I posted a while back about helping Larry Boos clean up garbage after the races and i was asked here on the board if i was gay. Guess who asked me that question.

The respect SUPERDUKE has coming from his past sounds admirable but what he is doing on here lately is making it very hard for people to send him any respect in present time. Hopefully this post doesn't rub anyone the wrong way.
At first, I thought Duke deserved a certain amount of respect, since he had driven in USAC's heyday. Maybe he would offer this board a different perspective and benefit it with his experience. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. And though Duke often turns to his favorite subject (homosexuality) when someone disagrees with him, when he did it to Tim, that was the example that crossed the line, IMO. Since that is a member that has been here since the beginning and has always treated people with respect.
