I find it ironic that the name of the website is "Dirt on Dirt" but they don't really want to report TMZ style dirt.

Thanks for the insight DoD, good post. Since you are reading this thread now I do have one suggestion (I don't know if I'm the only person who would appreciate this). Would it be possible to create like a Spoiler-Free place to sign in and watch the highlights from the previous night? I subscribed to NHL.tv this past hockey season and they had an option for this and it was great. I like to login on Saturday and Sunday mornings to watch all the highlights from the previous night but often the homepage has a picture of one or two of last nights winners, and if it does not I still have to scroll past the recap thumbnails that usually have a picture of the race winner. Its not a huge deal but was just thinking that might be cool or helpful. Thanks, Jeff.

+1 on this

I understand Michael and DOD position but it is too bad that promoters & series/sanction bodies cannot accept some justified criticism. There are way too many moving parts to the Izzo, Ump, Best situation for me to understand but to see what happened at Sharon Lucas race brushed off as a rough track is beyond sugarcoating. Lucas & Sharon screwed fans royally there & deserve and should understand any criticism they get.

DOD is held to much higher standards, not to mention they can call and discuss issues directly with most series, tracks, drivers etc and if they feel it news worthy they report it. (Dang good job bty) Without DOD information, live ppv races etc would not be as good as they are. I respect what Michael said in his statements and understand his company's position. In today's world many expect things now, unfortunately some things (LaSalle deal) just cant happen that quick. When its time the rest of the story will be told and available, until then it really does no one any good to speculate, or point fingers.
It was reported many weeks ago that Sharon had added a bunch of new clay, any track that goes through a project like that deserves some patience from everyone involved, it looked like they did the best they could with all things considered.
Praying that everyone in the flooded area's are safe, and healthy!!

Rigsby, Todd Turner is da man!! Love his reporting and articles. My all time favorite "Throwing cautions to the wind" from National Dirt Digest days. And anything on track intermissions. Lol. ...keep up the great work. DoD, proud to pay that bill every month.

I feel the same as "Thanks, Jeff" about the videos on DoD. I always try to avoid seeing the results and go as far as to try to guess where the play button is while avoiding the screen cap of the finish. It would be great if DoD could avoid using the finish of the race for screen caps.

As for the rest of the discussion, I admire DoD for not participating in gossip or expressing an opinion on controversial issues. They give us the facts so we can debate/argue about it if we are so inclined. I think they do a great job of that. I want news. I can form my own opinion.

As for the original question, I don't like the constant complaining from people about the harm caused by negative social media. Social media is a place where any idiot can say whatever F'd up thing they like. Anyone that uses it should know that and take what they read on it accordingly.

Rigsby asked people to "think" before posting. No harm in saying that. I wish more people made that request. However the interweb is filled with trolls and flamers. When you complain about it, all you do is feed their egos by giving them the attention they crave and end up encouragimg them to do it more. Successful Troll is succesful.

Further, it makes the people that complain about the negativity either sound like wimps that can't handle the abuse or fascists trying to squelch differing opinions. Sadly it's usually the same people that use social media as a soapbox or promotional tool that complain the loudest about someone responding to them. If you're going to put yourself out there and express your opinion or if you want to say how wonderful something is, you have to expect that people that disagree are going to express their own version of the truth or worse...just be flat out a$$holes.

There are always going to be people that believe what they read online or off...regardless of the source. Although it may be extremely painful for the thin-skinned to handle when mean things are written about them, crying about it only makes it worse. Those types just have to take solace in the fact that the truth usually has a way of coming out. Stupid people will believe stupid things. Best they just get over it.
