I enjoy how the site transitions from Stoner to Roger. The two most taboo things on this site.

When you think about it .... they were pretty similar ...... they both grabbed their bat and ball and went home!

oh and is this race thread worthy?

Hate to see Aaron lose but well deserved long time coming for Troy. He's a solid dude. Looks like another Adelaide area boy. He was quick this weekend but couldn't beat the goat. Not that got a different goat. Not that one either. The south african mountain goat.

Roj didn't leave. He got pushed.

Oh horseshit. You've never met the man. Nobody's ever pushed Roger around.

I never said Rog never took things Personal Kesh so don't link me there, what I do say is that Rog could debate and did not take everything as an attack as he was capable of seeing points.

Was he thin skinned - well yes in the early years of my time here as he was one of the Rossi fans at a time when the guard was changing to other riders being competitive, and he simply saw everything as a question or taint on Rossi but no way was he the most think skinned (a certain Queenslander comes to mind as far worse in that aspect, and others since come and gone).

Having never met him I will not judge Rog on a face to face but will say that as someone who often disagreed with him, we had some very good discussions (forum and occasional PM) and not once did I find that he could not take it, but that if dished then he would return serve and sometimes with interest.

Rog is not, was not and for me never will be the worst person or contributor we have had to this place be that as a troll or as a person unable to accept criticism of their favourite and I would welcome his contributions which were at times well worth the read.

I actually say this as Rog was a Brit with a rampant anti-Aussie sense which led to some hefty and robust chats and being an Aussie I was one that copped it in spades, but never took it personally and never felt it was personal.

This place should be accepting of all and welcome all views where if we do not appreciate the manner than we skip past it and move on.

I regret my personal contretemps with Roger, who was a passionate and knowledgeable race fan and very valuable contributor.

He was vulnerable where his family was concerned; I know of very few people who are not.

Been in his company long enough to know he didn't like you very much.

Rog, decent guy, met him in Valencia 06 maybe the first forum meet up?
Don't know why he left or who was getting to him but there shouldn't be any of the same behaviour to others.

Meh .... its their own doing ..... someday they have to face the fact that all the crap they post has been totally based on Rossi looking good ..... and then reality must hit them like a runaway train.

Don't get me wrong ..... I liked rog being here ..... he made me look good.

Come to think of it .... talpa was a bag of fun too .... wonder whatever happened to him? He was another who was good reference material like rog. ie. If they said it was true then the total opposite was reality.

There are a descent amount of member who still communicate with Rog and other former great members on a regular bases. I assure his opinions of certain members hasn't changed. Bonnie and Rog will always be missed but will never come back.

If he doesn't want to come back, he doesn't want to come back.

Good luck to him and his family. As I said, I appreciated his passion for, and knowledge of, the sport.

It would be great to have him back. Everyone here admits that and I think that is great. He truly added life to the site.

The feeling was mutual. It doesn't bother me, any more than it would if someone told me Donald Trump doesn't like me.

Rog is the Casey Stoner of this forum! Liked by most, others didn`t agreed with him, he quit the forum and never came back.

Holy smoke, you want Donnie to like you?
If he tweeted that he didn't like me I'd be over the moon!

Read again. I said I was equally indifferent to any potential animosity coming from Rog or Trump. I think enough bandwith has been wasted on this long dead topic. I don't lie awake at night thinking about Rog, and I'm sure the same could be said for him. He and I have moved on. No reason to autopsy this subject any further. It's old news. If I absolutely had to choose between them, I'd rather have Rog on the forum.
