In honor of Memorial Day, and because some people still do not get it. I am challenging the entire community to be respectful to all drivers and members this weekend. Yeah, most people in here do that anyway. I’d just like to see one weekend, even 1 day where there is no bashing of any kind in here. To those that feel the need to bash in here, can you stop for the troops? If you can’t respect the sport and it’s fans, at least respect our troops this weekend. Do it for them!!

i will respect those who serve.....
my dad and brother and all those who serve and protect our country are heros in my eyes. GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO GIVE UP THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT AND SERVE OUR COUNTRY!!! i too state my opinions, and i will halt them on this Memoiral day. but when i say something about a driver it is merely my opinion. i really don’t do it often. but we do all need to think about what Memorial day really is, and why it is so special. and thank GOD for all those who gave up their lives so that we could live safe in our country. it is a day for them, to remember all that they did and gave for this country and us. so lets all stand together and pray for them and their families.

Great blog
I don’t post often, only when something is important to me and you are right on this it would be nice to see all of the negative stuff stop if even just for a day.

Honor
What a good day to start. Become alert, am i using angry denial and self justifications to distort the facts, is there negativity in me a this moment. Just to have a little bit of that honor and pride our brave troops have, how much better that must feel. Wow lets try it.

Yes Sir!
I totally commend you for your blog. I have not been one to post too negatively, until the incident with Kyle and Jr. I promise to not disrespect any fans’ driver in the future. GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND OUR TROOP!!! Please bring them all home safe and sound to their families, who miss them so very much!!!!!

Bashing, Trashing, Smack, and even voicing opinions
are all different in my eyes.
Your Opinion – You say it / You may listen to a rebutle / Agree, Disagree, Agree to Disagree .. either way it drops after that.
Smack – To be made in ‘fun’ not in a hurtful and/or demeaning way. You must be prepared that is you dish it – you can take it in return! Then brush it off – never gets under the skin.
Trashing – Totally demeaning someone/thing that has no defense at the time. Not willing to listen to other opinions objectively.
BASHING – Never ending trashing of someone/thing that has no defense at all or at the time. Never bringing it to a rest or listening to views objectively. Could be considered a constant aggerivation about a subject to where at time feelings are not thought of and others could get extremely hurt.
*Like I said – these are my ‘opinionated’ definitions. Not text book science. Heck I’m a blonde don’t expect that from me!!

Bashing
What’s considered bashing? I’ve never said anything bad about a driver. I just stated my opionion on their actions on a certain day. Is that okay?
