look IR, i'm gonna take issue with this because you just can't delete every damn thing that offends. it's an opinion, & a funny 1 at that. quit taking everything so personaly & just counter respond or ignore it or get mad or laugh or whatever. but don't ask to have something deleted just cause u don't like it. NO CENSORSHIP PLEASE!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Ooost @ Sep 11 2006, 09:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>This isn't meant to be taken in generalities but I feel sorry for everyone here who wants to have a go at Rossi, Pedrosa or another member simply because they are Rossi, Pedrosa or they support one of those riders. We were just treated to one of the greatest battles of the season and all people can do is piss and moan about how Pedrosa is a whiner or how Rossi isn't a good sportsman. Someone mentioned a while back that there has never been a Rossi/Pedrosa rivalry and it's all conjured up by the media. I buy into it now. They didn't even have an interaction this race weekend and everyone is pointing the finger at one or the other for being poor sports or whatnot.

The rest of you can debate who the better sportsman is all you want, I'm going to stick to the on track action, thank you very much.
good ole Ooost, always with the even hand. good advice. but u know how people are

interesting & on the money i think

well i just finished watching the race. was gone all weekend. excellent race between rossi & cappers, absolutly brilliant! i think pedders showed what he is going to need alot of in the future, grit, plain & simple. i was impressed. this ROOKIE will def be motogp champ in the near future. hayden..... well i figured him for 5th soooo... but still disapointing . what happened to marco? even more disaponting i think his chances are fading fast. good ride by gibbers. theres still hope for him yet i think. good ride by hopper too. come on suzuki come up with a decent package in 07!!! i must say it looks like edwards, tamada, elias their gonna be gone next season. just not even there. oh well on to the island!!!

did any of you check out the other classes race?? mainly the 125..
any one see that crash!?!

wow.

Yo guys!

Wow, what a weekend

Saturday sucked for those track side unfortunatley, it rained really really bloody hard! One minute its full of people, the next, everone is sheltering under the stands and motogp shops! heh. Who would have thought I would have needed to buy myself an umbrella?..............Donington yes.........not here!!!

Anyway, the good thing about qual being cancelled (and it was the right decision to do so), was that the pit lane walkabout was started just after the orginal time (4.15pm), as because of the rain, if qual had run the pit walk would have started around 6pm or so, which was too late as we had booked out taxi!!

The walkabout was cool, very busy though. Got a nice look into all the garages, didnt see any riders mind. Credit to LCR for sticking Casey's bike outseide of the box so fans could get some really decent pictures...........credit to D'antin for booting up one of the bikes just for the crowd..............bloody loud!!!!!!

Went to clinica mobile and was chating to the doc's their in broken Italian & English..........nice chaps. Mr Puig came out himself, didnt get time to take a pic, so guess dani was in their getting fixed up.

Very long day though - was good back at the hotel in KL as you could tell which guests had been to the race - we was told that the hotel was fully booked becauseof the GP.......which is good.

Race day was fab. It was a bloody hot day, we were sat in the JAM packed main stand, just across from the Tech 3 box, and Rossi's was right next to that, so we had maninly Rossi fans everywhere! (in fact I think 99% of the crowd was gunning for Rossi!). It was that hot we both got sun burnt (not as bad as assen mind!), even though we was in the shade all day - I cant work that out! We was sat next to some nice malaysian lads, who kept offering us their food throughout the day!

The atmosphere during the race was bloody electric, much better than any other race I've been too, maybe it was because we were in the stands? (never been in the grandstand before). We had a big screen right in front of us, which ment we missed none of the action..........and I'm bloody glad we didnt coz it was a cracker of a race, one of the best I've seen........but I think being there made it a lot better

Cant really say much apart from whats been said, the battle with Rossi & Loris was wicked, proper motogp racing. 5 star action all the way!

The only disappointment is there was no track invasion, I though the crazy people in the stands who had been jumping up and down for the race would have climbed the fences and got on the track, biut no one moved!!!!!!!!! I was all prepared to make a run for it!! heh

One thing I've never expericanced before at a live race is the start, and the noise that is ceated when the bikes ride togther at the start...........man - it was aweseome, it literally shake your body!

We've met some really nice gp fans - theres a bunch of us looking for a bar to watch the race live on Sunday which should be cool.

Ciao!

Viva motogp

Man, that was extreme racing. Bautista was too fast for Pasini who crashed out of impotence and that poor fella who simply didn't see Pasini's bike lying just there... but hidden by the ones riding in front of him.

Then Kallio's finesse wasn't enough to catch up with Bautista.

I'm not taking it personally, clearly, as I'm not Dani Pedrosa, it's not particularly funny, nor smart. Its just a really bad attempt to smear his name. And where did I say "Mods, delete this post"? I asked if the mods could check it to see if the content was acceptable.
So I should be allowed to say whatever I want? I could insult your mother? Express a wish for Rossi to break his neck? Say I hope that Gibbers injury doesn't get better and causes him lots of pain? Sometimes, censorship is necessary, like it or not.

Yeah, that post distilled bad taste, to say the least. Was he/she angry or something?

No, this isn't his first.... controversial, post. If he were a respected poster who overreacted, then I wouldn't ask the mods to check. But he has already before said something about how he hopes Dani crashes down the Corkscrew and breaks his neck, so its not just one off anger/release of stress.

yer over reacting a bit i think. u know none of these would be tolerated. but suggesting checking the post seemed to me asking for some kind of deletion. for a post thats not, imo, not so bad. had there been something along the lines of wishing for crashing or breaking of bones or pain of any kind, i would agree for some censoring. but it's yer opinion & yer entitled to it.

with regards to moderation you have to remember that if someone said something about a rider which was defamatory and they just so happened to check the site (you never know!) they could take legal action. if its allowed to be posted and the moderators leave it then its classed as being acceptable. today we live in a litigious society and its not unheard of for websites to be closed down because of content on there. there was an instance where a website for new mothers was shut down after some of the posters made comments about a book and the author took legal action and the site was closed. now the last thing we all want is this site to be closed and just bear that in mind when comments are made about riders which could be construed as defamatory.

wow... never thought of that. very good point matt. i do have a problem with censorship, that freedom of speech thing ya know, but then again u have to be careful i guess. but it't tough! were do ya draw the line?

thats it though isnt it frost.. where do you draw the line? no one wants to censor opinion on here but when it comes down to it its my bro who would be liable as the owner of the site and we'd lose a fantastic place to come and post our views. i just feel that people need to be aware of this fact especially as the site becomes more popular and we get a bigger member base. what may seem an innocent comment by one person can be seen as very offensive by another and it annoys me that people will sue these days at the drop of a hat. but thats the kind of world we live in today.. sad isnt it

Jeeezz man, I'd hate the idea of having legal barbarians inspecting some of the, I admit, ehem, crap that I write. I prefer being screened by the common sense of Ben, Dazza, Ooost and the rest of the people here.

I think that a forum is a place to write your opinions and whatever you fancy, even if is fictitious or simply untrue as long as you say it when queried. You'll find that literature, movies or publicity aren't factual but that's precisely why some of it is interesting.

I respect where others draw their line. Mine is that I can take anything in a forum, even haters, insults and blatant lies, as long as they are funny or try to be. But, hey, being obsesive about dark holes, human-generated gases and violence in any shape or form has many chances of ruining any post.
