?????? What's the problem,again?

Re: worst red light debate, again!
 

What? Some of the "pro" Sportsman racers do this now, and have for years. It's called sandbagging. What's the problem again, and exactly how does it relate to Bill's debate here? Jim

Then go get it done, don't cry about it on the internet. Do something, call somebody. So far we don't have to race top fuel cars. I don't have a fast car. I don't feel like I need a helping hand. Are you a liberal that wants Obama make everything easier for you?

Re: worst red light debate, again!
 

Bill hit the grammar on this one, hit the name calling on another ("poor character" for which he did apologize) and others have done the insulting. I was generalizing the angle of those felt betrayed or otherwise annoyed by the issue. Both sides.
So to make it clear...the horse seems to be quite dead as its *** hangs on one side of the fence and it's head on the other but this thread will continue if for no other reason, internet bragging rights.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Ed, my friend, you don't have a clue! If you had one you would not have written that last sentence. Me a liberal? Are you serious? Really? You really are reading comprehension challenged. Visit the lounge sometime.
The Top Fuel thing is called a metaphor. Look it up. I am so glad you pointed out we don't have to race a Top Fuel car! I never would have known that!
I get it now, you don't believe that the rules of Drag Racing should be consistent, I understand you. However, just because you don't doesn't mean everyone else does. Members of this forum are (believe it or not) allowed to discuss (crying according to you) things (rules included) without having to call Glendora (or you) to get approval to do so. Discussion IS allowed here without the requirement that you must act one way or the other on what has been discussed. Once again I say to you and others, if you are tired of this thread, DO NOT READ IT ANYMORE! Jim

Not to split hairs here, but my commenting on how an attitude reflects on a person's character, falls a long way from "name calling." If I'd said he was an " inconsiderate, small-minded, S.O.B." (which I did not,) THAT would have been "name calling."

You won't find that kind of personal rhetoric from me, on these boards. I apologized to the damaged party because he obviously had taken offense at my remark, and it was something I had said that I, in retrospect, regretted. He, in no way, deserved that judgment. Lucky for me, he accepted my apology.

The "worse" or "worst" red light subject isn't "Grammar," per se, but has to do with accurate communication, a staple of BB's like this one. In order for there to be a "worst" red light, there would have to be the ORIGINAL red light, a "worse" red light, and a third, or, "WORST" red light. And, as we all know, there are only two.... and, I thought it needed clearing up.

So the fact is, there is nothing in the world that can accurately be called a "WORST" red light.... it's just a matter of degree, not "Grammar."

Insofar as "bragging rights" relative to this thread is concerned, I am pretty sure there aren't any.

I know I haven't been able to accomplish anything (except Jim Wahl's welcome conversion) in the realm of winning supporters to the double red light system.

Maybe we could brag about how Big this thread is???? They say "size matters." LOL!

I'm in trouble... :(

The issue of having two distinctly different ways of treating two competitors. (one the first to leave, and the other being the second to leave,) with regard to having equal "red light jeopardy," will never die, until the first red light rule is changed.

Getting it changed is up to the NHRA, and until they get some personnel in charge of rules changes, who have some integrity, it probably IS a dead issue.

More's the pity...

Re: worst red light debate, again!
 

Hey Bill, you better head on over to the ER. Your forehead must be bleeding badly by now! Jim



Use 'worse' if you're comparing two things: "I think eggplant is worse than squash, but that's just my opinion."

Use 'worst' if you're comparing multiple things: "I disagree. Eggplant and boiled cabbage are both vile, but squash is the worst!"

Jim, I've seen enough of your posts in the lounge to know your views. Many of them sound like they just fell out of glen beck's rear. That part was a joke. But when somebody builds a car knowing the rules, then expects a rule changed and some software re-written to make their life easier, it sounds like they maybe talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Looking for a little Obama care are ya? LOL
I understood the rules when I put mine together, I don't need handouts.

When are you guys going to do something other than talk?
