Crashes, blame, insurance...

I don't see why the words "pansy" and "pansies" need to be starred out in the first place, but whatever.

As to Aaron's point, I beg to differ slightly: there should be nothing wrong with publicly blaming and--where appropriate, shaming--a deserving party, especially when the safety of others is at stake. While I do not presume to offer a precise prescription for where the line delineating "deserving" should be drawn, it seems reasonable to expect that "wrecking someone intentionally" falls safely out of the gray area.

Maybe with a little more of that (public accountability, that is) there would be fewer so willing to act like jerks--at least where they can be seen, anyway--at the expense (literally and figuratively) of others.

That wouldn't be so bad, would it?

Personally if I was moderating this list I would delete users that are
unnecessarily and-or overly rude. This e-mail would fit in that category for
me.

How about we stop this passive-aggressive bickering about crashes in races. We have all crashed at some point. Some of us have crashed in races. Some of us have been hit by cars. Some of us have broken bones. Some of us have taking a ride in ambulance. It happens. It's the risk you take when you ride. You can't control the actions of others in races or on the road. Let's stop being p***ies. Take responsibility for your actions. Don't try to place the blame on someone else as soon as you can. Get some insurnace. And again, let's stop being p***ies.
