Give it up man, i'm not making any outrageous comments here.. it sounds like we agree that it was a racing incident, so whats the problem here??

Not making any outragrous comments?

Sounds about as plausable as anything else you post.

Whats the 'problem"? No problem, just a discussion. So what is the discussion? Should I recap the progress of this entire thread for you? Okay, that way I can impart a new spin to it and make myself look good! Here goes. Are you ready? All righty then. Big breath. What was I talking about again? Oh now I remember. Still with me? Okay lets get serious:

Somebody said Ralf almost spoiled his brother's day today, as if Michael had nothing to do with the incident. I responded (as I often do trying to balance out the silliness) with a small aside that Ralf had already helped in some small way to spoil the day of another championship contender earlier in the year. Simple. Am I right?

All part of a rich tapestry as they say. I thought you were going to stop?

What were you saying about juvenile behaviour before? Take a look in the mirror. I thought a little humour would go down ok, obviously not.

Oh the belittling. So effective.

And i responded by saying that Kimi was as helpful in spoiling his own day.

This sentence "as I often do trying to balance out the silliness" makes it all too clear how much you think of yourself. If only i'd known how futile this all was

well with that concrete evidence, i think we'll leave it there before the name calling kicks off.

Which part of playing nice is so hard to understand? And being gracious in defeat could also help in this case ... perhaps it could be conveyed in congratulating the supporters of the winning team/driver and not trying to put down their achievements and try to spoil the good mood of some by bitterness and sour grapes, however wrapped in somewhat fake humour that might be. Guess it's too much to ask. There are always winners and losers in competitive sports, guess some are taking it too close to their hearts that for the last 4/5 years their favourite team(s) have been in the latter group...
