What's up with all the trash talk?

Okay, maybe what I'm trying to say has been misunderstood or maybe I haven't gone about saying it correctly. I have nothing wrong with talking about racing, I have nothing wrong with talking about beating people. I guess it's possible that even though some of your stories sound like bragging they might not be, that's for you alone to decide. My post was pointed towards the (apparently) few people who post stories of victories that are simply posted for self improvement in their own eyes. Most of the people posting here with an opposite opinion I have never even read a post from that was rude or bragging. Maybe my post found it's way into the eyes of the few people who truly do not mean to be disrespectful by talking about a street race victory. But I still believe that if you truly did not mean to talk down about the people you beat that would mean you could sympathize with them which would usually mean that you could understand my opinion. I would hope that if someone were to read my post and dissagree that they could simply say "Hey man, we're just having fun. We're not trying to make anybody feel bad. Sure there are people who truly talk trash and I probably am guilty of a little(because everyone has done it, including me), but we're just having a good time and when someone beats me(notice I say when, instead of if, because it will happen), I'd be perfectly fine if they posted the story on here. As a matter of fact, I'd probably laugh along with them cause damn, they have a fast freaking car that totally smoked my *** like I was their ***** ." If someone were to post a reply of that nature, I could respect them.
