Credibility
 

Can anyone see any reason why the administrator of this portion of the OSO site should not institute a policy where in order to make a post here, the writer should be REQUIRED to use their real name, verified, in advance, by the administrator.

All of these posts by people who appear to need a Vail in front of them to speak their mind make it easy to print a lot of things that they, obviously, would never write if they had to own up to it, and sign their name to it.

Perhaps this might eliminate a lot of the rhetoric, wheel spinning and name calling.

Credibility is in a name ! I dislike guessing games so I always use my real name. It does not take long for the eyes here to see who you really are with whatever handle is used. Jo

I agree 100%
Let's hope the BoardGods agree also. Might bring things into clear view.
It would be interesting to see who "names up", and who disappears...

If you tell the truth you don't have to hide.

Great idea.

Wetpits had this policy since day 1. That did not - and the access records bear that out - prevent other people from using other people's names. Or from signing on under false credentials.

OSO has something even better. They have our credit card number. Instead of an insincere "Let's Name Names" drive (answered by those who's names are well know anyway ...) how about allowing OSO to charge a subscriber $100 for each false flag operation? At the very least, it would turn cheap shots into somewhat pricier shots ...

That is true, however, anyone can use a friends credit card and name and enter the (bull****) (bashing) hiding like a (*****) behind a monitor causing all kinds of **** for the sake of what.

Can we all just get along and race and worry about are own ****. Someone is going to get hurt one day with this pu$$y ****

True, and it's happening as we speak. Now I'd think if my bull**** bashing would cost my friend $100 per instance, he won't be my friend for long and would change the access codes on me ... if not: Extra source of revenue for OSO.

Talking smack for smackeroos!

The Godfather, The Don,The Boss,Boss, Whore, Tramp,Son Of A $itch, Rat Ba$Tard... and a whole lot more that my Dad has called me. I have a lot of names but August "Augie" Pensa is my given name... Albert, I'm glad you know me and my name, that's a left jab followed by a right cross you just threw. Peconic, give it up...tell them who you are and go easy, your using The Jersey Boyz at the bottom of your posts. I don't ever what anyone thinking or saying anything NEGATIVE about The Jersey Boyz because of a remark. Augie

Good idea Gregg,
Steve, I will see you in Marathon and it looks like stock class is going to take the show! We had 8 SV a few weeks ago in Marathon but APBA and SBI both have races on the Weekend of the 12th so our class will probably have 4 to 6 boats.

You shouldn't have to hide when you speak the truth and are credible.

Re: Credibility
 

Troutly, for an avid poster like him to disappear for 2 days is a little fishy. Still no comment.

Re: Credibility
 

Its about time I come out of the closet. Reading and listening over the past few years and not responding has taught me what some are made of.. Lady Luck here, named after my 38'Poker run boat and new ( rookie) driver for Pier 57 Super V 38 Fountain based in Sarasota. Just be gently-Some post are just harsh-- I 'm a good listener . Just having fun and enjoying life at full throttle.

It's nice to see the sport making a postive comeback.
