(snip . . . ) I look at those pix and see past ideas, craftsmanship, and help solving design problems... You guys look at them and see wasted bandwidth.... i beleave you cant go forward without looking back.... Talk about wasted bandwidth, check out the introduce yourself pages, It is bloated with comments like: This is "THE place where you come for answers to your questions" and likewise "you can learn from other peoples mistakes" and yet you tossed arguably one of the sports knowledgeable historians....
Nicely written Kent and thanks for stepping up and saying it.

Sometimes ego interfers with intelect. There are a few linebackers here.

(snip . . ) I've banned Franklin Ratliff from the forum.  I don't like "having" to ban him . . . .  I hope you'll all understand that I want this to remain a vital and valid place for interchange of ideas and good wishes and will continue with your conversations as before.

At first I too sided with Frank.... until his posts became caustic and threatening.

 I could go on, but it's a moot point now.

Joea, If a website has rules, do they apply to everyone or only to certain group of people, or certain indivduals? Mike R.

Pookie, I don't think you have any idea how much trouble this guy has caused over the years. You can go to almost any web site that has to do with racing and he has been booted off. He does what he wants and posts what he wants but 99% of the time he will never answer a question but re print old articles and tell everyone he is a expert on LSR or what ever the many web sites are about. He repeats the same thing over and over and tells people it was his idea years ago.
He has been removed from this site 3 times and still hasn't learned how people feel about his ranting. There are some things that could be discussed  but under his terms. He is probably on more blocked sender lists then any one person.

Google " Franklin Ratliff " you could spend half a day reading 10+ years of internet forum disruptions by him from Land speed racing to Nasa's Casini rocket  to drag and boat racing to dead horses in colorado and on and on..... :?

Slim,

This is your website. You paid for it. You run it as you see fit. If you try to make everyone happy in life, you will go crazy. It is impossible to make some people happy, Damed if you do and Damed if you don't.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Or you can put it this way:
Damned if you do and Damned if you don't.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Oh, nevermind then.  :-D

I just did a quick search on "Franklin Ratliff" and I am blown away by the number of forums he has been banned from. He has ranted all over the place, and not only on motorsport topics, always with the same style and result. Very sad.

seriously though.......its like purchasing product from Airtech (ie my hero Kent Riches)...

.....there are expected behaviors in making a purchase from Kent....if he finds cause
to deny you product that is offered to anyone.....then he damn sure will not.......

and RIGHTFULLY so..... :-)


some websites have a "black list"...ie dead beat customers like Kents site has...

as of yet, Landracing is not doing that...

love ya Kent...

Joe :)
