panjandrum, please just say what you meant. Your original post could be read a many number of ways. So just state, in a little greater detail, exactly what you meant.
Actually, it says exactly what I mean. If you are seeing something else then you are reading that into it. It is a very simple post with virtually no room for misunderstanding. The reason I asked again if someone had take offense was just to make sure it wasn't *me* misreading the responses. As it turns out I was correct, and Loon at least took offense.
The last part yeah.
The way I read that is, we don't use real/proper drift techniques like feint and power over. I took it like you were calling us noobs at drifting or something.
What? How did you come to that conclusion? Really, there is nothing in the post remotely offensive or derogatory. It turns out apparently the videos may be pretty old and/or well known, but that's a fact of life on the internet, it happens all the time. Sorry if you've all seen the videos. However, that isn't what you've taken offense to.
As I look it over, I can't even begin to imagine where you came up with the idea that I was saying you were "noobs". In fact, I suggested quite the opposite. I'll paraphrase to try and make it clearer: I'm not into drifting in the same way most of you in the drifting forum are, but despite my lack of experience / practice at drifting in GT4, I'm happy (encouraged) to find that I have instinctively been using many of the proper techniques when I *do* drift (which is mostly when I feel it is really the fastest way around a particular corner in a particular car).
But in the end (and I hope you take this as the friendly constructive criticism it is meant to be) you really do need to consider why you immediately took offense at this. I mean, did I watch those videos and then come here and post them and say "look all you losers are doing it wrong"? No, because it would a) be rude, and I really dislike it when people are rude for no reason, and b) it would also be wrong since I've watched a number of the drifting videos you folks have put up and many of them are quite impressive. No, I found a couple interesting drifting vids and put them up and basically said "hey, these are neat" and "I'm glad I'm doing some of this correctly."
