Well, here's what I have to say...

"Same post different title." "I think he just wants attention." I say ban him?
I'm sure he didn't even write that!

 

I'm not going to read through all of these post's, but here's my .02cents....



There is not one person on this board that hasn't done something that caused an unexpected outcome, maybe in racing (maybe not). I wouldnt take too much of the stuff said here to heart. If you are out there giving literally everything you have and unfortunately something happens, that was not anyone's fault (nobody wanted to crash, and it was not the intent) there isn't much you can do. Your job is to win races and championships, same for Dane and Taylor (who was just unlucky enough to be in the wrong spot).... In the heat of the moment right after something like that things get said that are "off the cuff" and sometimes not really said with the right thought behind them ( seeing red still.....)

Make your peace with your comments in private with Dane and Taylor and let the Beeb be damned! You can't make everyone happy (especially here where it is full of people unable to be fully satisfied with anything)

 

At least Josh had the courage to post up under his actual name.

 

I say let it go. He has apologized and been penalized.

(He get's paid to race motorcycles, not commit prose to page, so whoever pays might have had a hand in writing the post. Who cares? Just the other day you guys were suggesting he needed someone to handle his online affairs, now he is a bad guy for maybe doing what you want?)

 

Well, the semicolon is not used correctly. A comma is needed to separate the introductory element "That said" from the main clause. There are other errors in the message, as well. I'm just pointing out that your assertion that the message was written by a professional because of its stellar use of written language is incorrect.

Just saying'. . . .

 

Thanks for doing that Dave. That gets real annoying when it happens in every thread. I was going to suggest that it become the latest bannable offence.

 

numerous points of view of Josh's post, and all have some credability. He wrote it, didnt write it, semi-apology, not sorry, etc etc.

I for one am willing to move forward, and let Josh's future actions speak for themselves.

Lets just see what the future brings?....this could all be contributing to the making of a future champion....or not....It really is up to him.

 

:up:
I just read this after my post above.

 

Sometimes the "ins" and that crap is rather funny but not here. The dude came on here and made a good faith effort to correct some perceived dumb assery on his part. That's cool as a mother f@ck to me.

Now back to the In, outs and all abouts: Just because you can shit on you kitchen table, geniuses, doesn't mean you should.

 

Enough said. Time to move on.

 

Oh yeah, this'll work.

 

The new "in" policy is gonna get some folks.

 

My EXACT thoughts.

You know what people say about "go with your first instinct, because it is usually right"...sort of the same thing goes with people's immediate reactions (or actions) in this case.

Yes, there is something to be said with being in the "heat of the moment". But i wouldnt necessarily call remarks that are made hours and even days later as still being "in the heat of the moment".

Typically somebody's first reaction, comment etc is how they truly feel. Then later, when the team/PR guy/parent/sig. other comes in for damage control, we get something like the original post.

Professor, if you read a broad variety of today's "professional" writing, you may come to the same conclusions I have. Editors and proof readers make up a HUGE portion of the unemployed. Maybe even the unemployable.

 

What I think of the PR matters as much as my choice of donut in anyone else's life. I have my opinions on the matter, but one thing I think I dig is the non-apologetic posture Josh takes. I'm not saying its right, but standing by your actions be they right or wrong in someone elses eyes is a measure of one's character.

In short, if he feels he's right, then don't back down on your position for the masses. I've been on the unpopular side of opinion, and i'll be damned if I back down just because the masses disagree with me.

 

And you know what? Fugg it. The sport could use another 'bad boy' in it. Fugg what you clowns think.

 

The kid personally attacked me on my FB page and I let it go 10 minutes later. You all should do the same. Did you all just get your white playa hatin plates or what?
