To be honest, its ridiculous. It is censorship in its worst form. If this is the way it's going to be then this will be another forum that I leave and not post at. I will stay current with my other forums that dont mind if I post about Danica or something else 10 times a day.

No it's not ridiculous when it's one driver and you don't need multiple threads focused on little pieces of minutiae news about her daily movements and what she had for lunch today. If it's a major announcement that is newsworthy that is one thing, but PR pap is another when it comes to posting a bazillion different threads. If fact, IRC a few years ago this forum started a section of the forum to post press releases as the forum was getting overwhelmed by a million different PR puff threads. None of us here share your heightened state of awareness and interest in danica and if someone does they'll be chock a block happy to pore over this thread with interest. |

Whilst I admire DF's unstinting enthusiasm for all things Danica, having it all in one thread makes sense to me personally as I don't rate her at all, not one little bit.
She's a just okay pro race driver, no more than that. Good luck to her & to DF but too many threads about her (& more than one is too many) is really not deserved. Hope that DF chooses to stay but if not, no great drama. |

BTW in the past Montoya (when we had still hope he would win a oval race ) had his own topic, so Danica is not the first. |

Well I for one am enraged that we don't have millions of Danica Patrick threads.
Absolutely seething I am. |

You are more than welcome to post all you want about the lady of your life, but having hundreds of threads on fundamentally similar things just clutters what is a fairly quiet forum. I don't start hundreds of Montoya threads for this reason. Another bonus is there will be less criticism of Danica in a thread of her own because haters will ignore the thread. Think about that: a thread where Danica fans can get each other hyped and excited without too much outside interference. Heaven! Whereas thread #357 will attract derogatory comments. Everyone is happy. |

Well I guess we can all disagree but I still think its a bit much. Because what will come next, a one lump thread for all races in a season ? Who knows ?
Oh well, nothing personal to anyone but I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the racing season. It should be a good one. Maybe I will see you all at the track ! |

Clearly each race is a different narrative worthy of its own.
A new livery is a small part of one big Danica story. |

Isn't a policy of the forum to merge threads of similar topic into one thread? Obviously with all the news relating to Danica that seems to come up, we need a separate thread to keep the forum tidy, it's a common practice within 10-Tenths. I'm sure if more Clint Boywer news comes up (and believe me, I'll be the first to get it on this forum), then perhaps we should consider having a thread for him? Anywho, back on topic. What's Danica been up to lately then? |

Hardly. Besides, millions of kids and adults enjoy the living crap out of Mario Kart. Let Danica have her thousands in an uninspired knock-off of the real Mario Kart with characters that never mattered in a very long time. |

My six year old is highly offended by this unwarranted and utterly uncalled for attack on a completely innocent and defenseless hedgehog.

To be fair, most Danica threads are actually "race threads", just race threads that she is in. If people don't like it, then start the race threads yourself before DanicaFan does
Don't leave DanicaFan, there shouldn't be any problem with mentioning her toilet breaks in this thread |

Hope he's not completely defenseless, needs something to protect him from Mario's antics and Danica's tantrums. Sorry, that one was too good for me to pass up.

Word just in that danica ate at Panera Bread today. No details yet on what exactly she had for lunch but it was believed to be some sort of soup and sandwich combo. Hopefully danicafan is on the ball and can fill us in on the details as they become available.

Looking forward to seeing Danica on a road course this weekend. Or at least vaguely near the road course. In some gravel.

To be fair, wasn't all Danica's early career based around open-wheeled formulae on road circuits?
Sadly, I think that she is more than likely to end up in the kitty litter at some point, as I believe she is overly aggressive, and doesn't possess the fine judgement to pull out of situations which are likely to result in extreme negative outcomes....
