feels funny,

12 months ago to the hour I was getting ready to get off a train and walk to work for another typical Friday. Bathurst 1000 was so close, I was excited and waiting for my holidays to start just 1 week later.

I was listening to the exact same songs on my ipod while I waited for the train to arrive at the station. I didnt know it would be a sad sad day.

12 months on I'm not getting ready to get off a train for work, I'm getting ready to lead at least 20 Holdens to the Mountain to pay tribute to the man. Afterall, he is the reason most of those attending are driving what they drive. He has brought us together.

The Brock spirit lives on

its sad alright just the other day i was watching a dvd with him in it signing autographs and it blew me away cant believe its been a year already to..

[minux]

I wish it had been 10 years...sick of hearing about it. I fail to see why people admired him so much. He did nothing special, its not like he cured cancer....

What you mean nothing special?? You just don't see it do you?

Mate, that is poor form.

He is one of the best and finest drivers out there, he died doing what he loves just like what Steve Irwin did.

By the way, Brock spirit lives on.

So now i cant have my own opinion?

As for one of the finest drivers...what did he do on the world stage of driving that was so great? Oh he drove Australian cars in Australian events.

Loads of people die everyday doing what they love doing, do you see those people being honoured?

I'll keep this out of this thread...

Doesn't mean you have the right to abuse your "opinion" to make yourself look like a . You just basically pissed on everyone who looked up to him. It's alright though, because no one will say anything, because you're a mod. ***Rolls eyes***

I know I'll probably get banned, or get another infraction, but hey I'm entitled to my "opinion" of you.

Anyway R.I.P Brocky. You're still one of the greatest in my view.

Uh huh, i abused my opinion. If people wish to say anything to me they can, just dont call me a wanker and it wont land you in strife. there is always someone that has to resort to name calling showing their maturity.

this is what i feel, i will say it. I am not pissing anyone, i just don't comprehend why people look up to this man who did nothing in life except drive a car.

Agreed.

He was a good driver at a domestic level. But cmon, everyone gets out their pitchforks if you do anything but gush about how he was the greatest individual to grace our earth.

He was a driver, who died of a very likely occupational hazard. He's not the first driver to die racing.

Why sabotage a thread where people are saluting a man they deem to be a hero? Moderator or not you certainly don't have the right to express yourself openly and in such an aggressive way. Start your own thread and let fly there but don't turn this into an all out attack on a Aussie racing legend. As a moderator aren't you the ones who monitor threads to insure no one is pushing peoples buttons the wrong way? Might pay to take a trip back to moderators school and sit through the do's & dont's again. Just BACK OFF with your attacks.

How is he attacking? He just fails to see why people laud him as the greatest human being ever.

Crazy cult people..

Absolutley.

If Minux had've kept his opinion to himself, then I see no problem. Inappropriate to express his negative thoughts in what is supposed to be a rememberence thread. It's a sad day when someone who is meant to uphold the values, and integrity of a forum opens themselves up in such a way, that could ruin a tribute thread for someone that many people considered a hero.

I took great offence to what he said, and that's why I've let him have a piece of my mind. Even if it does cause me to get banned.

It's none of his business why people think highly of Peter Brock. None at all.

If people want to shrine themselves in Peter Brock rememberence everyday for the rest of their lives, let them. It doesn't make you any better by questioning peoples' decisions on who they class as heroes or not.

It's like that Italian tenor bloke who died yesterday. I don't even know who he was, but I'm sure many people will be hurt by his loss, and I'm sure they think he's a hero in the classical music world, but does that mean I should question the people that think highly of him? Hell no.

[AttaBoy]

Exactly, this thread is for people to pay their respect to Brock. People who dislike him or have no respect for, should stay out of this thread. Simple.

[JD]

R.I.P Brocky.

And for you all flaming minux, he's entited to his opinion and i don't think he was trying to disrespect anyone.

Cheers, you are exactly right.

People just get pissed off because it is against what they believe.

As for the others, this is a PUBLIC forum, not a private forum. If i wish to add my my thoughts i will. Just because i am a moderator it does not mean i cannot do this. If you wish to hold a forum where you only see the praises of something then create a website and do this.

As for the person who mentioned my attacks, i am the only one who has been attacked for stating my opinion.
