Flame warSecond women-in-racing post draws insults

Melissa posted again urging women to race despite men, and the thread quickly turned hostile, with Mitch_A calling her a troll in abusive terms and others making sexist jokes. Some, such as Jan Verschueren and jason moyer, criticised the responses, and a side spat about netiquette followed.

off-topic

I feel that if there are women out there that want to race "get up and do something about it"!!!! Don't let anyone stop you like "GUYS." I don't care if team manager pick the elete, ther are other forms of racing like: go carts, midgets, sprint cars, quad 4 cars, mini stock, ledgens, and so forth.!!!

http://www.600racing.com/legends.asp Try this url to see what the legends cars are. The're rather neat machines, I've seen a few close up, but haven't seen them race anywhere but occasionally on TV. Of course, around me are nothing but dirt tracks, so I don't get out much to the local tracks to see them run. Mike On Fri, 28 May 2004 15:46:35 GMT, "Biz" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Are you some kind of a lesbo activist or just a dumb bitch? Take this bullshit somewhere else and quit using our "auto simulator" newsgroup as your pulpit for political correctness.

Those sheilas on the podiums represent females perfectly well in motorsport! Looks like they normally have their fronts and rears well sorted too.

Because they are not strong enough to turn the wheel in a hairpin. Pit babes are cool though.

Might I, as a semi-retired usenet warrior, offer you some advice? -If you're going to post something (mildly) controversial, make sure you: 1) Mind your language, and by that I do mean spelling and grammar. Not only do mistakes make you look dumb, they leave you open to easy come-backs. 2) post your message where it might possibly considered "on-topic" or mark it "OT:" for "off-topic" when you don't. 3) Also, consider the demographic. You want to select a newsgroup where there exists a target audience(1) and, preferably, several people who share your viewpoints(2). Alone against a group is unworkable in the long run. Jan. =--- (1): my guess is less than 10 women actually read RAS, I'll check that assumption in a moment. (2): which is not to say I don't agree. Possibly, there are too few women in racing due to the reasons you mention. There are certainly too few women in simracing.

If you want to talk politics go to the flight sim newsgroup. Which BTW is why I replied to the troll in the first place.

Well, I hadn't thought of that. Why do you say I should have? -I know how to drive a virtual racecar and I know how to configure a _home_ computer/internet connection so the sims run well on it. Assuming any IT knowledge beyond that on my behalf is a dangerous thing. > Fake the domain part, fake the user part, but just don't > fake the user part and begone with it. ;-) Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. Jan. =---

Those that can't cook or clean rely on their (artificially) perfect tits and (artificially) nice ass to get them by in life - not that there's anything wrong with that.

I take it when you say "most" you are excluding your own wife. Otherwise it won't be your fingers that get sawn off next time... :)

My wife can cook and clean, *and* can rely on her looks, but she doesn't drive very fast. :)
