The flight sim group is now a pointless political debate mess. Nothing
about flight sims is ever discussed, and most of the regulars have
abandoned it. RAS seemed to have patrons that were above this level of
idiocy, but Mitch had to drag his poision here after people stopped
listening to his garbage in the other group. Sad.

Apologies for getting drawn in, but it takes two or more to tango, so it's
not fair to blame any one person. In my defence I did try to remember to
add [OT] to every thread I was involved in to allow filtering. That
doesn't make it right though.

So, so. If you don't want to read something, then stop reading.
A little political off-topic rant must be allowed in here. We'd look like
single-minded goons if not!
But I agree, we are in a bit of a vacuum these days. Only GTR out there of
novelty value...
And there is plenty of half-political stuff for arguing inside the sim world
itself. Like First Racing's attitude towards the code.

No it mustn't! Take it elsewhere. If I wanted to listen to political drivel
I'd go to another group - that's how Usenet works - show some respect to
other users.

Sorry, but life goes where it pleases! :) Some things transcend
everything and always will.

Personally I don't think there are ever any winners in these debates. They
just get further and further apart until both sides feel they have won.
In fairness to Mitch I don't think he has any agenda to kick off these
debates but simply gets involved. I'd rather not see all this stuff here and
it is a shame when regular posters who can amicably discuss the merits of
race sims end up at each others throats. We don't have to share political
views to enjoy race sims and get on together on the track.
Though I guess wishing for Usenet peace is a shade naive...
Cheers

I really dont know what he's getting on about. Just look through this NG
history since 96' and find all my OT posts. Bet even he could count to
two... Maybe not...
He just has sour grapes because Ive put him in his place so many times on
the other NG. All he can do now in retaliation is attack me as his lack of
any sense or logic was proven long ago.
I find it quite humorous actually. Nothing better than a farlefty foaming
at the mouth ;)

No, he doesnt
have an agenda does he... At least youre man enough to step up (not that it
matters in the least in the big scheme). That I do respect whether we agree
or disagree on the political BS.

Its all only meaningless talk easily skipped after all. Ive seen much worse
drivel (sp? Ive never used that word before hehe) while on topic here in
RAS ;)
