I have been in the air for the past 24 hours and have just arrived home to see what has been posted on this site by people who are supposedly in love with this sport. I am shocked, dismayed and upset.

I cannot condone what has been stated on here in various postings, and it is obvious that personal feelings have had a lot to do with what has been said. That in itself is ok, but surely a modicum of decorum is warranted when making postings on a public Bulletin Board that is being read by people all over the world.

It is fine by me, to allow postings of a personal nature, but when a slanging match or downright abusiveness is openly displayed, then I have to question the freedom of the facility that I provide to you , the public.

DJ was magic for the TT, so was Mad Dog, they have both left the TT now, under different circumstances. Why can you not all appreciate these men for what they were - brave & brilliant. They have gone, will no longer grace the roads of this Island and will always be remembered for what they achieved and how they achieved it. It is all in the reords for posterity and will never be forgotten

Accidents happen, and at the TT whenever an accident happens it is always "who was to blame", "why did it happen", "who was at fault", and of course people will always try to define the root cause of any incident where a hero loses his life. "Blame" will always be subjected to conjecture and public discussion, however irrespective of personal feelings, face it - 99.9% of the losses at the TT are down to miscalculation and errors of judgement. Apart from of course loose horses being a contributing factor in one particular incident. (Mind you that was the MGP I think). (Additional comment - I stand corrected, of course it was the TT).

We have lost too many heros this year, people who should be revered by everyone and remembered for what they were - The Best at what they did.

Shut the f*uck up about who and what was to blame and remember these people with the highest regard. They were your hero's and do you think that they would condone the kind of discussion that has gone before on here ??
