Were meant to be encouraging people to share, not throwing sh!t at them for sharing.Read back to yourself what you've written above there WORM, and then tell me how that doesnt fall into the Tall Poppy category? Most of your comments toward the builder has to do with money. Money is the root of Tall Poppy Syndrome. As for Shanan, its his choice whether he wants to share his expierience with us all or not. I speak to him over the phone to pick his brain about what he's done to achieve what he has. He chooses not to voice his expierience over the forum to the extent others do. In my opinion, this doesnt make him greater then others who do. We are here to learn from each other, and that being said, im sure alot of people have learnt about big set ups through this particular thread. It seems those who know this is beyond there spectrum of ability are the ones who are first to fire a shot.It takes more then just money to achieve a record breaking result.Maybe anyone who wants to speak about their build or achievements should fall under a salary cap to make it a legitimate result? P.S. Im a Mark Webber fan. Maybe you should appreciate all the hard work he has had to put in to start winning GP's.

I.e. are you just using the two limiters and the exit speed cos this method has zero retard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see everyone being put down unless they are already feeling a little inadequate to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 7m 4d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 04/08/10 04:19 AM Share Posted 04/08/10 04:19 AM You are right...I just read what tall poppy syndrome is... Someone who has lots of money and puts everyone down around him cause they can't do what he can as they don't have the income to achieve it...I don't remember the GTECH boys anywhere saying "step up bitches" when they ran the 8... And throwing out their ego anywhere... You can't be both arrogant and not expect some flack...In regards to Mark Webber... This is an exact parallel... The "hype" of how great he was, didn't match the success in the time frame... He is awesome... He works extremely hard and is very fit... And I'm glad he is achieving success... My point was that it was a given that he was a born GP superstar... Like Casey Stoner or Michael Phelps...I've said my piece... Good luck with the 10...Thread unsubscribed...

I dont understand why not just go out again with same setup, im sure u could improved 0.05sec with a better take off, colder weather or better gear changing etc etc.Should of just gone back the week after. Either way...I still say throw a power glide in there and chance down the gtech boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIRO F6 Member 1,817 Member For: 16y 1m 7d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane, QLD Posted 04/08/10 04:34 AM Share Posted 04/08/10 04:34 AM Definition of Tall Poppy Syndrome:Tall poppy syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term used in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand to describe a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticised because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers. (taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome)Dont know where your reading your definition from Worm.As for your comment on Webber, he left Australia with very little success under his belt. It wasnt until 1996 when he won the Formula Ford Festival in the UK that anyone paid any attention to him.If it wasnt for David Campese assisting him in finding funding to be able to move up to F3 in 97, he would never have made it to where he is today.Spiro and Webber = No comparison. Spiro is more like Christian Horner then Webber.Paul from Elite = Webber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIKO Gold Donating Members 1,924 Member For: 19y 10m 20d Gender: Male Posted 04/08/10 04:45 AM Author Share Posted 04/08/10 04:45 AM What truly amazes me is the few people that actually criticize in this thread and do not enjoy it for what it is only choose to comment on the nature and process I use do defend myself when attacked? Is this not my sovereign right cry babies? If you are man enough to dish it out you should be able to receive it just the same, hence the often quotation PLAYERS You start the game and I will Finnish it..... The rules are simple among-st men..None of the above offended individuals that are quick on the keyboard have noticed nor care about everything that I actually do for the community....... Which is more than most especially them. So instead of providing encouragement, support, understanding, compassion, forgiveness & humility as a community should if they are so concerned they actually choose to instead, that's fine as long as they are prepared to receive it in return..The actual process in this thread without the bullsh*t will benefit the whole community and it's members in the end, however these people and they know who they are will never say thank you for anything let alone the fact that I actually take the time to bring you guys news, R&D, humor & entertainment as often as I do.All in all very disappointing..
