Tsunami Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) 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". You obviously don't know me Alan as i have no truck with John Cook, and never in my replies on this thread have I commented on what Cook said, only what SCB's reply was. Nice try at a deflection.

I don't think anyone's mentioned John Cooke yet. The artist, the naval captain or someone else. Nice try at a deflection. ...and to you for avoiding the main point of my post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Nice try at a deflection. Theres plenty of that on this thread. How about people focus on the fact that Jon Cook has called speedway fans "stupid" for wanting to know about the heat leader list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I haven't done the same thing, I don't have any fans to call stupid. Jon Cook has called speedway fans stupid and the Blackpool guy called Blackpool fans retards. As far as I'm aware I don't own or run a sport team to be calling it's fans stupid or retarded. by opening a thread calling Cook a 'r*tard' you have done exactly the same thing. When did the word 'Retarded' ever officially get used to describe someone born mentally disabled? it's my take its used as a derogatory term these days but it's certainly born from a medical term. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_disability 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsbane Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I couldn't give a flying who's right & who's wrong. What I do know is the ranks of the professionally offended are out in force. I've certainly been called it in the past, laughed and gave them one back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vs "late 15th century: from French retarder, from Latin retardare, from re- back + tardus slow."

damosuzuki Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Exactly, I don't wish Cook any ill but he's been an absolute idiot with these comments. He is also 100% wrong and deserves to know that people are angry about it. If you think someone on a fans forum calling him a name is more concern than an entire season run with teams forced to choose on the basis of Matt Ford having his fingers crossed behind his back, you truly must be very stupid.

Arson fire Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 by opening a thread calling Cook a 'r*tard' you have done exactly the same thing. it's my take its used as a derogatory term these days but it's certainly born from a medical term. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_disability Its derogatory to call someone with a mental illness it, but its in a totally different context i think here. Is calling someone who is being immature ' a child' derogatory to children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 If the heatleader list was a good idea and only the stupid or biased would object, why did it take the Star to leak it? And why not keep the averages secret as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I queried whether he had actually read it."anyone who thinks that's wrong..." Is clearly not referring to anyone who thinks the way it WAS done. But referring to the fact that anyone to disagrees with the way it was done is stupid. Many people have disagreed with the list this are in Cooks view stupid.
