You are a fan of DEI. Great! I'm a Jeff Gordon fan. Not an HMS fan, or a Rick Hendrick fan, or a NASCAR fan. Just a JG fan. If I tried to refute all the nasty things said about him on various internet boards, I wouldn't have a life. So I learned to ignore most of it, because it doesn't really affect Jeff or me. He's laughing all the way to the bank, and I'm loving the heights his career is reaching. I don't need external validation to enjoy what I enjoy. It's called maturity, I guess. You might try it sometime. It has its own rewards.
Wolfstar, you are a conundrum. You appear to be the most reasonable of those against me in this debate, yet you continue to be the only one on either side hurling personal attacks. (I was accused of personaly attacking FReepers who like HMS of being “less principled,” but clearly that requires ignoring all that I have written on this thread, because I clearly stated on another post “So what then are we to say of FReepers who are HMS fans? Are they less principled? I don’t think so.”).
Appealing to the former rationality, I will make one last attempt and then drop it. I NEVER started the insults. I reacted to insults with insults. That does not make me morally right, but nor is it morally right to only condemn me for being insulting.
It PAINS me that my fellow FReeper NASCAR enhtusiasts will stand by and idly watch someone insult my favorite team, and then throw me under the bus for replying to that person in kind. What is morally right is not subjective here, it is objective.
I admit I was immature and wrong to insult another person’s driver/team, in particular as a response. But I also think it is wrong and inconsiderate of certain individuals to continually insult my team. AND, I think it was wrong for the all of you to only condemn me.
I am done.
