In my forums, we will talk about racing.

There will be one forum to talk about general non-racing stuff, and one to give feedback on the forums to me. The rest of it is racing.

In my forums, we will not talk about our dislike for certain people, be they political figures, religious figures, forum members, etc., and we will not defend political figures, religious figures, forum members, etc., from attack, no matter how unwarranted, as that simply drags us down into the muck -- and will be deleted anyway.

The one notable exception to this rule is racing drivers and personnel, about whom open dialog on their talent, abilities, fan-friendliness, etc. is fair game on my racing forum.

If you post a message in my forums about your hatred of all things Hillary Clinton, I will delete it. If you post a message in my forums about how much you detest another forum member, I will delete it. If you post a message telling the world that President Bush is a criminal, I will delete it. If you post a message in response to a post similar to these three examples for the purpose of rebutting the original poster, I will delete it.

My forum is dedicated to racing. Specifically, ChampCar racing. It's not about politics. It's not about one-upsmanship. To put a point on it, it's not about you. It's about us. You are valued here as a member and contributor. However, you, and your opinions about others (be they positive or negative), are not more important than anyone else's opinions, and are most certainly not more important than the community as a whole.

I will strive, as I always have, to be even-handed with everyone, despite my personal feelings on any topic you post about. If you post that Gil deFerran is a classless idiot, I will grit my teeth and post a rebuttal, but I will not censor you.

Welcome to Off Camber. In my forums, we will talk about racing.

Gil de Ferran is a classless idiot.

There, I said it.

Now excuse me while I wash my mouth out with soap and ammonia. :(

but 1 other thing in seriousness, is Arooty and the shill crew fair game?

Kiwifan

07-01-03, 07:40 PM

Well said Boss. Just as I typed something similar last night the topic disappeared. I guess I'll have to type faster eh? :) :)

I remember several years ago when I first started posting it was all about racing with the odd joke thrown in but as the years slipped by it became more and more about one upmanship. My 'person' is better than yours, my 'series' is better than yours, my 'team', my ideals, my....and so it goes on.

Lets just drop the flag and go racin', well, that's why I'm here anyways, and to learn of course! :)

Take care, Rusty.

Good rules for a racing forum, IMHO...especially the part about how it isn't about the individual posters.

Welcome to Off Camber. In my forums, we will talk about racing.

The Boss also allows football talk during the season. And he didn't ban me last year for calling the Broncos "nags"! I sure the thought crossed his mind to give me a vacation for that one. (but deep down he knew I was right....)

Did I mention that the Boss is a Nags fan?

Carry on.
