It's missed the bit about you finding that rude.
I am finding your claim that the term 'not being caught' was REALLY meant in the manner you now claim...... For precicsion, if it DID mean being caught by people BEHIND you.... why wouldn't you want to include CATCHING those AHEAD of you? I don't QUITE see why you'd want to do ONE of those things and not the other. I alos can't see a way that you can 'bend' the word 'caught' to FIT the concept of CATCHING...
However, as a gentleman.... if you ASSURE me that WAS your meaning, then allow me to 'cough' in surprise but you HAVE my apology if you were NOT promoting 'cheating' in your little aphorism. If that IS the case, I withdraw the 'claim'.
However, perhaps we should TEST your resiliance to the term 'cheating' by asking you if you DO in fact cross 'white lines' while racing? Do you do it REPEATEDLY? Do you do it PREMEDITATEDLY? Did you KNOW that the white line demarked the edge of the track?
Let's get the facts STRAIGHT! I CONFIRM that I do/did it and that I HAVE CHEATED in other ways, too: e.g., deliberate shunting, making other contact, etc.. I am NOT claiming to BE some form of SAINT.....whereas you seem to be claiming that for yourself!
I have 'crossed white line' to STAY with the rest of the pack (and to LEAD them, if I get/got the chance!) who are ALSO cheating in the same way! The difference is that I K*N*O*W that it's CHEATING and would like to see it STAMPED OUT so that we ALL do NOT have to do it in FUTURE! Were I to be 'blackflagged' for it then, so long as all OTHER cheaters were identically punished, I would SUPPORT the CoC who BlackFlagged me and go up and THANK him for it!
