Hey man,
Don't know when I will really be able to enjoy it as I am not able
currently to do a hardware upgrade but I just want to thank you for a kick
ass car. I would like to get the psp file, if you post it on the website I
will grab it. Thanks again in advance.

Flame warThanks for a car paint job sparks Simmons-redTed exchange
McWhom publicly thanked John Simmons for a car paint scheme, prompting redTed to tell him to search Simmons's past posts. The exchange became a trade of insults between redTed and Simmons. Goy Larsen and Tony Rickard defused it with Monty Python jokes, and another driver praised Simmons's help.
Automated summary.

There is without a doubt a group here that have problems with John. I
suppose if you look around you will find where I have done things that was
considered unreasonable and there are poeple out there that would jump at
the chance to get back at me.
Does that mean that people I meet today should be told about what I have
done in the past so they can also hate or abuse me?
You never know, I may be more like John than you care to consider :-)
I will take my personal experience with John as my guide.
Besides, the actions of the people (in rascar) that were working their own
agenda against John have shown their own bad side.
My Opinion:
DaveGF, does not think he makes any driving mistakes. No matter how many
people point out an error he makes, Dave does not make any driving
mistakes.
Mitch, Basically a reasonable enough seeming guy. Definite issues with
John, so much so that he brought this latest arguement to ras to get the
help he needed to fragment and destroy rascar. Resorts to personal attacks
against me, makes unfounded desparaging remarks about me because I disagree
with his tactics and publicly support John. In fact, he made negative
personal statements about EVERYONE that supported John.
John, Opinionated, overbearing, forceful, able to argue a point without
resorting to personal attacks, unwilling to change his mind on issues he
cares about, not unwilling to admit to mistakes.
I can deal with a stubborn s.o.b., hell, I am one. I can also admit to my
mistakes without having to change my opinion. I like what I like and I want
what I want.
This whole issue that has been fought out here is about personalities, not
racing. I don't really care, I love a good debate. Some of you may have
noticed that :-)
I am done with sim racing for now more because I have determined that my
system just cannot handle the framerate needed for me to be able to drive
well online. I will still read this group as I have now become interested
in many of the topics and people. I would expect you will soon find me in
the flight sim group as well as I have several of those games and am
currently loading them up.

So you didn't take a look on Google.
JS never resorted to personal attacks, he started with them. Many, many
times. Abusive, vulgar and bigoted. Not traits I admire in a person. If you
do, then good luck to you.

You are certainly allowed your opinion and I will accept your point that he
has acted poorly in the past. I *will not* act based on his past actions
that I have no personal experience with.
Hell, even murderers are given a chance to change their ways.

That's the flaw that keeps democratic majority rule from being all that it's
cracked up to be. It depends on the "honestly" expressed will of
"informed" people and when the majority of the people are a bit dim . . .
well you know how it goes from there. ;o)

That's it right there, pretty much in a nutshell.

Well, people don't need to be told. They see one or two people
getting jumped on, and they assume that the person being jumped on
must be the local whipping boy, so it's automaticaly okay to join in
on the fun.
> You never know, I may be more like John than you care to consider :-)
Now THAT is a scary thought... :)
> I will take my personal experience with John as my guide.
And now you need serious professional help... :)
Yep. I've NEVER seen Dave amake a mistake on the track. It's warp,
really! I actually submitted an idea to Mattel to produce a Dave
Fisher action figure, but they didn't think today's parents would let
their kids play with a toy that bears a striking resemblance to a
fresh turd.

Mitch used to get along with me. Check the Google Groups. The proof
is there!

That was a touching tribute. I think you should stop now. You're
making me tear up. :)
I would include a translation of my response for redTed's benefit,
but it's really too much trouble to just type it all the way out.
However, through the marvels of modern technology, I can easily
compress it down to something even his limited intellect can focus on
long enough to read it:
"duuuuuuhhhhh"

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,

And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And reolving at nine thousand miles an hour.
It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at fourteen thousand miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars;
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
We go 'round every two hundred million years;
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can whiz;
As fast as it can go, that's the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!

I actually like John. Never met him, but I have his website as my
homepage. He has helped me out a great deal in the online racing, and
has personally taken time out of his personal life to work with me. He
also has helped out many a peep with all of his paintjobs. There
aren't too many that do it, and he has fun and puts a lot of time into
his work. It is nice to see someone so non-p/c for once. Life is so
boring now with all of this p/c crap. He speaks his mind, which is
usually the truth, just others are afraid or don't care enough to
mention it.
Am I biased towards John...absolutely. We are fellow Texans and live
not too far from eachother. If John hunts, I would hunt with him. If
John fishes, I would fish with him. He has dogs and a harley or two.
He's a normal guy. Probably just like a lot of us. He just likes to
speak his mind, and some folks get turned off about that. That's ok in
my book. I live in a heavily Baptist neighborhood, and I enjoy nothing
more than drinking beer in my driveway Sunday mornings when everyone
is headed off to church. I use poison to kill anything I don't want
living in my yard and I chew and spit tobacco wherever I feel like it.
Possibly, some folks don't like me, but they don't post it in a
newsgroup to make themselves feel better.
Go ahead and spew your thoughts and feelings about John....or
McWhom...or myself. I'll stand by John all of the way, except when he
is operating dangerous power tools.
Dave
BTW - I don't really have John's webpage as my homepage...that would
be too freaky.
