d'kid
can't move right now
 
I think some guys understand the rules. Take advantage of the regular season. test, tune, Xperiement...do whatever you like. Just be around the Top 5. Sacrifice a few late rounds or wins in the early going and learn. Then put it all together in the Countdown. I have no problem with this.
 
You are correct it was, you can't call another member childish names. I have to ask a question, are you still in first grade?

I participate in several different message boards, not just involving drag racing. Hands down, you like to pick fights more than any moderator I've seen yet. Your first sentence above would have more than sufficed.
 
You could add the 1000' crap too! :p
I hate both but as long as the current people are running the show we will have to live with it! :mad:
 
DO NOT LIKE IT IN CURRENT FORMAT..... Would like to see "TRUE" playoff format.... workin on submittin that to the right people....:D
 
It is Greg when it is caught by a Mod. The last time I checked in your situation both participants were treated equally. The Mods can only be online so much and we don't catch everything.

That's bull. Protect your buddies. You don't think we can see what's going on?

Unfortunately the "right people" are not currently employed in positions of power in the NHRA.

This is really so simple to fix if you decide you must have a playoff for whatever reason. Just limit the playoff participants to 8 and put them on the same side of the ladder throughout the "playoffs". The other side of the ladder would be composed of the non playoff cars. This isn't rocket science. In no other sport that I know of does the season champion get there by possibly,and almost certainly, playing off against non playoff entities.

As I said earlier you won't be seeing the Giants playing off against the Lions or the Bengals this year in the NFL. I also note the baseball playoffs did not include the local team from D.C. or the team from up the road, Baltimore.

What the hell? What's the difference between the statement and the question? How is that not insulting another member?

See Bill Huseth's post above.

How about this guy be suspended for a few days? Permanently as a moderator would be better, IMO.

Hey Ron, the original post was edited to remove the slam at another member. Do you think it is appropriate for another member to resort to name calling? I asked a simple question. This is my way of ensuring the member knew he was in the wrong for posting what they did and I wanted to drive home the point it was not appropriate for doing that. You must be bored if you are trying to make something out of this. Enjoy the last day of the holiday weekend. If you would like to discuss this further please do so in a PM as I did with Bill.

You insulted him with your inflamatory "first grade" comment and you did it right here for the world to see, not in a PM. I didn't see the earlier post and as Bill said, what you said first was sufficient. We need a separate report button up in the corner to report when a moderator attacks members. If I click report now, how do I know you won't be the one getting it?

Now you reply by trying to minimize my opinion with your "bored" comment. Boy, I never saw THAT coming! :D One more reason why you shouldn't be a moderator, IMO. You tried to put the focus on me and away from your attack with another attack. I'm actually fairly busy but, when I'm on here on break, not so busy that I can't notice such obvious contradictions.

What did you and I go around and around about a long time ago? You telling someone they had a right to their opinion just before personally attacking them for HAVING their opinion? Haven't changed a bit.

You must not even realize what you do?

Being outspoken isn't always that appreciated, huh? :)

Here, I'll offer the olive branch and get the thread back on topic, Paul. Where's your usual "Like it or not folks, the Countdown is here to stay." stuff? :D Looks to be about nine to one against.
