getting paranoid? I miss the true racing posts on here. Speaking for myself, I began "hunting" tr0lls when all the nasty, derrogatory, sexually explicit questions from the green rainbow guy started. Then other new id's began popping up with the same questions, or supportive answers. I find this disgusting. I really don't care how many id's people on here have. It's not the number of id's causing the problems. I don't care how many points I get, or how many best answers either. They don't matter to me. I enjoy the exchange of info and challenges presented here. I just hate to see a handful of people ruining it for everyone else. I don't have any of you blocked, with the exception of 2 new id's who blocked me first. I am not accusing any of the Nascar fans of being tr0lls. I don't believe that our tr0ll (or tr0lls) is one of the true fans here, including David B , it is someone who comes here just to cause trouble. If I have offended any of you, I did not mean to.

You can email me anytime if you want to talk to me, but I assure you, I for one want all the problems to stop, and stop without any hard feelings. Friendly banter is good. Personal (and driver) bashing is not. Please accept my appology for anything I may have done to contribute to these problems here.

edd_sr: who are you to stand in judgement of me and what I post? You have contributed exactly what? to this NASCAR forum? Those involved in this, understand this, and do not have to "decypher my rant". They know exactly what I am saying. Obviously you do not. Therefore you should take your own advice and take your *** somewhere else. I do not see your Nascar questions or answers anywhere!

I am done with any attempts to clean up the site. In the future, I'll just ignore it. I'm way too old to get caught up in all the bull. Originally, I was just extremely offended that anyone would have so little consideration for the younger people who visit the site, but if Yahoo doesn't seem to care... why should I?

I agree.
This is a great forum with great and fun questions and great and fun answers. There are a lot of good people here with a great amount of knowledge. If you don't believe me then just ask the most obscure off the wall question and see if one of the regulars do not answer it in spades.
There are those who like to stir us up and cause trouble for their own satisfaction, but for the most part I ignore them.
I may let them know I know who they are, GREEN but I do not entertain their Q/A.
Having said that I hope everyone had a great weekend, even you greenie, and I hope next week will be as fun and uneventful as last week.

Very well said. And I agree 100%.
And I feel the same way as you about all of this.
The tr0lls are the outsiders that come in here with multiple identies to cause chaos and turn us each other.
If you see this done..report it. And if you like, block them.
Let's stop bashing each other and teaming up and taking sides against each other..
This is a NASCAR forum Let's talk NASCAR!
GODSMACK #1 SAID IT ALL...LET'S HAVE FUN!!!!

I'm tired of all the cr@p. Most of the reason I read posts anymore is to see if there is anything to report, and I have. 1 cuss word, and a report gets sent. I don't care who they are rooting for, who they are defending, or what the tr0ll said. If I have to play by the rules....so does everyone else.
This goes out to someone out there...... and she knows who she is.......As far as trying to block me....it don't work. I'm too old to play your petty games (you know who I'm talking to). If you can ever get over your "My driver is God" complex, you might find I'm a real nice guy that's fun to be around, and is funnier than he............heck....and you thought I was gonna say _____.

Very well put but it's easy for you to say that probably because you probably haven't been accused of being a troll yet. I just want to state, that I have NEVER came in here to cause trouble. I've only posted in here under DrivinFast31. I'm nobody else. But somehow I've been pinpointed as being a troll, being this and that person. And last night I discovered that I'm also NascarFan31. I can't believe the people in here who actually believe this non sense. One guy tells others that so and so it a troll and also this and that person, and everyone believes him. Without proof.
I've always tried to help others when they asked a question in here when I knew for a fact I had the right answer. I've always tried to post the best possible answer I could to the best of my ability. Never came in here to stir up trouble. People can choose to believe it or not. But if people want to believe whats not true about me, then I guess that goes to show how self centered they are. I just had to put this out there.

Any derogatory language I do report not only for myself but, all of the other dedicated Nascar fans out there. I came on this site in hopes of having a meaningful exchange about the drivers, tracks, races, setups and such. What I have been seeing is nasty remarks towards the drivers and fans. I'm sick and tired of the questions as to who is the cutest, gossip, negativity. We need to ban togther and ignore them instead of even answering them.

I agree it`s pretty hard to find a place to just talk about nascar and not get bashed by non nascar people it`s all over not just here,I think it`s mainly because nascar has become one of the biggest and growing sports in north america and one of the only sports they pray before each race and honor the soldiers over seas giving us the free speech we enjoy every day....freethe#8

The absolute easiest way to eliminate the chaos is by refusing to become part of it,Now I know its easier said then done and I myslf have bashed right back,so its not fair for me to say someone shouldnt bash back,if you must then go for it,But if you can try to resist I qurantee all the fun would go out of it for the people who like to cause hate and discontent.

I'm with you 100 percent. I just ignore certain questions and answer the real racing stuff. I have never tried to cause trouble in here but there are some that just have too much time on their hands.

As a matter of fact i'm getting sick of the people getting sick of the "trolls" its getting annoying reading threads saying immature nascar fans, trolls, can't we get along, theres too many of these and they are starting to go up every 3 hours, you need to ingore the ones causing trouble they won't go away unless you do and making threads like this encourages them to cause mroe trouble and stick around. Its kinda like answering the same question over and over such as whos your favourite driver
