No Jack it compromises nothing from here forward. I had communications with P over other issues in the past, the previous one been the broadcasting of premium SMS numbers (with no call costs) on Tellytrack which they took steps to ensure doesn't happen again.

i suggest a truce between CP AND Abc and please believe me its nothing to do with me CP is not a personal friend of mine but i think this is getting out of hand .


We are adul;ts not children i think CP will benefit threough all the free publicity and i think his site is worth reading.

but fighting is silly.

Chris,

You are indeed in the position to know more than us on the outside.

But sadly you miss the point, its not what he said or what you said that is in question. I dont condone threats of any sort especially if it makes ones family feel threatened BUT if that was the case you should have gone to the police.

You chose to go to his employer and make it a racial thing. If you felt he was/is a racist ( and i have stood shoulder to shoulder with you on this topic against other comments by others) THEN you should have followed a legal course.

You HAVE IMVHO devalued any racial claim by people in the future that are truly victims of racsism, you have fallen into the "is it because i is black" comment. A comment sadly used far to often in the UK and now clearly in SA.

I read what he sadi and states that some "evidence" is from 2007. SHAME ON YOU if you felt this strong about it then you should have acted legally against him. This looks like a spiteful reaction and that is a trait far far worse than racism/bullying/slander/libel.

I hope you can read this with a claer mind and understand that at no point should you have ever contacted his bosses.

I presume you watched his show? I dont as i am abroad but did you see any value in him being there? Do you think others saw value in him being there? Do you think its fair for him to have lost his job based on what you said? Why not go to the police?

Easy says, "This looks like a spiteful reaction and that is a trait far far worse than racism/bullying/slander/libel."
A spiteful reaction worse than racism ? I think not, easy.
And yes, you dont have sight of half of it or you would reconsider your statement.

really

well oh wise you explain the following to me. Someone insults you racially and you do nothing about it for months, you wait and wait yet you live in a country that will NOT tolerate racism and the ammount of avenues open for you to seek recourse are plenty.

yes it is worse than racism , because to deal with a racist is easy. I wont deal with them, but a spiteful snake is different as i might be forced to deal with them without knowing.

i might not have sight of one half of it but i have sight of the other half

You obviously dont have all the facts.
The racial statements were directed at blacks in general. Do you condone that as well ?
And how do you know what steps Chris has taken or tried to in the past to address this ?

Two wrongs dont make a right..neither Charl nor yr action Chris is defendable.

Two wrongs never make a right.
(Snap! Apologies to Oscar, only saw your comment after posting)

Freeracer may be a racist, certainly he has sailed very close in the past, but that wasn't the issue this time, was it? It should have been taken on then.

The bloke may have worked for Hustler in the past too, but that doesn't make this about porn either.

The whole story is sure to come out in due course.
We can then re-open the debate when all the facts are on the table.
Goodnight.

goodnight cukoo im in sun city with kids football tournament./

I'm sure you'll resist the urge to Fix anything Marlon? lol.

I have read some mature comments by Charl Pretorius on Freeracer today, that this matter should end and that we must move forward. I echo this. Actions speak louder than words though. A very mature approach will be to remove the attack on ABC from his front page, just as he removed the attack on SA Horseracing.com. Respect must be earned.

Freeracer and ABC are very different animals. SA Racing needs both, as it needs Sporting Post, SA Horseracing.com and all the others. I definitly read them all.
