He called SCB thick for being able to devise a way of working out weighted averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Do we know if the comment "Grading of heat leaders was done by common consensus of the EL promoters via an open poll and anyone thinking that's wrong is either thick or biased, or both." attributed to Jon Cook are correct, or have been taken out of context yet, before we take this topic any further?

Sings4Speedway Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you don't agree you're either thick or biased, or both. No xmas bonus? I normally enjoy your posts and the plot of this thread may be relevant but the title of it is disgraceful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Isn't it funny, I throw back Jon Cooks quote at him and it's " totally out of order", "A complete insult", I should be banned and I should justify the comments. Normally I would agree, but as I have just taken Jon Cooks disgusting comment to show how terrible they are. For the record, anyone who has discussed or questioned the heat leader list, Jon Cook thinks you're "thick or biased, or both". Justify both your topic title & how you can include everyone on this forum with the statement you have made. When Jon Cook justify his comments that I am, "thick or biased, or both" then I'll justify mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace it with Idiot, Joke, laughing stock then I will agree with what you say but whilst you continue to use inappropriate language you point of view will continue to be over shadowed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanF Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I was stunned when I read John Cook's comments in the Star. Alienating your customers like that is unforgivable. I have long thought Promoters should embrace the fact that fans are spending time discussing the sport rather than whining about it. If that is what they think of their customers, no wonder so few attend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thread should be closed on the grounds that we already knew this! British Speedway promoter treats fans with contempt. What a shock. This bloke is the sort of crook that has ruined the sport over here over the past 20 years. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Don't see what the big issue is? A speedway forum is exactly where you should be able to insult the great and the good . It's not as if the BSF is a goverment body ffs. If the guy can dish it out he should be able to take it. The Heat leader list being the result of concensus is the WORST possible way to work out anything. You don't have to be thick or biased to see that. In fact you'd have be thick or biased to think concensus is the right way to set out out the fundamentals of team building. I'm sure Jon Cook is a big boy. * Plus point At least I can look forward to the Star this week.

Grachan Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I read John Cook's comments in a post on this forum. I haven't seen Speedway Star. The comments attributed to him were so outrageous I even had doubts they were genuine. Very foolish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkafag Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Any kind of ban would be absurdly hypocritical given that this thread is actually talking about a relevant speedway issue while parody accounts can run amok on this forum and basically destroy it. The comments from Cook are inane at best, and insulting to people who fund the sport at worst. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 If they did this by the means suggested, then obviously you would expect every single promoter to be biased in his own direction. Obviously. And therefore you are assuming or hoping that this bias is cancelled out by the other votes. In a league with only 8 teams, and with each promoter having (different) imperfect information, this can't possibly be the case. Wide open to abuse.

Woz01 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Cook has insulted many on this forum, the very people that turn up week in week out, sponsor riders and do voluntary work within the clubs. He should be reprimanded for his comments. What is funny is they actually used voting to sort the heatleader list, no one would use biased opinion in a vote would they?
