i have been on this board going on 5 years so i can speak as far back to let people understand just where that comment from George came from. i know George from the forums as well and he is a nice guy..so let me try this.....
back over 2 years ago there was NO moderater or ANY form of control on the RJ forum..i mean there was some major throat cutting going on..a few members such as myself,Tom,Ken,Mel and a few others ask RJ for help in this matter but got no response....so Ken decided to open is own website forum MSV so all that was tired of what George mentioned could go over to MSV and not have to deal with the hostile enviroment that only a few was doing or causing... ( not EVERYONE)...
Many people jumped ship to go to MSV and never came back...
what happened in between is that Tom Mcdunnah took over as head moderater and stopped the bashing and insults etc...This is when i came back to RJ.....RJ is the place we all would like to be this day and time..WE (RJ) welcome each other comments with respect and dignity. We also accept new members with open arms...not to mention we ( RJ) is one of the IF NOT THE best (web-site) for advserising your racing parts/cars wheather buying or selling..Yes you have some scammers that come thru the site...
BUT YOU WILL HAVE THIS ANYWHERE..you have to stop and think of the reason why..
ITS BECAUSE RJ IS A HIGH PROFILE site with many members and customers...wherever you have this kind of traffic your gonna pull the bad with the good cause
WE ARE JUST THAT POPULAR..WE (RJ) ARE NATIONALLY KNOWN...
Now i do not have a problem with MSV...but i will say that George WAS
OUT OF LINE by posting that comment even if it were on MSV site....if it were true then i would be ok with it...George was one of the guys that left RJ a few years back when there was problems with a FEW members on RJ that was personally attacking and critizing other members post.....i cannot blame him for giving a pep speech to his site members but leave RJ out of it or at least be accurate with your statements..i would think ken and George would expect the same from us.
i am More than confident if George or ANY OTHER MEMBER from MSV or any othwer site out there came to RJ and seen what we are about now they would have nothing but good things to say about RJ...
just stop and think how QUICK SCAMMERS ARE DEALT WITH...How Quick any off color jokes or comments are dealt with.....all of this is handled on the spot if it happens at all...its getting to where there is little problems here on RJ....Including "NO CLICKS"...everyone is treated the same and included on all post.
That is the way its suppose to be,,we are all to get along ans support one another....
i will have to say
THAT WE HAVE SOME VERY BRIGHT AND TALENTED MEMBERS ON THIS SITE THAT WOULD MATCH WHITS WITH ALMOST ANYONE OUT THERE.......
Tom has done an excellent job moderating this forum an getting us to where we are now...I WILL ALSO DO MY PART in helping assure that everyone of you has A place to come to where you can share your thoughts and ideas without any problems or backlash from anyone......
Please post your thoughts and ideas here...FOLKS WE HAVE A GREAT PLACE....ALL OF US NEED TO BE PROUD OF THAT FACT...and understand when your
AT THE TOP IT IS VERY LONLEY..
i will close with this statement:
let the words of the insult speak for itself..it mentioned
ALL THE PERSONAL INSULTS....i Challange each of you to find a personal insult on this site.........with this said...
YOU BE THE JUDGE AND ASK YOURSELF HOW MUCH WATER DOES THAT INSULT HOLD ??????
EDIT: HERE IS A COPY OF ANOTHER POST FROM MSV..JUST AS I SAID..George is a stand up guy along with many others on MSV...
HERE IS THE POST...THANK YOU GEORGE FOR MAKING THIS REPLY..IT VALIDATES WHO I KNEW YOU WERE TO BEGIN WITH.....THANKS BRIAN
I know Ron copied this below but i just wanted to let it be known from Me personally..
Sorry Tom. I meant no offense to you. My comments were directed to the time before you started moderating RJ and I have edited my post to reflect that. Surely, you have to remember why Motorsports Village was started in the first place. RJ has come a long way since you took it over. I still post there occasionally.
Again, sorry if I offended you. That was not my intention.
