Joruss, again, your post is a pile of disappointment and a clear showcase of going out of your way to find things to blame on me.

Not everything goes circles around you. Frankly, apart from couple forum postings, I hardly know you and I don't see how can I (and why should I) be biased. I know BMW even less I just make my assessment on the evidence.

- I have no problem with the first contact. I have accepted (read my post) that this was an opportunistic move, which was based on a feeling that BMW is a very slow driver (look at his braking point into the penultimate corner), and hope he will be sensible to faster approaching racers.

That wasn't opportunistic move that was Hail Merry and unrealistic expectations from slower players to let you go "cuz I'm fastaaaaa!" So here's news for you, they don't have to and it's to you to pass them SAFELY which you didn't.

- I was in a hurry to recover the position, and I have almost succeeded in doing so - I would have easily made the final corner, albeit most certainly losing the position to him again due to not being on an ideal line (read the post for the 3rd time)

Again, If I was in BMWs place the outcome would be similar. I'd expect you to overshoot the corner and end up on the grass an I'd try to make it past you on the inside, but if you stand in my way contact is to be expected

- BMW has made an obvious effort to crash me. I have certainly rejoined in a risky manner, but I was not in the mood to wait until he crawls through the corner. That's how I race, but I don't do that to people I respect. And you know, I respect people selectively.

And there are 3 main problems.
- "rejoined in risky manner"
- "I was not in a mood" (perhaps you shouldn't drive when you're not in a mood?)
- "I respect people selectively"

- BMW was not letting Pressley by - Pressley has long cruised by during our first contact.
- BMW has crashed me on purpose - why you do not see this is mistery to me.

He was letting him by safely (EAP being on racing line and faster) and then went back on racing line.

- I have retaliated, which I admit is poor judgement and the ban is deserved.
- Seven's mention of the 'two second rule' does not apply, as BMW had more than two seconds to see I was coming / not planning to hand him the position / I was not in the best shape to make the corner at racing speed / notice that I was braking. Again, this was a conscienscious effort to wipe me off the track, which of course you don't see because you don't want to.

I never said he isn't partially to blame but the majority of it is caused by you.

I have repeatedly stated that I will approach racing the way I see it, not the way you dictate. As long as my racing receives positive reviews from peers - of which there is a couple - I figure I do the right thing. Some slack should be cut to slower and less experienced drivers, I agree with this, and I will put a lot of effort into this. However I refuse to treat the server as a gentlemen's club, where we follow each other in procession and overtake only by slipstream at the end of the long straight.

I've seen this countless times, good racers but crap when it comes to dealing with slower/less experienced folk.

I am a racer, Joruss, and have been for around 15 years, so if you have a problem with that, a 999 day ban will cost you less time than writing crap about front axle vs. rear axle. That's why you don't want me to have admin rights on this server - you just fear this will become a racers' place with bumber-to-bumper clean 30 lap races, and not 4-lap gay club where inexperienced punks like BMW are protected by admins.

I'm sure sooner or later you'll get it. And attacks ad persona ain't helping your case
