What an unpleasantly spiteful turn this thread seems to have taken. Just one question - this is the flapperjack thread, and we all know what a flapperjack is, how can this get any more spiteful than to call someone a flapperjack?

Depends on who the person is LR - I mean, Horton has repeatedly brought the sport into disrepute. I think we would all agree that calling him a flapperjack is not only fair, it's also quite reasonable in the circumstances. What it is not however, is spite.
What we have here though is unprovoked bitching about a person who, not so long ago was helpful enough to assist with arranging a rider interview for the site. There are comments posted earlier regarding Rory's parents - I'd hazard a guess that many of those taking sideswipes at them both here and elsewhere have never even met them, and in many cases don;t actually know Sandie either. If someone wants to nominate one of those people as a flapperjack then by all means just go ahead - but to use the thread just for pointless bitching, in part at least because it's the "fashionable" way to proceed on here seems a bit poor to me.
If people don't like my views, fair enough, but please don't expect me to stand by and watch a friend of mine being rubbished eh?

Witch if you're talking about "Hizzy", I'm afraid after reading their posts tonight I can't see where you get the unprovoked bit from.

I'm not talking about Hizzy wacks - to be honest all the protaganists on that thread are as bad as one another, and now assorted hangers on are joining in it's turning into a full on playground scrap. As I posted on there, none of them are coming out with any credit whatsoever. My post above, however, refers to the comments aimed at Sandie, and Mr & Mrs Schlien.

What an unpleasantly spiteful turn this thread seems to have taken. A direct result of the demon drink it would appear. Hmmm... Subedei, Hortonfan or Lupus Kev? Or perhaps all three?

I know Sandie, I've met Sandie. I'm fully prepared to admit that she's a finer person than I am. She has manifold good qualities. But, she does drop the odd name now and again and again and again.

People constantly have a go at Sandie for this - fact is though that she DOES know Rory - she runs his bloody fan club for goodness sake! As a result of this she also knows his parents - should she just not mention them or something lest it offends someone who chooses to see it as name-dropping? To be honest Sub - I have absolutely no issue with the way you've phrased your comment above - it's an honest opinion, intelligently phrased. What I do have a problem though is the seemingly needless and random way that others have used Rory's name coming up to have yet another repetitive dig at Sandie! As for the Blanchards and their legal action threat, that thread is a disgrace to this forum and should be taken down, regardless of the truth or otherwise of the comments therein, it shows none of its protagonists (from either side) in a good light. Assuming that some of the comments being levelled at the Blanchards have any bearing in truth (I don't know, and in all honesty don't care - if they have a medical problem it's none of my business) then some of the comments also leave a somewhat nasty taste as they are dealing with what is, to all intents and purposes, an illness.

Okay folks, enjoy the Weird World while you can, the Blanchards are threatening legal action. Do a few screen saves and tell them to bring it on..........there may be a few people who've got a few little gems/pm's stored away that could prove to be vital evidence.

Schumi suggested a situation whereby a hint of blackmail was involved. If that threat is actioned we will respond in hopefully taking the site off. Its your call. You have all achieved your intentions of making us feel very unhappy when all we are guilty of is trying to assist injured riders and prevent the likes of subedei and 'slurry' continuing to hurt those who stand up to them. It does not matter if we are drunk or sober we are not a waste of space, we do not have an hidden agenda like those who run this forum. Denise A situation? Blackmail? You really don't know me at all do you Denise? But, your call. Just remember YOU came here and started this tonight.

What I do have a problem though is the seemingly needless and random way that others have used Rory's name coming up to have yet another repetitive dig at Sandie! The problem, as I see it, is two fold. First off, Sandie often comes across as someone who goes out of her way to be best friends with riders and their family. And as someone not averse to the rest of the world knowing of her "connections". It annoys some, irritates other and amuses others (me, hence my "throw away comments" on the BSF and here earlier). Secondly, Rory Schlien doesn't come across as the most "sympathetic" of characters and a lot of people aren't devastated when he fails. And he has failed an awful lot this season, culminating in his being dropped by the Bees.
