When any of you have accomplished HALF of what JM has in our hobby be sure to let us know.

Previous posts.

Re: Congrats to CHP, NHRA
 

Plenty of folks have accomplished admirable things over the years. They just don't go around beating a personal drum to draw attention to it. I'm not about to go into what I've accomplished with my life, but I sure did find the little wisecrack funny. If that little funny bothers you, then maybe you should take a deep breath and count to ten. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

I don't think that Mcneish has any ego issues that I saw. Others on this site have said the same. I found him to be humble and helpful with all of my projects......and answers a lot of my stupid questions! If he chooses to put a link on his site about having a good race season, that's being a good businessman. I would do the same.

I also know that he's working on some MAJOR sponsorships for next season. I see nothing wrong with promoting a great race season.

Tim Bishop who is a life long friend of mine had nothing but high praise for Mcneish as a person and racer. Bishop and others on this site helped in my decisions on how to spend my hard earned money on an engine rebuild.

JM has been banned from this site for no particular reason. That bothers me. Mindless snide remarks are insignificant.

Hi Bob.

There's no question in my mind -- Tim is a great guy. I have no reason to believe Jerry isn't a great guy too. But sometimes what folks write and portray on internet bulletin boards and in other places comes off as self-serving. Sometimes it sounds <span style="text-decoration: underline">even more </span>than self-serving. And plenty of people (me included) don't find that particularly.... uhm flattering.

Count me out. I have nothing more to say on the topic. I'm done.

Not true. Jerry was banned from this site for personal attacks towards club members and has done nothing to warrant lifting the ban, as he continues to attack members on other sites, such the remarks regarding members taking part in the SLS. Dragging those ramarks to this site, as Bob did, is bound to draw negative comments towards Jerry.

In fairness to Jerry, I would say it would be best if his exploits were posted on other sites, not here.

Re: Congrats to CHP, NHRA
 

I just think if people are going to bash Jerry he should be able to defend himself on this or any other Site. Maybe we can get to the bottom of why he was banned from the SYC. Trial by jury be granted. About being self serving........there are many in this hobby that do that. Nobody is perfect BUT he is an excellent drag racer who IMO keeps the 302 on the map in NHRA. Should be worth something!!

Re: Congrats to CHP, NHRA
 

Sam, I stated above why he was banned, and remains banned.

Usually when one is banned we do not allow any mention of them on here, as they cannot defend themselves from negative posts, but out of respect for you and others, we allowed mention of Jerry, his racing and even his services, but when the false accusations he made towards members taking part in the SLS were made public, it became obvious Jerry has an axe to grind with the sYc. Therefore I feel it best, that comments, good or bad about Jerry, be made elsewhere.
