Kester Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I never said he did. However he did align his comments to someone who did. It really isn't that tricky.....aithough for some it appears it is!!! What utter nonsense, it's perfectly possible to align with an element of someone's opinion and not all. You really do like starting arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't that tricky.....aithough for some it appears it is!! To avoid further confusion it may helpful if John distanced himself from WIE-JA's cretinous remarks Thought this was a forum where people could voice their opinions - even you - I must have missed the part where freedom of speech was to be closed. Instead of trying to be a smart ar*e how do you arrive at the little gem "Anyone is faced with financial ruin is deserving of our sympathy" when a) It has been totally self inflicted by their own self interests They were trying to close down a long running business and causing others ruin c) allegedly lied through their teeth do so - the Judge has even ordered that they repay compensation previously awarded, what does that tell you -and in your opinion they deserve sympathy? You appear to be a sadly deluded individual my friend. Kev 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kester Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 So is it really that tricky to say that you don't believe that these people should be put to death? So you're assumption is that unless I explicitly state that I don't want them to be put to death then I must actually want them to be put to death? I'm afraid that you're still talking drivel.

You appear to be a sadly deluded individual my friend. Kev I was making the point that in open forum that I find it offensive for someone to post that a couple should be put to death, because they hold contrary views to those that post on here. I firmly and passionately believe in freedom of speech, but as with all freedoms that comes with responsibilities. To suggest that two individuals should be killed because of their beliefs, is at best distasteful...but is really cretinous and moronic. I have made my position quite clear. I think the couple were poorly advised, and as a result are, by the sounds of it, financially ruined. However there appears to be those who delight in this couple's discomfort and misfortune, albeit that it may have been as result of their own misguided actions. I hate triumphantilism in all forms. I hated it when a local resident closed down Elfield Park, and celebrated the event with a "victory party". Earlier there was a similar situation when the old Brooklands Stadium was shut. On this occassion the law has fallen down on the side of motorsport, which is certainly something to celebrate. However I find it distasteful in the extreme that we use this an excuse to revel in the misfortune of others, in exactly the same way as those in the past have celebrated that they closed down the speedway. If this is being sadly deluded, then deluded I am!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is being sadly deluded, then deluded I am!!! My first reaction when Phil K told me the news by text that the couple were financially ruined was 'good'. I regret that. But you seem to be making out that they are blameless victims when nothing could be further from the truth. As I have said, to get to their house you cannot possibly miss the stadium so they must have known it was there. Wouldn't you have thought that they might have enquired what it was used for ? Then they chose to attempt to severely restrict the use of a facility for virtually their benefit alone, regardless of the thousands (and if you go to the stock cars, it is thousands) that gain a great deal of pleasure from the sports that are held there. In anyone's terms, that's bloody selfish. True, they might have had some shyster of an estate agent who lied about the use of the stadium or a bent lawyer who told them they would win the case. At the end of the day, though, it was their choice to live there without making sure that it was suitable and their selfishness that prompted the court case. In other words, they have only themselves to blame. I, too, regard 'truimphantilism' with distaste. However, I don't have a great deal of sympathy for those who are the masters of their own downfall. Whatever the case, the court's decision is absolutely correct and I can honestly say that my soft spot for Mildenhall Speedway as a whole does not affect that view in the slightest.

Steve Irving Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) But you seem to be making out that they are blameless victims when nothing could be further from the truth. Not from what I've read he hasn't. His point is more to do with a quite horrible comment from a poster that unbelievably was liked by a couple of other idiots, (which thankfully has now been removed), and the rather distasteful comments and celebration of a couples likely financial ruin. Yes they were foolish, yes they have obviously been very badly advised by people who have let them down, and yes they should have done their homework before taking on the property. I personally find it all a bit sad and the comments on this thread disappointing. I've been away from this forum for a few years for one reason or another, but I always remembered it as a fun place to be where light hearted banter was as bad as it got. I'm dismayed by the nastiness, bitterness, and vitriolic comments that seem to have infested the BSF and it's sad to see a once great forum go down the toilet. It surprises me little that most of the posters I remember from a few years ago, are no longer seen on here.

It surprises me little that most of the posters I remember from a few years ago, are no longer seen on here. I can't disagree that the main thrust of his comments is against some of the remarks here. However, his only comment regarding the couple is that they have been 'poorly advised' . In truth your comment of 'foolish' nowhere near hits the mark, either. They were viciously selfish - they wanted the stadium severely restricted for the own ends, regardless of the fact that it was there when they arrived, regardless of the thousands who get pleasure from it, regardless of the owner who paid a reported seven figure sum for it and regardless of those who are employed there. While I share Snacky's view that some of the comments are unnecessary, as I have said I have very little sympathy for those whose own grasping and self interested actions have proved to be their own downfall.

Too many people on here have had their speedway removed from them by the zealous nature of residents and councils.

Anyway can't wait to see Cameron Heeps in action at Mildenhall this season, at least he can start from the begining this season ! great addition to the national league........ (that should do it) ......... I expect Heeps to be the National Leagues top rider this year. Riding PL with Ipswich will help him along to the next level. Awesome talent.
