Hugh, I guess you're claiming every spectator in the stands at those Little League games was a parent of a player, huh?

 

Never once in eight years paid to attend a HS football game at Norcross...

 

Also noticed you avoided the point about the rally spectators...

Just curious, if the LLC agreed to close "Slot Chat", would the TM agree to close their private version "Just Slots" ?

 

I am not a representative of either side so I cant be willing to say they would do that, it was just a question. Perhaps if both sides were agreeable it would be "one step closer"?

Ralph,

 

There is no "Just Slots" private Facebook page or group started, run, or operated by IRRA™. Anyone who claims otherwise is either very misinformed or intentionally lying.

I'll go out on a 'limb' here... I don't 'do' Facebook or internet C21H23 NO5 . :crazy:
 
And this has me totally lost.  :wacko2: Bob who? Me?  :laugh2:  Who wrote this?... if that is addressed to me I'll respond.


Mike,

You edited my post and cleaned yours up. Do you really think I couldn't handle the 'fried brain Facebook microwave' comment or now are you just showing your nicer side? :laugh2:

No, I didn't and you keep avoiding the question;

Bob,

Do posts like the below on an FB page seen (yesterday or today) by about 60 racers,  from LLC officials look like ones from an org holding out an olive branch?

Sorry if I was misinformed about it being a "TM" run page.

Bob,

Someone did...
 

My post was directed to you, Bob Israelite.
 
Is the above recent Facebook post one of an org really wanting reconciliation?

 

Bob I,

A simple "Yes" or "No".
 
No posts of YouTube videos needed. :)

 

Hang on Mike .. I don't avoid simple questions but do read other slot car stuff too, like vintage.
 
The answer Is - No

I'm not a Facebook expert.
 
All I know about it is how to post videos of my grandkids, shooting baskets with fast-food wrappers and pics of plates of unhealthy food...

...and finding out immediately about Wes' Friday night escapades.
 
In my profile on my computer, would I see it if it was private page?

Also, just to be clear I never stated you posted on the Facebook page.
 
I think it's private, if that's the case you can't find it in a search, you have to be invited. I'm not a member either.
 
Yes, I've even seen some of my "filmings" on your page before I think, LOL.

Nope... let's get this crap straight here... Little League is Little League... nobody PAYS TO WATCH THE GAME... however High School Football and Basketball... In Gwinnett County you have to pay admission to get in...but I guess everybody in Norcross is special and don't have to pay huh??

As far as the Rally spectators... I didn't click on the link so I would not have a clue.

I tell you what... why don't you climb down off your holier than thou high horse and quit trying to humiliate everybody with your superior use of your thesaurus and kiss my redneck ***... I'm done here.

Bob,

99% of the time when posted are edited to conform to the Slotblog stylesheet, it is done by me, though members (who have an eight hour editing "window") often revise their own posts before that window closes.

Ralph is correct.

FWIW, I am told that the Facebook "Just Slots" private page was started by Josh Crutchfield for his own reasons. It absolutely has no official ties to IRRA™ and in fact, if there are IRRA™ BoD member who have been invited to join, I don't know who they are. Mike Swiss says he hasn't been nor have I.

Cap, this entire thread has little or no connection to the R4.

And to be accurate, the thread is in the R4 subforum, not on an R4 "page".
