Flame warGran Turismo question turns into attacks on a regular

A newcomer asked whether Gran Turismo could be discussed in the group; a few replies said yes, but most of the thread became personal and xenophobic attacks on regular poster François Ménard by 'The Rodster' and others. Ménard defended himself and several regulars backed him.

Hi, Do you guys ever talk about the game for the Sony Playstation "Gran Turismo" on this NG? Is this NG only for Computer driving simulators? Adrian Ratliff

Don't worry, the Egomaniac Usenet-Policeman (ynerd) will be on here any sec now to tell you what you can and cannot say. I'd give you my opinion, but I'm afraid he may use his super-policeman powers on me if I don't say what he likes. >Hi, >Do you guys ever talk about the game for the Sony Playstation "Gran >Turismo" on this NG?

I should have thought that having ***ing him AND kiss your ass at the same time would have been anatomically impossible, but then again I've never seen you so perhaps it's not. Still, live and let live, whatever turns you on. Cheers! John

There is a faction of R.A.S. that thinks that a simulator must recreate ALL of the details of racing , including the drudgery, so you might get some flak about GT being "arcade". I think that GT is one of the best racers out there. There are a few things I would change about, it but it's popularity speaks for itself.

Please stop acting like everyone's mom. PLEASE. Don't you feel like a major ***ing geek-ball with the way you act on public messageboards? It's hilarious how people talk about you in the NROS chat rooms when you are not around......sure they talk nice to your face.....but as soon as you leave it's like *coughGEEKcough* *coughLOSERcough*. Just wanted to let ya know what people REALLY think of you, perhaps you'll grow up a little. >>Don't worry, the Egomaniac Usenet-Policeman (ynerd) will be on here any sec

You must not know ymenard and how he acts around here then. Damn near everyone hates him on NROS. If you want some examples. I could probably post several HUNDRED. I'm not kidding either. >Its amzing how people are judging what he is going to say before he has even >read the post, and in the next message I see a f**k him, man you guys are >hard here huh. >>Don't worry, the Egomaniac Usenet-Policeman (ynerd) will be on here any sec

Is French a race or a nationality? I think you can be anti-French without being a racist. Classifying the immature comment above as racist diminishes real occurences of racism. That's what I think :) -- ------------------------------------------------------ IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com/pd.html ------------------------------------------------------
Bite you? *** you? Kiss your ass? Well, it seems we're on a voyage of discovery this week. Cheers! John

You VERY rarely see something flamed BECAUSE it is arcade. That almost exclusively happens when some kiddo calls an arcade racer a realistic sim. Of course, the latter happens every other week... ;^) l8er ronny -- "Human Rights? International law? Low flying rambos?

"Race" means decended from a common ancestor, so Rodster is just ill-informed (like that was an item of news, LOL!) Cheers! John
I agree Pat. I couldn't find the right word at the moment (yeah I'm french-speaking too) but thanks to John Wallace now I know. It should've read: Xenophobic. Better? <G> A. Renault

WallaceFan wrote First of all, this is my first and only post in defense of myself. For those who know me, Im a NROS Guide on the Total Entertainment Network. It is my job to help people and guide them in the arenas. If people hate me, it's mostly only related to my position. I know many people who call me a sell-out, that Im a butt-kisser for TEN yadda yadda yadda. So it might be the case, but Im helping anybody what has a problem. Mr. Wallace, I won't flame you, since Im trying to analyse some things here. Can you please enumerate the list of problems I do on the NROS ? I spend most of my time helping, as it is my job. Im sure plenty of fellow NROSers can easily say this. Im a honorable member of the ROR (Responsable Online Racers), a member of one of the most prestigious online racing series (HGNS) and a well known member of the community who is here to help and only to help. For those who don't know me, since my accident I was working on a book called (sorry it's in French but the translation is) "Psychology of the society in relation with the new medias", so Im able to spent most of my day helping as a NROS Guide. Im a information geek, and Im proud of it. Thus reading this newsgroup for the past 4years each day. Im a learning freak also. Im going back a second time to school for myself, learning and learning more. And as for those other people on the chats, if they are enough immature to take me on the "next" level and talk behind my back, I don't really care. They are just some other people somewhere in the world connected to the Internet. Here there was the guy, flaming me (I don't know him) and saying stupid things (ynerd) about myself. I only answered him in a simple good way, refering to the r.a.s. FAQ and charter. And you flame me ? What is your TEN screename btw ? What is the world turning into ? -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

> You must not know ymenard and how he acts around here then. > Damn near everyone hates him on NROS. > If you want some examples. I could probably post several HUNDRED. I'm not > kidding either. Well I dare you to post those hundreds of names, I've been in the chat rooms on TEN with Ymenard a bunch of times, he has his opinions (like'em or not), but I don't see many such comments when he leaves, and those few I _have_ seen are from people that I respect a _lot_ less than Ymenard I don't usually judge people, but for someone who jumps into something like this only to post derogatory comments about someone, and claiming to have the support of the "whole TEN community", I'm going to make an exception, "wallacefan" Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy
No, but it means you can't always find the right exact word that expresses your thought. I ment "Xenophobic". I wrote "racist". Here in Quebec we've been called "racists" quite a lot for our position in the linguistic debate. Maybe that's why I confused the two terms. A. Renault
