Will we see more conspiracy theorists flock to the site here ?
It think it may have been a conspiracy , put forth by the Daily Star , to discredit the forum and flood it with theorists , for it's constant ridicule of the finest British press . That MI5 agent , his hooker wife , and Martin Brundle are all likely involved .
Timo did not act alone . Look to the grassy knoll .
Does anybody else get a ton and a half of script errors on the Daily Star page? :s
Ahh, more sour grapes. It's very unfortunate for all you anti-Hamilton fools that you have picked him to hate. You couldn't have picked a worse prospect for suppression. It's a repeat of the Senna/Schumacher resentment, but now with extra bile.
And for all the half-wits outside this forum that can't see past the race issue - which I'm sure plays a significant part in all this resentment - Lewis is as much white as he is black, so I don't see how there could be a problem with him anyway.
The daily scrag didn't actually show any racial abuse at all. Once the helmet goes on Lewis could be of any racial background and I think it'll be a very very small amount of people who make issue with it. Why are people anti-hamilton fools just for not supporting him? :confused:
I didn't say that. Read again. I was addressing those who hate him. I didn't say 'all you non-Hamilton-supporting fools' did I?
Also I made no reference to the Daily Star as perpetrating the race issue. Read again. I was addressing everywhere but this forum, to encompass ALL accounts of race-related bile that are out there.
Fair enough but what were you referring to and why post in this thread if it wasn't directed at someone on this thread? I have yet to see someone who hates Lewis on this forum. I don't like him but I don't hate him......
I was referring to the numerous accounts of racist abuse that have been directed at Lewis throughout the racing season.
I was posting about the anti-Hamilton situation because it is an entirely relevant point, related to the thread's subject. The fact that I addressed issues outside this forum and separated certain issues from this forum is entirely in keeping with the intended purpose for internet forums.
The hate situation is subjective. I'm sure you don't live in a world where everything is literal. I certainly don't. There is certainly a far greater level of resentment for Lewis than could reasonably be explained by the fact that people are jealous of his ability.
A driver being disliked is nothing new just look at MS one of the most hated drivers ever by some and that was nothing to with race. Nor is some Spanish fans hurling abuse. They don't hate him because he is black but because he is opposition to thier favourite driver.
