in Eldred's shoes.  This is probably the biggest
conflict we have had in RASCAR that I can remember and both you guys
are pretty pissed off at each other.  It would be hard for Eldred to
suspend one guy and let the other race despite the fact that one guy
or the other may be more too blame.  Like others have said, maybe you
can work it out with Eldred as probably could Tim (although it looks
like he took his ball and went home).

BTW, what lap did this happen on?

Oh, and if I offended anyone... :).

Well, the next time I spend 30 mins DL'ing a replay I expect you to have
done something a lot more sinister than this

Too bad after all those megabytes of downloading, you dont get the chat
messages. That is where the good stuff was.

I think Mitch got into it with someone last year and got a one race
suspension. Or was that two years ago?

I cant seem to remember. too much grub.

Yea it was last year just as we began RASCAR.  I lifted on a yellow at
Bristol (not avoiding anyone just being cautious) and John didnt think twice
about taking the spot.  I didnt know guys in non-pickups raced this way as
the last pickup I had done was hawaii, maybe a couple on TEN.  I was really
pissed, I bumped him from behind under caution lightly to let him know I
wasnt happy.  At the restart I *TOOK* the spot comin outta 2 which didnt
make John all too happy.  I was on the apron as I made the pass BTW.  We
musta had a warp, next thing I knew were in a shouting match similar to
this.  I felt totally wronged and was just going to quit but John pissed me
off so bad I wouldnt let him have the satisfaction hehe.  We made up and all
has been much better 'tween us since.  At least from my perspective.  IIRC
Dan or even you Grub took a few verbal shots at me as well which didnt help
my mental state all to much either <g>.  As Ive said before, I won't start
it but Ill sure try to finish it.  Meybe some day Ill grow up, althought I
very much doubt it hehe.

Actually, just ignore me.  I need a lie down.  I just tried it again and
couldn't beat 54.8 with the same setup and default weather.  Being in
traffic I would have thought would have held me up, especially as the
best AI driver was only on 54.7, and yet, in amongst a large pack of 6
or 7 cars which were holding me up in my view, and I did a 54.3.  Today,
out on my own, and I can only do a 54.8.  Weird.  Went back to the Monte
Carlo and did the same lap time.  Oh well.

Well, Mitch, you were a fierce competitor for me last year and I will be the
first to appolize for adding to your mental grief with my stupid verbal
shots. I guess the grub tasted a little ***, and nobody wants to miss out
on a good fight.

You know we all can learn to be 'slow to speech'. Maybe I dont want roger
wilco after all.

And then, when we do say something, it probally needs to be with sincere
thought and goodwill intent. Maybe we should have a prayer at the beginning
of each race to encourage this goodwill. Just like on tv.

I volunteer to sing dixie before the start.

"oh i whished i wuz, in the lands of cottin, old tymes there are not
fergottin, "

I can't do it. I would never make it past the first stanza. Too emotional.
I'm just a ham.
