I do not understand it. Every chance you guys get you will pounce on drifters, tear them apart, even the intellegent ones: you insult just because you can.
I don't blame people for being mad at me for moving stuff around (although i didn't move this thread) if this is how we can expect you to react whenever something that refers to drifting is posted outside of the drift forum. Jesus, can you not see that the entire point of this thread was to point out to the people of this forum that drifting was entering a rice-like stage. Now i don't care if you love, like, or hate drifting, do we really want dum arses pulling their e brakes on the streets of the world: killing themselves and innocent people?
People who are so close-minded, that they will never see the world outside of the status quo, I will never understand. How can you condemn something you know nothing about? How can you pretend you know everthing when you are a 20(-) year old who only races in a video game -most likely- and are not even willing to try new things. How can you insult and tear down people who are willing to try new things, that have open minds and are probably more forgiving and thus better people than you.
Give me a break. This forum doesn't need people to make people mad enough not to come back. This forum doesn't need people who are so unwilling to accomodate change, that they attempt to prevent others from doing what they like by disgusting them so fully that they just dissapear. I do not care if you like drifting or not, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But saying things of the nature:
Wow, you're profoundly stupid. Good job. I'm going to go lose grip on my tires intentionally.
is completely uncalled for. No one here broke any rule. No one here did anything wrong but call themself a drifter. And what did you do, you guys called every single one of them stupid. Who are you to talk down to us...
I just want to say that i don't think anyone -as someone once put it- is crying here. Simply if you are allowed to say your opinions in an offensive manner, those offended are allowed to respond back. We may not be able to respond back in a similar manner because while most drifters are new, those who hate them are not and thus carry some clout here at GTP.
As a closing note, what truly baffles me about those who hate drifting, and even those who hate racing, remains that as perg said, its all on the same spectrum. Their is static friction used in grip and kinetic friction used in drifting. If your goal is to become really fast how can you do so without approaching the limit of drifting, so why would you despise it so much. Sad really...
