Not quite sure what to make of your bullet point responses. whether a poster may or not be autistic is completely irrelevant to any point and certainly to you. You have no right to demand such answers of someone and its at best offensive. As the examples I gave you you responded with they were both racist and homophobic. So what’s different? You are assuming somebody to have a certain condition and are attacking him with it. Sorry that’s bang plain out of order. To even suggest you want it confirmed so you can ‘adjust the way I interact with him’ is shocking. The numbers, stats and facts surrounding Covid are important. This topic is not just about speedway. If you ‘don’t really care about the numbers’ then let those who are interested in the stats discuss them seeing as you aren’t interested. We’ve had a very chequered history have myself And Bwitcher, we are more speedway acquaintances than good friends and have had many good debates as well as some humdingers (as anyone who used to post in Wolfcry!). He is someone I respect at times and are infuriated the next. If you feel his behaviour is that of ‘a 12 year old schoolgirl’ why are you replying like someone in the same class and age range? There are lots of ‘facts’ about Covid19, that there is no denying whilst also lots of lies that a lot of people, myself included, are starting to pick apart. Its clear you and he aren’t going to agree on things and it’s becoming a very twit for tat standpoint. Bwitcher makes lots of very valid points, which is the main crux of this topic is to discuss all things Covid. If you aren’t ‘interested in the numbers’ I’m not really sure why you are making points on it. Just to be clear my issue is attacking someone for what you presume to have a known medical/mental health issue is just wrong. sorry, it is.

Absolutely agree. You started so well then descended into more personal comments. Yes we are a long way from ‘normal’ but it’s started to happen but likely to be halted with more fake and completely unneeded lockdowns. What you ‘suspect’ of someone is a personal thought and an attack on someone. Since when is it ok to attack someone even if they were Autistic ? If someone quotes stats and figures you can choose to believe them or not. That’s your choice. Personally speaking it’s hard to argue against those unless you can counter balance with facts that contradict them. Otherwise you are just putting your own opinion on those stats. Why should anybody confirm or deny anything personal about themselves to you?? That’s completely unacceptable and not needed. You suspect someone to be black, is it ok to say you write like a black man then? you suspect someone to be gay, is it ok to say your responses come across like a gay person?? Personally speaking you have already lost the argument when you start calling out traits of other posters. Do I know Bwitcher? Yes we have met at Speedway many times. Do I agree with him? Ask him or anyone who has a history on this and other forums and we have had many a debate and very often disagree! He posts a lot of factual information that I agree with. According to you that’s a “sad reflection of you” (me). So basically you seem to be saying if I agree with him then you won’t debate sensibly or respectfully with me which clearly is a sad reflection of you also.

All viruses are transmitted the same way. They all attack the lungs and can affect other organs and systems plus they can exacerbate any existing illness and medical condition plus are likely killers in the over 60s. We are returning to normal. Most places are now up and running . Death rates and hospital admissions are in the single figures throughout the UK. The R rate is irrelevant, ditto current positive tests if they don’t turn into deaths or hospital admissions which means those affected by positive tests aren’t needing medical intervention. We’ve never been in a better place with containing the virus. Long may that continue. These calls for lockdowns couldn’t be any more wrong. I have to say I find any attack on someone by calling them mentally ill or having a mental health issue or disability is beyond disgraceful, and have clearly lost the argument or high ground they once had.

It was a discussion about a former BSF member who was a very unpleasant person.

Except that Flu killed more people than Covid19 last week.

Yep, me too. A very unpleasant person he was. In my experience.

That’s a better explanation then. And yes I agree Lambert is miles ahead of Bewley. Bewley will do well to match where Robert is now in his career. Hopefully for the GB future he is able to reach that level but nothing is a given. At least I’ve stopped reading posts on social media from Aces fans who have been claiming Bewley is already the better prospect.

Awesome last chance heat. Pedersen 2nd to last on the last corner. That’s made my night.

Heat 16, best race of the year so far.

Boy, I’ve missed having Bydgoszcz on the GP rota. Close racing, battling and passing throughout. Ten times better than the borefest of Toruń on Saturday.

That to me is pretty much obvious. Yet you still get people (mostly Aces fans I’d imagine) still maintaining Bewley will be the better rider. An assumption based on no real facts at all. If Bewley can equal the efforts already achieved by Lambert then he will have done very well. Nothing to indicate that will be the case tho. Be great if he does tho!

Years? Robert is one year older. Bewley has stalled since his injury so unless he is able to get back on track with his potential then he can’t even be compared to the level Lambert has and is already achieving. lets hope for the future of GB he does tho.

Plech I hardly saw but don’t think many would argue with that! Id put Zmarzlik 2nd right now tho.

Gollob was a great rider that’s true. Still the best Polish rider of all time to me.

Every meeting I’ve watched this season so far Zmarzlik has looked very ordinary.

I don’t get why the commentators said it was a controversial decision. Michelsen was already ahead and cornering, Woryna completely lost his place and run out of room by his own fault. Michelsen didn’t do anything wrong so it was an easy decision for me.

I can’t see how anyone could either!

Lambert is looking the real deal this year. I assume people have stopped saying Bewley is the same level now tho.

Aah thanks, hadn’t seen that. Well that clears it up!

Any thoughts on who the rider who might not be back this year according to the recent update? Nicki P still on board as I’d assumed it would be him.

Nasty crash and Lambert had done all the hard work. Looks dreadful. I’d assume Lambert excluded?

Has Turowski learned his skills from Nicki? He is like a kamikaze pilot. dreadful team riding from Milik and Woryna.

Lambert is looking super quick this year. Not many keep Laguta honest when he gets away.

Think it’s now been made invisible to Facebook so that they don’t get swamped with invites. You may need to get added by a Facebook member now who already is a member. plus you need to be a friend of that person. im watching it on the group page now.
