Yes, football is just a game. Just enjoy it. I can't understand the mentality of people who take something that is meant to be entertainment and turn it into something overly serious. To mean it ruins the joy of something. Granted I am into a lot of things and have some pretty serious hobbies, but I enjoy them and don't let it get to me.
And as far as I am concerned I'm no longer part of the registry, I don't play GT5
anymore nor do I participate in it. I might still have my name on the list but I'm not active by any means. So I guess my GTP_Joey PSN name really isn't an issue.

ahh, it's all coming back! 
when i was a mod in the gt section of guide makers piggyback, we used to get this kind of nutty thread all the time
people do indeed take olr way too seriously. i used to be the same, it all got very intense
using tags, feeling that you're representing a site takes the fun out of it for me. just be yourself. you can be a clean, credible racer without a tag
just so i'm on-topic...
bump drafting, or indeed any other kind of attempt at approaching a fella from behind, should only be done after obtaining prior consent
getting accosted from behind when you're not expecting it is a shocker

I have to agree....the guy wasn't expecting (and probably didn't want "bump drafting") that, so technically, you messed up. I would just get over it and delete the message and move on. Easy that way.

I understand that it may be hard to comprehend that people want to get serious about certain things rather than casually enjoy it. If people do want to sit down and take things seriously they have every right to and who are you to say otherwise? They don't force anyone who adhere to GTP's registry rules, only those who have signed up themselves.
So while it may be easy to stand back as an observer and say 'why so serious?'. People have willingly signed up and agreed to race and take all reasonable measure's to prevent collisions during online racing, if people on the registry are not following the rules then I don't see a problem with other members calling them out (using the appropriate method, there's rulse for that too
).Of course if you don't like the rules, then your not obligated to sign up.

Bump drafting is kinda pointless at 800 pp imo. It usually takes up to the last 200 metres approaching turn 3 to bump or the short straight into turn 1 unless you are racing someone very slow.
On another note, maybe our boy Chad should have begged the bumpee in question for his forgiveness. I mean really sobbed and pleaded.
Try harder next time will ya Chad. For all our sakes.

I just messaged him again. This guy is being unreasonable. He sent me a message about..GTP.. I apologized about 3 times in my message. I don't think its going to matter..
I don't know why I am wasting my time defending my reputation. I know I am clean racer.
Oh well..I tried..

Hey, I hear your posting my pm's on GTplanet... sweet... Will you post this one? You rammed me going into a turn and no matter YOU justify it, thats a dirty move.. no amount of B.S. will change that. You talked to me like i'm a noob. I've been around for a long time. You come off as an arrogant fool. Blather away if you must, but I will be laughing at you dudette. Maybe you should check your ego, it seems very fragile :-) Post away, I bet will agree with me -Back to blocked.
Oh well..I tried..

Mate, just leave it, stop posting the conversations between yourselves and keep what reputation you have left. It was already out of line to start this thread about it, now you're just making it worse.
I know you from experience that you're a clean racer and I also know you didn't intentionally ram him - however, the way you went about apologising initially, your thoughts on other drivers apparent ability and how you dealt with his responses were out of line and you're just making it worse by continuing to make this a public discussion.

This still going on, damn. I need to order more popcorn.
You order popcorn? What a hassle. In the U.S. we buy it by the bag, already popped and covered with cheese... mmm cheese popcorn... and pink lemonade! Ill be back
Hmmm... This is a message from last night, I stand by the fragile ego part... it's more than obvious. You attempt to make it out like this is a new post after you tried to apologize. That is very dishonest. That post of mine isn't in response to this thread and you know it. Ahhhh the dishonesty.... lol it's so over the top.

If you know that the people you are bump drafting with are fine with it, then it is okay.

"I'm sorry I bumped you dude. I'll try not to do it again". That would have ended it right there. 💡

I could tell them what I said. All I said, was I was sorry. We should move on..or I think I used the moved get over it or something. You are just not hearing it. Talk about someone else with a big ego. You are flying this one like a kite. I don't blame you, this is your chance to feel all big inside. After you all you are getting your 15 mins of fame. By all means keep riding this one out. Like you said, you are enjoying every word I say.
I can proudly say I am the bigger man in the end.
Lesson to self, do not try to reason with an arrogant fool.

IMO a bigger man would have either stoped and waited after the incident, or givin a genuine apology. Calling someone an arrogant fool is not being 'big' in any way
TBH I think this whole thing is way out of proportion, lets see, one race, one bump(bump draft or not) who the hell really cares? common guys, really? seriously still crying? really?
"He bumped me and ruined my race" waaaaa...... "No, I bump drafted you" waaaaaaa
Please, it was a stupid deal but not the end of the world, grow up a bit or at least take some meds or something.

