Rob Swindells' real-world racing championship update
Rob Swindells posted standings from his real-world Jim Russell Supercup championship, in which he was tied for second. When one poster abusively told him to take it elsewhere, many regulars defended him, saying they enjoyed following a sim racer's progress in real racing.

See Rob go. Go, Rob, go.

he is. Never having raced karts, Rob has used racing SIMS (as in
rec.autos.SIMulators) to polish his driving skills. And unlike your
obviously submoronic attempt at sounding enlightened, most of us here like
to read Rob's progress reports.

practice in a sim can be a valuable training tool for racers.

Well, I prefer to think of the USENET groups I frequent as small
communities, and the chat that you have wanders on or off topic depending
on the way the winds are blowing. Seems a lot of us don't mind hearing
how Rob has taken his sim racing skills and put them to real use. A lot
of us do mind, however, when an anonymous, foul mouthed bozo drops in and
tries to tell us how to run our newsgroup.
Take yourself someplace else.

I'm with the other guys Mr.... SCGT, is it?

Cheers Ginger.......( GPL, Bowt NetterToDo )
So far I've counted 1(one) moron in this thread. His name's not Rob.......
You might relax a bit, or perhaps take your own advice. Have that keyboard
checked out while you're at it.
Cheers,
Steve B.
Whoops, I'm causing trouble :) Interestingly, the original message from Mr.
SCGT hasn't shown up on my browser...
Thanks to everyone for coming to my rescue! I'm truley touched :'o)

I'd rather here how Rob's doing than endure your foul mouthed whining.
Stop shouting, ask politely or STFU.

Actually we're just sucking up so we can get pit passes when you become
famous. Don't let us down, now. :-)
Cheers,
Steve B.
yes, indeed.
Go get'em Rob!

this arguement has come to the fore too often in recent times. It's
interesting to note that most of these objectionable people are the ones who
normally just lurk and/or have little of value to contribute as a whole
Mark
I don't think that Bernie actually gives the drivers many pit passes :)
They're all dished out to sponsors and stupid boxers who say "David
Schumacher" etc.. :o)

Oh, and by the way, you're probably in the minority on your opinion on Rob's
posts. I suggest you just skip them if you can't handle it...
