[BDG]

If the Devils Advocate 583 is not Weeksy i apologise but if it is then i'll continue.

First of all, let me make this cyrstal clear this is only my personal opinion, and i've got absolutely nothing to do with Desmodue, the Management team, i have never raced on the track (just off road) and i'm pretty average at best on track days but...... either put up or shut up, and for fecks sake stop being a big kid and trying to stir things up.

You could have entered Desmodue if you so wished but you decided not to, i remember you also had a guest invitation to ride someone elses bike but declined.

I think it was you that surfaced with a complaint about a desmodue bike on the board. Whats it got to do with you when you're not involved, or why not go thru the proper channels.

As i haven't raced i take my hat to you for that, but i think you have 1 or 1 and a half seasons experience yet talk like that grand master Foggy. Give us a break please.

You resigned, why not keep it this way.

Rant over, i won't bother to reply or add any further comments and have tried not to be abusive.

Again if this is not Weeksy, i apologise most profusely.

If other members think i'm well out of order i'll willingly delete this post.


I notice that the post that prompted my reply has subsequently been deleted.

Mmm, biscuits, - jaffa cake anyone?? or maybe a chocolate mint digestive?? mmm

[DevilsAdvocate583]

yup DA583 is me... and no, i'm not in 'disguise'

neither of the other accoutns have permission to post any more... i doubt this one will be long.

I'm not going to get into the debate as i've been put in my place....

i just don't think a lot of what goes on in DD is very fair.

If you want more information we'll discuss via u2u.

p.s. please find where i have EVER on any of my accounts, bigged myself up of given 'Foggy syndrome' or even belittled anyone else out there.... you're simply wrong on that one...

i may have only raced for 1 season, but i've been involved in it for 5 years in different ways and am as you can see very opinionated.

IMO, rules are there and laid down for lots of reasons, they should not be changed, unless there's a VERY good reason... certinaly not because 'some is a good laugh on a message board'

The trouble is that rules are there to make things work ... and if you're trying something a bit different from everyone else ... then you cant just steal what everyone else does.
Therefore you have to make some rules up that go in about the right direction,a nd then be prepared to modify them to get them right, and then modify them again if you still get it wrong.

Nobody likes *stupid* rules, but ones that can be understood are acceptable (mostly) !

What you need in order to do all this is free and open communication between the people that have to live by the rules and the people who have to 'rule' on the rules.
Oh, and a sense of humour - for when things go wrong
And another thing ... you need a thick skin
And you mustnt bear a grudge
Or take bribes
or post anonymous posts :P
