Ya know, a few of us were talking at a rally this past weekend and I was a bit surprised when they suggested you were little more than a shit-disturbing troll. "[jvl] posts what he posts just to get a rise out of you" said one, with others nodding. I defended you, and strongly questioned the idea that you would put the effort into trolling as much as they suggested you do. On reflection, and in the context of the quoted post, I see they're right. So, troll away - with it all in perspective now I wont bother taking the bait anymore.

Pooooooor little who ever you were talking to. Seems you and your friends are soooooo sensitive that a light throw away comment, the merest gentlest of pokes is regarded as "an attack'.. What insulated, protected and soft lives these people must live in.. Are the the same ones pouting about "If an event doesn't have 2 pass recce then I'm not going"? I find those making those kinds of "reasoning" only reasonable if those making the observation thinks it a viable idea, ie they themselves do or have done the thing they have "reasoned" forth...a form of "projection". Is it because it's a vestigial "cowboy culture" that you guys up there seem so ready to instantly find offense and look at everything in the whole fawkin world as an affront that demands a vigorous defense? --even to the most innocuous, out the corners of the mouth little statements? Cause it sure seems to be a lotta chips on a lotta shoulders. John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!

Oh, Adam. Don't confuse my statement that 'I won't bother taking the bait' as any indication that I don't intend to continue participating on the forum. Far from it. It just means that when John posts shit that is only intended to mock a previous statement or position, I won't bother defending it since he's ONLY doing it to get a rise out of me.

OIC. I've taken the step slightly further, I simply don't acknowledge/respond to him period. It's like I've used my mental ignore feature (hard to find sometimes). |

Right on cue. Nobody said anything about feeling 'attacked.' All I learned was how universal it was that people just dismissed your trolling for what it is. What I had characterized as 'bullying' before (Seen above in 'Pooooooor little who ever') is really just baiting. Again with the misrepresentation - Nobody's pouting about not going to events if they don't have 2 pass recce. Far from it. We're all in this for fun and some are saying without 2 pass recce, it isn't fun enough for them to enter the event. No 'demands' to add recce, other than 'voting with their entry' or lack thereof.' As much as you tend to read non-existant intent 'between the lines' of just about everything, I had mis-interpreted your snide comments as having more 'intent' than to simply 'wind people up.' But that's the thing. When you're actually out at a rally, chatting between stages, there just aren't any chips on any shoulders. Particularly from the newbies - a ton of smiles and laughter and 'that's amazing.' Damn... I fell for bait again!

Actually Morison this may come as an enormous, soul shattering shock to you, but comments I make are not directed to you unless you are the person addressed.* You, again this is probably going to cause serious trauma---are NOT the center on the North American Rally Axis--- But luckily, the filthy Conservatives have not completely ruined everything in Canada, so you can doubtless under your Provincial Insurance get all the Freudian therapy you will need FOR FREE! when the immensity of these statements sink in... *so when I make throw away comments in a obviously peripheral manner to a person looking for information on building a car---you are not a builder---or an engine--you are not an engine builder---or suspension --and you are not a suspension builder--- THERE IS NO NEED OF YOUR opinions or "insight" or comments since your opinions don't matter on any of those things.

As a side note: This will be 10 of the past 13 years there has been some snow somewhere on this weekend and it will be every year for the past 4, I think, that we've had 6" or more somewhere on route. Last year was the first in four years that we got all of our planned stages in without loosing any to snow coverage. (as in we couldn't get course cars or ambulances through in some cases and wouldn't be able to get anyone through in others) First Rally: 2001 Driver (7), Co-Driver (44) Drivers (16) Clerk (10), Official (7), Volunteer (4) Cars Built (1), Engines Built (0) Cages Built (0) Last Updated, January 4, 2015 ![]()
