If you consider yourself a journalist, then a little consistency wouldn't go astray.
I completely agree with your post, but your unwillingness to either comment on, or dig into, real issues and stories involving the biggest names and highest levels of the sport leave a little to be desired. Picking the low hanging fruit is easier I guess.
And while I know this is your house and that I am a guest here, if I get clicked for this quite reasoned and measured post, then any claims to freedom of speech (and freedom in general) you guys all like to claim with almost exclusivity ring a little hollow.
I'm sure I will cop a barrage of incoming from a bunch of self-appointed GuyB defenders and that's fine. I have my opinions of them too.
I felt compelled to write this post as while I respect your opinion, experience and contribution to the motocross industry, you also seem to have a contempt for the members of your own forum which is quite distasteful.
As you were men.
I'm mostly disappointed in myself that I didn't get shots of him using the Tuf-Blox as a punching bag.
The points raised / questions asked in my post were treated with the same contempt, or to put it more fairly, fobbed-off with the same level of effort as the standard of journalistic vigor he brings to investigating stories that may embarrass or take the shine off a factory rider or prominent motocross industry identity.

This is a kid, not a professional mxer. Compassion would look as good on the average poster on this forum as good temper would have looked on this kid.
You're a long way from getting clicked. You'll have to work much harder.
Between Motodrive, and the time at Vital, I've been the admin of this forum for over 15 years. It's usually pretty easy to spot the members who enjoy the sport and want to have a good time, and the ones who just want to be anti-social and get attention for it.

I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm making a point based on obs that have been bothering me for a while. I can't help it if you have thin skin. It's called a discussion.
It was not my intent to derail the thread. Just raise a point / ask a question I felt needed to be raised / asked.
And all due respect, that linked thread and your contribution to it is your rebuttal to my post? Really?
***EDIT***
If you think my post was anti-social for the sake of seeking attention and not a fair and legitimate question, then you have truly been living in your own kingdom and like all kings, feel free to exercise your power and click my account.
And thanks for not clicking me!
