Starman2006 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Jon Cook said, "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." That's where I got my quote from. Which word? The words he used to describe fans or the word Middlo used to describe fans? Is it stupid, biased or retarded you take offence to? You really do think your something else don't you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 No you didn't, don't try to wriggle out of it. Cook never said he was a retard, YOU DID.Retard is a synonym for stupid. Oh and it's the word Middlo has used on Twitter twice. If I should have to delete my thread then he should be hauled up in front of the BSPA for using the word. The word that you and starman defended him using. You see, you need to remember what you have defended in the past to know when you're being hypocritical about someone else using it.

semion Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 SCB words are now deflecting the main issue here. Cook dubbing fans Thick. Well Cook has had a good living out of Thick people. The guy takes the p155 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 You really do think your something else don't you.No. Now answer my question. Which word should I be banned for? And think carefully here because if it's stupid or biased then Cook should be hauled up in front of the SCB and suspended and if it's retard then Middlo should be. You can't defend bother of them and then condemn me, not without making yourself look stupid anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 This thread just proves how easy people get offended these days especially when they interpret the word in an old context and not how its generally used these days. Words evolve like 'sick' for example, nowadays it means something is good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't defend anyone that calls someone a retard, so don't bring untruths into this to suit your case. You have gone too far with this and you can't dig a hole big enough to get out of it. Quit while your so far behind. Most people on here have a sense of respect and decorum, unfortunetely in too many cases you don't.

Jon Cook has lost any I had for him when he called people stupid for wanting to know about the heat leader list. I've also said before, I couldn't give two hoots if people on a speedway forum respect me or not. In fact it suits me that people who think Jon Cook and Matt Ford are beyond criticism don't respect me. It means in not grouped together with two deplorable people.

Alan_Jones Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 But he's not wrong Alan, regardless. I'm afraid he is. He hasn't noticed that Shawn isn't trying to wriggle out of anything but stoutly defending his corner. As for your contribution it's a case of "Promoter's Gang Member in Closing Ranks Shock". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 John Cook is obviously very very dumb, something i always suspected. Insulting fans is not really the best business plan i have ever come across... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity, to get attention and stand out, you don't acquire a degree of respect when trying to present your views. Somebody makes comments in a uncomplimentary fashion like you would, and you have to resort to what is a horrible utterance to call somebody for doing what you usually do. End Of.

Gemini Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Retard is a synonym for stupid. When did the word 'Retarded' ever officially get used to describe someone born mentally disabled? I agree with SCB that it's just a derogatory word used for a stupid person. Back in Joseph Merrick's day when he was in the Leicester Hillcrest Workhouse, on the census people were regularly described either as an 'Idiot' or an 'Imbecile'. They sound much more insensitive words to me. Anyway carry on with this lively discussion as I'm not 'discusted' yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I understood Middlo had been taken to task for his use of unacceptable language on Twitter. I hope the mods on here do the same to you SCB. Just accept that you crossed a line - whether others in officialdom feel Jon Cook has as well is up to them to determine and take the necessary action. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
