With regard to your first comment above, having me "banished" from the board is silly in it's notion, because I haven't said anything imflammatory at all. I haven't used questionable vocabulary, I haven't ouright called any one person a derogatory name, I have merely pointed out the flaw in one's thinking. Once again I must apologize for using intelligent discourse, logic and reason in my discussions here. I am sorry you feel threatened by that, but it's merely how I converse online. It's not an act, it's not an attempt to make myself seem superior, it is simply how I write. Remember, I am a "fairly intelligent" guy, as you point out. The literary word is a strong suit of mine. That you are so inclined to want to have me removed from your sight is telling to me. I don't know about you, but I don't make it a habit of running away from facts or opinions that I don't necessarily agree with because they are in opposition to mine. No, I am far more secure in my beliefs than that.
As far as your assertion that you would like to confront me, feel free to. I will gladly oblige you. I can be easily spotted at any race track. By all means, come right on up and say hello and we will have a nice conversation about whatever is on your mind. I think if you actually took the time to meet me, you'd find a completely different person than the one you presume me to be, and you'd discover that there is a reason that I am, as you say "mostly accurate" in my opinions. It's called conviction.
The bottom line is, I am just a race fan who chose capturing images of the sport with a video camera as a means to make a living. I excel at it, and that is why I am where I am. That's why I've been around 25 years. Regardless of sanction, I will be around for a long time to come, because it is what I have devoted my life to, and there is a lot for me left to accomplish. You may not like what I have to say at times because it can often hit too close to home, but nobody on this planet can ever question my desire or passion for this sport. That is really all that need be understood.
