What's up with all the trash talk?

Okay, before this gets out of hand, Quantum, understand that in no way have I been offended nor has it been my desire to offend you. You seem to be a little overly sensitive, though. Like Rev said, "one can post a kill without being a jerk." I have ALWAYS been cool after EVERY race and MOST of the time I end talking to the person I raced and making another friend (networking).
When I mentioned the story of gettin beat by a Cobra R, I said "when we hit second, it was TOTALLY over." I didn't say he "barely" beat me. I even said that if I had 3.73s he STILL would have beaten me.
There is NO way I'm gonna downsize (or exaggerate) a story. There is a difference b/t being "humble" and LYING. Would you have rather I said that I beat him? That would have been just as bad as me saying that I didn't barely get him on the launch. They're both lies.

Now I totally understand your point about being humble and respecting other people. But you wrote:
"...And realizing that whoever you race deserves some respect. Simply because they're another person. So why add insult to injury and brag and trash talk when you've already won the race. I dont' know about you guys, but when I read all of your "stories" about beating whomever by however much you supposedly beat them I am not impressed. It's as if you feel like you must prove that your car is fast by telling everyone who you have beaten. All I am saying is that I don't understand your desire to make everyone know that you are better than someone because I simply do not care if I am better than anyone."

Which person ever stated they were better than anyone else b/c they won a race???!!! You make it sound like we're flippin off these people after races, cussing at them and degrading them to less than human beings, going to their homes and jobs and yelling "ha ha ha, I beat this guy's car, his car sucks, he's a nobody" all just for losing a stinking race. Dude, you are putting WAY too much weight to the matter.
Everyone who comes to this board understands what this board is for: "for serious discussion about street/strip victories". Yes, to be honest I have seen a FEW post that were a bit disrespectful. I can't excuse their behavior (whoever they were). But as a whole, understand that in the Mustang/Mustang Works community, posts of street/strip victories and losses are all understood b/t us who post here. Ain't no one tryin to degrade anyone else.
Why do you insist that people are degrading others? NO ONE EVER SAID THEY WERE BETTER THAN THE OTHER PERSON. I don't know. Maybe you have no idea of what I'm talking about. Maybe you do. Peace.
