Ok , i wasn't to give any further notice to this matter because i think new_soul action and subsequent posts spoke for themselves, but since people felt the need to offer their POV,which is completly legitime, i think i should add some points to explain the reason why i brought this subject up(when i dislike a subject and want it closed i don't throw wood into the fire...)
1-Should this matter have been delt in private?
In my opinion,despite i respect diferent positions regarding this as well any matter,
NO because this wasn't a private matter(an action like driving backwards in a public lobby full of people with whom you race on a regular basis showing total disrespect and contempt for other drivers and the consequences that might occur to them by that inqualifyable did) but a question that regards everyone who was in the lobby(dereck,hairy dave,drivatar,ricardo,drstoner,and others)and usualy posts in this forum...and it's much more inescusable then if it were a stupid randomizer...and as the title of this thread is "the most stupid online racer"and this was the most stupid online action i ever witnessed in scc i thought it was apropriated...
It's not like we were talking of a few bumps between two racers that should take matter themselves,if that was the case that would have been the way i treated the subject(despite doubting that would do any good as only i know the mockery tone of the messages i've been receiving,since january 4th after the 512 S event, via psn...
-note don't bother to send anymore as i add you to my blocked contacts list)but the last straw of an overall attitude from a driver who only respects(in and off track) the top racers and the "opinion leaders" of this community(strategy by the way that seems to work and give him some credit)...
showing total disrespect and contempt for all the other racers(believe me when i tell you i'm not the only one who feel this way from private messages i received reporting similar problems with the same driver...).
2-There is a lack of consistency bewteen what he preaches and what he does
"i dont se any problems,
when sombody is having problems with discipline they are not taking the rules seriosly and dont realy want to participate.
thear are allways room for erors,
when drivers are not srangers to each other and have raced more times together,
ther shold be not much problems with discipline if any,
and erors wold be also kept down to a minimum.

that i felt should be exposed and that was the way of allowing him to say something in is defense-something like"it was a stupid and childish action i appologise and never do it again..."
But the tone of arrogace and despite for others was confirmed:
"im not the one runing in to other cars ruinindg sombody's race, i dont have to explain my self to anybody, i alredy did post above! "
and it was usefull because it allowed me to draw a conclusion
IF YOU ARE IN A LOBBY WITH NEW SOUL AND MARIO ,JEFF OR ALAN AREN'T THERE BEWARE BECAUSE IF HE IS LOOSING THE RACE HE MIGHT GET BORED AND RUN THE OTHER WAY AROUND JUST FOR THE THRILL OF IT
Now Mario i respect you too much and i really don't want to go in a flame war with you and i wont,but i like to know how you would feel if you were having a nice battle for the lead with a match driver for you(say jeff for instance-in this case was me and drivatar-and somebody showed up the other way around forcing you into the sand to avoid hitting him,1 lap before the end i'm sure you wouldn't consider the matter settled and closed like this:
" New soul shouldn't drive backwards during a online race. You get bored, you leave the race, nothing wrong with that. "
Or in a hilarious note:
"Why don't you look at the on-screen map? "-like the next time you do it at least lok at the map...
So if you guys don't mind racing a guy who drives backward in a lobby full of know people I DO.👎
To you new-soul,and this will be the last time i will ever adress you since i've added you to my ignore list here(i wont even read your response to this post if there is going to be one) and in the psn:
If you really care about your driver reputation in a online game(in your age it's allright i suppose)you have to act according to it respecting your fellow drivers and NEVER DRIVE BACKWARDS in a online race...💡
Now, you didn't really hit me but that wasn't because you didn't tryed(drivatar was behind me and he already confirmed you were on,and not off ,track like you've stated) but because when i saw you i immediatly swerved left off track into the sand and you were disqualified(the game itself,very tolerant in bumps between drivers and pennaltys considers this a unforgivable action and disqualifys the player from the race and if it were in real life which racing spirit you so much like to praise and preconise even organizing rolling starts just to invoque it,you would be casted out from competition) and you know very well who you were targetting because a few seconds before your ridiculous action stoner asked in the mics who was in the lead and i answered him...so...SO LONG new_soul have a good life and hopefully you have learned something from this and helps you built up your character into a better person...👍
Well excuse me again but I fail to see why the hell would someone decide to try it out in a middle of an online race... but maybe its me who is seeing things from a wrong perspective...
