The "bad connection" seemed to be an acceptable reason for some people (sorry, Chadwick & Beerz) seeing a driver smashing into them on purpose and a video of that race from that driver's perspective showing that driver having very little contact with anyone at any time. And they were people I'd have absolutely no reason to disbelieve.
The point of my original post was that, sometimes, what we see online is wrong - Chadwicks/Beerz/Captainslow proved that - and that insulting someone because of it is both a bit silly and against the AUP.
On that "CaptainSlow issue", my only intervention was to say that pehaps he was just a moron using a GTP tag. I never took part on that race or races.
And my reason for saying that was (apart that it could well be the case), that peson was using the GTP tag and was not registered as a tagged used.
I didn't retract myself on anything I said, nor will I now. Again, I was never inthat race and didn't see anything.
On the issue of bad connection and lag being the cause of many collisions and incidents online, although it is true to a geat extent, just doesn't applies on the cases I've witnessed, basically due to the actions themselves, and the fact that there was no visible lag (to an extent that could cause those kinds of misunderstandings) on said races.
Let's see an example:
When Suzuka had S2's and starts resulted on pile-ups on Turn 1 more often than not, Holden had this little 'trick' he used; according to himself, he was getting constantly rammed while braking for Turn 1, so he found a way to avoid it.
Quite simply, he "discovered" that entering Turn 1 with his white Evo almost at full blast using others as brakes and for a bit of wall-riding, he would 'avoid' being rammed from behind...
Like I pinted out to him, that was all very nice if there weren't other people on the turn trying to get by and being rammed by him and sent off the track.
That I've witnessed, he did it on 3 consecutive occasions, one of them sending a number of people out and leaving others trying to regain control of their cars. And off he goes, happy with his life, while others had their races ruined right there.
On the subject of defending your position in corners, that's not what's on the table here.
EVERYONE defends their position while cornering.
The case in hand is Holden swerves and swipes on anyone, let's say, on the back straight, because the way he sees it, he'll be behind that car on 130, and will have to brake behind that car for the chicane, and he has absolutely no way to avoild hitting any car that brakes ahead of him for the chicane.
Doesn't even qualify as an excuse, looks more like a 2nd grade essay, to be honest. (as if evrytime 2 cars brake for the chicane an accident happens...)
So basically, he has no problem ruining other people's races for the sake of avoiding some possible accident that most likely would never happen.
And he does it consciously, on his own free will, admits it on his posts, knocks anyone that says it's not acceptable behaviour demanding for evidence of said actions...
I really don't think the people having their races ruined by him or calling him out for his actions have done anything
that bad, the reason those things were posted here is that people demand an apology and want him to behave from now on, it's not exactly bashing on a member or
attacking him.
