Signing off

Its apparent to me, that Barack Obama has wielded his socialist ax over this publication. I thought forums were a place where one could speak his/her mind. It is now clear to me that if your opinion doesnt satisfy the status quo, you are labeled a troll and your posts and threads are hidden. Margorie, you seemed fair up til now. But since my posts are being deleted almost immediately, I can only assume that GRM is all about freedom of speech, as long as the webmaster and/or the discerning powers approve of the content. Just like everyone else in this country, you choose to please the squeaky wheels. I have a 10 year subscription to GRM. Please cancel it immediately. I would rather read Hitlers Mien Kamph. See you in December, when we clinch our second consecutive national title. This will be my last post. Nothing can be said to appease this bunch of self-rightuous, better than thou losers. Sorry it had to end this way. See yall in victory lane. Joedapro

Mike Akard . havent you been paying attention? I will respond to this thread tonite and tonite only. so get in your shots while you can

The only one taking any shots here is you. All you have to do is be nice and assume people are genuinely interested and not attacking you and, oddly enough, they will be. This is a great group, no-one has been taking any shots at you. We've tried to be nice, we've tried even to open up to you, and at every turn you talk back like we've insulted you.

You obviously are a great competitor. You've obviously had great success. I even think you've earned the success and maybe you deserve more press for it. Were you to share some of the innovation that lead to your success, help a few others here looking to improve their hardware and skills, everyone would appreciate it.

Your last thread, and I suspect this one too, didn't add anything of lasting value to the forum. While I understand your frustration, someone looking through the board archive a year from now won't learn anything from the thread, won't care about the outcome, and won't take away anything any of us want found by the Google spiders and showing up when someone types in your or Mike's name. Better to delete it early and keep fewer people from thinking ill of anyone, right?

You're new here, many of us have been here and known each other for years. Spend a little time getting to know us, learning who of us keeps a cool head and offers up advice you can respect and who doesn't, then you'll learn better when to actually get upset about something typed here. You're welcome to stay, and we'll listen, as long as you are willing to listen too.

OK I will try that. lets see how long it takes for me to be burnt at the stake.

What he said.

Holy crap, go! Leave! Your a moron, and your mean to a group of generally the nicest people on the interwebs, including the people who run the magazine. So, joedapro, stop acting like joedamateur, and leave already!

Obama and his socialist axe are at fault. Makes perfect sense.

I am sorry that you feel this way, but please realize that with in your first 56 posts (10 visible topics), you have done the following...

1) made statements that were inaccurate and libelous in this and other forums about GRM.

2) apologized for #1, but by doing so, brought it to light and upset a loyal fan base. To help you, some reached out to explain why others were angry while others just sharpened their knives further because of additional inflammatory comments.

3) you put others down as they had done to you because you felt that the intelligence was sub par in the off topic area. For example "And you guys slam me for weighing in on actual topics. You all sound like a bunch of of blabbering school kids, who wouldnt know a roundel from a flounder. And im the idiot? Yeah right. " With a lead in like that, what did you expect the response to be. YUP, YOU SURE ARE.

4) upset the spell checkers of the board. You have 2 options, let it go or use the spell check feature on the board. Because you responded as you did, it just fed fuel to the fire for their passion for you.

5) If the admin are deleting your posts as fast as they are going up, You may want to check the content. GRM does a great job to let us speak our minds, but we all take responsibility for our actions. With your less than steller choices made previously, I am not surprised if you are edited or removed. I would recommend that you take it up with the admin outside of this forum. With the following you are creating, it is not helping your argument but reinforcing their actions.

I could go on all night, but you are most likely no longer going to reply anyway. But if you are going to read this, you take the yourself far too seriously. This is a place for all fans of GRM to come and hang out with the other loose nuts (some looser than others) and share ideas. If we are not conforming to what you want to talk about, sorry.

Enjoy the new book, please take copious notes and have a nice day.

Good luck with the racing, hope you show us just how cool you are.

Is this a picture of you? I'd like to think not.

Seeyalaterbye.

Wait till Dr Hess sees that Obama runs the GRM boards

keep the gasoline and matches away from each other and you will be fine.

It's unfortunate that you use Obama or anyone else to blame for your shortcomongs. I shy away from political threads because of the strong emotions and trolls for the same reason. My introduction to you was your very public apology to GRM for bashing them on another Forum using misinformation.

As you head down the road I hope you take a deeper look at yourself and whatever is lacking in your life to cause this sort of behavior, I bid you Happy Trails and good luck getting along with others in the pit and on the track.
