Shut the lounge down
 

Ken,

My opinion only, but this is a racing forum, there are a few people on here that want to keep pushing buttons. My vote is to shut the lounge down, there are thousands of venues to vent your political preferences on the WWW. I love this forum for the racing community to come together and share stories, tech info and racing talk. Some people stir up emotions and I for one will not be a silent sheep, they will not silence me. Yeah i can just not click on it and try to ignore it but that is not in my DNA. If the squad doesn't like it maybe they will go troll somewhere else

You stated we can not silence you but you want to silence us by removing a section that can be ignored if your not wanting to read.

Well folks, my opinion on this would be for the people posting on the lounge to get out to the garage, get rid of their expensive TV packages, take the monies saved by getting rid of their expensive TV packages and get a "Dime Rocket"! Spend their spare time "playing" with their "Dime Rockets" and prove that they are really Racers and not just some A-holes stirring up s#!t on a RACERS forum. Age and health are not excuses. If they are too fragile and feeble to "play" with "toys" in their garages then they're probably too feeble to be watching politics on TV.

Re: Shut the lounge down
 

I understand, but I don't want to shut the lounge down. I will be more diligent in closing threads or removing them when politics are involved. There are some interesting topic here at times.

I promise I will stay on top of things.

Randy, have you noticed there have been 36 thousand views of "Musical Tastes" in the lounge since last summer? Why would you want to "shot gun approach" the lounge? That's being narrow minded. Maybe you meant shut down the political post, which Ken has already spoke of.

Jeff,

I agree the lounge does have its purpose, myself I am done with the political BS. I took down my campaign signs 2 days after the election looking forward to next season. Like Billy said I am staying plenty busy on the new car.

While some of the posts in The Lounge are real dumpster fires I just don't read them.

That whole forum can be easily ignored and that is pretty much what I do.

Re: Shut the lounge down
 

That's more like it !

I love you Billy!!

NO (real) vote to shutting the lounge down..
Yo Ken, Thanks for letting us vent for a while
Whatever happened to the members only lounge?

Re: Shut the lounge down
 

Let's not shut it down. Their are a few that push my buttons on here, but you might notice that I have ignored them. In my younger life a couple of months ago, I would have jumped in with both feet. Maybe it took me this long in life (73) to realize that some people are going to be complete azz holes, that is their nature and that is what they get off on. Most of those few people on here, either do not race, tried to race with their brother 15 years ago, and would not understand cam timing if you drew them a picture. IMO these people look for and found a web site that is not full of 15 year old keyboard jockeys, that they can irritate.

Re: Shut the lounge down
 

I am not sure if I am one of the people you are talking about or not.

Yes you are correct in that I do not race anymore.

I have for a long time produced software (which I still do) and yes there are members of Class Racer who have my software.

If I have missed a thread talking at camshafts since I have been a member of Class Racer in the "Stock and Super Stock Tech" section can you please post a link to it. So just what about camshafts would you like to talk?

Re: Shut the lounge down
 

I would like to point out that whether some one races currently or has done so in the past it should not matter when they express an opinion regarding a topic such as politics. There are likely numerous members of this site that for one reason or another have not raced, yet they often take the time to contribute. These contributions may be in the form of posting page after page of pictures for all of us to enjoy. There are also members who are die hard fans of S/SS that stay in the stands while you guys run rather than scurry off to the Force pits.
We all have a love of this sport/hobby/business and that ultimately should unite us regardless.

Re: Shut the lounge down
 

I have no issue with people that don't race being on here, unless their purpose is to agitate people for their own satisfaction. Hell, I haven't raced in a while. First was a stroke, then cancer. Both cars are lonely sitting on jack stands ready to go.

Ken;
If you shut down the lounge it won't be as easy to separate the sharp guys from the name callers.
