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.
- 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. This was an error on my part, which I openly admit (read my post again).
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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 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.
