Would you agree, that in life, ........ generally wiin?
I think we are seeing this in spades in UK, and American politics.
While I agree with your assessment of life, you should never embolden the ........, and let them win. Everyone here knows that Keshav is an ......., yet you all feed him.
You and Michael M have great takes. I don’t understand why you two blokes, find the need to interact with him, given his history.

Whether you have reason to be offended in the past matters not when the saying goes that two wrongs will not make the situation right.

Your takes on actual bike racing aren’t half bad either when you choose to actually talk about motogp on what I believe is a motogp forum. I prefer to read such posts rather than endless monomaniacal diatribes against Keshav., particularly stuff that is factually incorrect such as that he has never ridden a bike, attended a race meeting or met up with anyone on the forum.

I could ask the reverse of your question, if you find Keshav so distasteful why do you not ignore him yourself ?.

Not a bad idea in theory to have a control tire but to me it gives Dorna the power to manipulate results. I actually said on here 10 years ago that the way to stop Stoner would be to take away his preferred hard tire which they eventually did, although not because they read my posts on this forum I am sure.

I don’t think they are unhappy about results being mixed up by the tire lottery with the tires which are available either.

I'd like to see them add carcass options at least. I'm not sure how that would work. Maybe a team or rider could request a hard or softer carcass and be stuck with that option for the weekend. Not sure, but the control tire sucks. Each year it is different and benefits different teams. You spend an entire season on something testing and racing to come up with next years bike only to have the tire change once the season starts. It is ridiculous.

Cheers Michael
Everything that I have said about Keshav, has been true.
The more I research old threads, it’s obvious that he’s been the forums biggest troll.
Why do you give him a pass for being such a ......?
Does it not bother you, that you treat such a horrible person with normality and respect.
Like I said before, I am only being a .... because this is how he treated me when I first came to the forum, with nothing but race takes. As I recall, You didn’t stand up for me back then.
Make him apologize to me and I will abort this behavior.
I already know the answer. He won’t because his massive ego won’t let him, And you will continue letting him be, a unchecked ....

My point was that what you have been doing is more disruptive than pretty much anything any other poster is doing/has done on this forum, and as has been said and which you have pretty much admitted is a personal agenda which makes you a selfish prick yourself.

I do remember the history of this forum and regret the loss to the forum of several fans of both Valentino Rossi and the sport, in which I may have played some part particularly in regard to Roger M.

My sympathies were not with Keshav in regard to what was reported about the LS 2008 meet up, but Keshav didn’t bring that to the forum and Roger leaving was eventually related to something said about his kids by another poster. If you actually were at LS 2008 or are a friend of people who were there then what you are doing is pretty much the definition of trolling since you have been trying to get a rise out of Keshav by baiting him with stuff you know to be untrue.

In which case I will ignore you like everyone else and warm myself with the thought that you are talking to yourself to no purpose.

2008 was 13 years ago btw.

I haven't been here long.
I am a long time motoGP fan though, since the mid 80s.
I come here to read motoGP insights and discussion.
Pointless interpersonal cat fights are of no interest whatsoever.

I don't think I can be bothered interacting with a completely unmoderated forum.
Tossers are prevalent enough in all walks of life.
Giving one freedom to post negative, spiteful ..... continuously makes the place pretty unattractive.

Just ignore is about the best you can do imo it seems.

According to the latest post by Duc, he’s banned Albert.

I have never asked for anyone to be banned, or blocked anyone either, in a way I consider same to be giving into such people, but a whole page of old threads bumped to no purpose when you login was a bit much, particularly given absolutely no one else had any interest in his beef with Keshav.
