Tsunami Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) no!! I'd much rather people say what they thought in all walks of like rather than be all PC As long it is fair and justified of course. Picking on one rider regardless of his score and team riding, when others do not find the same frequencies for complaints, is neither fair or justified. Ludde has a similar average to a few Diamond riders, so if he is 'so crap' to someone, then that someone has to accept he also must have big scores. When that person counters that with his recent 15 pt MAX, 'but it was only Plymouth full of reserves', one wonders why his complaints on here are not about why the other riders didn't have maximums, if the opposition was that pathetic. Hope Ian has thought through things said on here in reply. He does himself no good with his constant criticism.

But should also give credit where credit is due... why the hell does robbo not ride at #5?? ESP away from home?? Any particular reason?? We would have a much better balance in more heats if he did.... IMO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have a much better balance in more heats if he did.... IMO.... That's a different point. Criticising a rider for only scoring a 15 max against a poor side like Plymouth is not credible by anyone's standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 no!! I'd much rather people say what they thought in all walks of like rather than be all PC Unless of course one hits a nerve, which I clearly did with you with my unguarded comments re. a certain health service and horse riding people of N. American heritage. Not, believe me, a flippant comment, just a reminder that when someone gets a bee in their bonnet, they are prone to 'go in all guns blazing'. This forum has few enough 'regular posters' and for someone with 12000 plus posts to be cowtowed simply for posting a contentious opinion is IMO also a witch hunt. For gods sake, if we all on here played 'nicey nicey' the responses, if any, would do justice to something akin to a vicars' tea party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) no!! I'd much rather people say what they thought in all walks of like rather than be all PC and that's exactly what I did,,, Unless of course one hits a nerve, which I clearly did with you with my unguarded comments re. a certain health service and horse riding people of N.

And although I disagreed with you on that subject, I didn't call you names or anything, I just put my point back over?? with regards to the post at the centre of this controvesy,,, there was no-body being called anything,,, I may have implied things, I admit... but, on the other-hand, only 15 minutes later, on another thread I did call someone something, but bizzarly this seems to have gone un-noticed, yet,,, the other forum member actually replied to it,,, maybe it was closer to the truth, a dunno,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
