If its on a "Nead to know" there is all ways the PM board to have a personell go at one another,its human nature to "get it off your chest" but don't forget, some people like Glyn and Keefyb and many other no doubt don't want to trawl through all the chaff as they do not
" Need to Know". How nice to enter a thread thats trying to help some one out ,some one in trouble,advise needed,read about some ones ride out , or new purchase, See a nice picture that some one has taken showing the good times we can have in this great club of ours. Life's to short to get involved with all the nastyness of bickering,slacking,his is better than mine,he's got it and I wan't it.We all know (or I hope you know) it take less muscles to smile than it does to frown So unless you're trying to loose weight by burn of energy ,frowing all the time will help. Lets SMILE and to hell with it .Lets see the banter flowing more and think before posting If you've not got anything nice to say then don't say it. It is easier to loose a freind than make one Regards to all 4D

We're all bikers and come here to share our passion for bikes, specifically Ducati's, their riders and their riders lives. Anybody is welcome, just temper your enthusiasm with the knowledge that you're talking to real people. Not just the faceless PC at your fingertips!

The other site is a privately run site and not funded by the DSC (AFAIK).

Perhaps its me, but there seems, amongst a few posters, to be an underlying dislike of anything to do with DD at the moment. A possible feeling of "getting too big for yourselves".... etc ; And your suggestion that there was a board that all DD issues should use instead of this one led me to believe that you too were perhaps anti-DD. I may be guilty of being over sensitive.

However, it seems inevitable in my opinion that the DD series, should it continue, will be too big (perhaps ugly) in the long run for the DSC to continue to directly run it as it does today. The DSC has an assumed responsibility to "share" the series with all DSC members via this board which can lead to issues.

Perhaps the answer is a seperate board funded by the DSC, I doubt this will happen though and until it does, this board can be used by DDers and by non-DD'ers to comment; self-destructive perhaps?

I feel that the competitive nature of any race series and the personal and financial commitments that individuals make to the DD series means that opening up and inviting (by nature of an open forum) comments about the DD racing onto a section of the DSC board can be a problem. This can lead to uninformed statements and input from those not directly involved in the series that could aggravate some of the riders who feel that what was initially intended as a throw away comment can cause further fraction between the DSC and DD.

The DSC / DD relationship is going through a "rough-patch" at the moment and there are those who would wish for a "quickie divorce". I feel that with some "counselling" then all may be made good again, but threads like this do not help this to happen, despite the fact that the original intention (and title) of this thread was for peace.

Maybe I'd better drink some tea and chill for a while - how long 'til Cadwell? ;)