Its odd in a way that young Chad, (I assume hes a young fellow from reading his posts) felt he needed to start a new thread about a racing incident which he in fact instigated.
Bleating on about how clean a driver he is seems to have backfired somewhat.
Buffoons who go around the track backwards are of no significance as they ghost out, as do the unfortunate lapped types, thus making their amusing antics completely pointless. Moreover, their maneuvers are utterly harmless in terms of completing the race.
The term bumping has been banded around page after page when this instance has the hallmarks more akin to ramming. On the many occasions a clean driver failed to resist the urge to get a better view of my exhaust and collided with my rear end at speeds in excess of 230mph, I always thought to myself; Oh blast and bother it!(Or words quite dissimilar to those). Obviously the reason Ive just thwacked into the sidewall, spun twelve times and found myself floundering on the grassy verge is because the chap behind was naturally just trying to help me!
Another pain in the backside is the ever so overused method of blocking overtakes on the straights. Being sucked along the draft zone giving plenty of space to pull out and overtake cleanly, (that is to say no contact with the car being overtook is premeditated) only to find the overtake thwarted by being rammed on the side.
There is no question that racing game incidents occur, but the premeditation of getting yourself into a position solely for the purpose of vehicular contact is, at best and for the sake of the sweary filter, poor show indeed.
Bump drafting. What a load of codswallop!
Theres plenty of racing games out there where you can drive like a loon, in fact its positively encouraged. The GT series was never about crash bang wallop and its newer incarnations follow suit.
In a community, after all said and done that is what Jordan set this site up for in the first place, it takes threads of this nature to weed out members (tagged or otherwise) who seem to think that winning at virtually any cost is the be all and end all. The old if you aint first, yourre last mentality. Part of the myriad skills required to get around a race track is to purposely avoid touching/bumping/ramming other participants.
In the most likely unlikely scenario that we get The Ring thrown in as an online event, in the now not too distant future, when GT5 makes it onto our screens Chad and his ilk are the very sort of competitors wholl bump draft you at the end of Döttinger Höhe, (thats the great big long straight bit, not too far from the end, just before the need-to-enter-it-just-so left hander. Naturally, this fiendish ploy would only be used to assist you get a better lap time you understand because he is after all a clean driver.
It might very well take two to tango, but you buddy have danced your socks off in this here thread.
Dropping the GTP tag is hardly falling on your sword, merely a warning for those who use a draft to overtake to be wary when your name pops up on a start list.
Thanks for the heads up!
Now, wheres that popcorn

Chad, I think you absolutely right... lesson to self, do not try to reasons with fools.
What you said was posted by you... it speaks volumes
The End
Chad messaged me and ask why I thought he had a big ego... This is my entire reply I sent him... non edited
I didn't say big ego, I said fragile.
Look, My first message to you was a bit terse, nothing else. Why? Yes because of the GTP tag, lots of noobs around so I take note of who's around me. You had the GTP one so I stopped worrying about you, not in the sense of your skill, but rather as someone I didn't think would punt me off the track. The subsequent messages were a bit less mild, but nothing over the top, man I've recieved some real hate filled and vulgar messages from people some of whom I don't even remember racing against. I really though your original response was demeaning and a bit condenscending. Chad, I'm not the one who took a minor tiff and made it global... I wasn't even a member here until this. We had one accident, one, out thousands of races that I and I'm sure you have done, it really wasn't a huge deal.
The one part that is irksome to me is that you tried to make it sound like I was bashing the whole GTP community, which I was certainly NOT doing. I have friends who where the tag and I always have had good races with those who do wear it. In fact because of the tag I thought you a good racer with at least a certain amount of skill. That means I respect them.
Lets end this, I have no real gripe with you.... It was just one race... peace

I'm not entirely sure what's worse:
Either way, this thread has gone on far too long now. The whole matter seems crystal clear to me and yet there seem to be people viewing it through the clouds.
- Punting someone off the road, regardless of intent, or
- Airing your dirty laundry in public

You know, I read some my peers comments and I can help to wonder if I would say the same things they are saying. Truth be told, I don't know. But I have one thing to say here. Its easy to judge from afar. Specially one who gather an opinion of the situation from just a few sentences. The good thing is, we can usually tell who those people are. Thanks for the good points and discussion to the ones who did offer some light on the situation.
This thread is a prefect example of how GTP is viewed and the standards we hold are selves to. Thankfully I am still apart of it. At least whats left of me.
You know what one of the hardest things to say is? ... I was wrong.
So there it is: The End.
