Alan is the Stuart Smally of the WERA BBS. Forging onward in an attempt to show Mongo how to get in touch with his inner child. Reach deep down, Mongo, and you can be the kinder, gentler BBS Admin Alan wants you to be. Or you can say fuck 'em. Guess which one I vote for?
Open letter to the whining crowd (no one in particular) Y'all should take this thread's ability to make to Page 2 as an indication of Mongo's tolerance for walking through a shit pit every day. Have you ever tried having a discussion the moderators didn't like on the "gentler, kinder," not-CCS-run CCS board? Hint: Brad Wilson's occasional racing is all CCS, but he keeps posting here between bans. And how quickly do you get an official response to your questions over there? My point is not so much to bash them (I raced many more CCS than WERA, because of my aversion to interstate driving ), but to point out that y'alls ability to whine online is a privilege you have failed to notice. I have said it before elsewhere but please allow me to now unleash again the most-feared weapon in the world, the WMD of the Internet: common sense. You (1) enjoy racing WERA, (2) hate dealing with the official online but for some strange reason (3) will not vote with your wallet and go elsewhere. (4) And of course the USPS delivers mail to your house, including WERA stuff. My question/suggestion then is: How about just going to WERA races (if you must), and staying off the damn BBS? I don't get it: most of the information you need from WERA is available elsewhere on the web site. What's missing is accessible by phone, with a better-than-0.75 probability of not talking to Mongo.
The few times I have caught a day time talk show brings this to mind: YOU DON'T KNOW ME YOU DON'T KNOW ME YOU DON'T KNOW ME with all the body movement of swaying back and forth and doing that finger pointing and talking to the hand crap
Re: Open letter to the whining crowd (no one in particular) Thank God someone knows how to spell "whine" whining whiner Enough with the whinning already!
I couldn't vote on this: While I don't agree with the way Mongo's response is intended to elevate the controversey, I wouldn't even be reading this BS if it weren't so damn entertaining!
More like 40 times.. A friend from Syracuse said last weekend 'you know I finally figured out when you Canadians are being polite, you're really just being sarcastic.'
The real world sucks. I want to go live in Mary's and Alan's world. Sean's willingness to moderate this BBS is nothing less than admirable. Keep up the good work. Walt Scarborough
He didn't use it in his last signature. (Need to import some of these dudes over to the NEAR List to liven things up!)
Yes, yes, yes, I'm here. Frederick (F) Farzanegan. Can anyone guess my vote? It really doesn't matter because the last time it was brought up, Sean admitted that he doesn't make any decisions.
I'll admit he does come off like a prick at times (like the Speedy Pete bashing a few days ago) BUT, when I've contacted him about business matters he has been professional and polite. Very polite. As far as I can tell, he be cool.
