I post there, once in a while here, and also to a couple of Yahoo NASCAR
groups. I got tired of the personal attacks and political BS on this
group. To my knowledge, Dale has not throttled anyone on the yahoo group
and there have been some spirited exchanges over the last couple of
years. The difference is people are able to disagree while remaining
civil with one another.

Oh, we disagree there. I don't have any need for control (and already
said Notso does not control anyone). I made the choice to avoid most of
the BS here at RASN. I still lurk to see if there is something
interesting posted but it is ALL about civility...

Later,

I don't have a problem with being civil, but after what Mr. Bright did to
this group, he's not worthy of civility from me.

Some of us toughened up and worked to clean up this group to the best of our
abilities, and some turned their backs and went elsewhere. Fine with me if
they wanted to leave, but they shouldn't expect come back here and get away
with snide little comments like "freakin' minnows" without someone like
myself letting you know what they think.

I've done more to keep this group readable than Dale ever did. If he or
anyone else wants to come here and talk racing, that's fine. But if he wants
to come here and talk trash, he'll get the response he deserves.
