Right, I haven't posted in the internal thread yet, nor have I watched the replay (no time, need sleep, but the gif and peoples descriptions of the replay give me a decent idea). However, I have a few points to add that I think everyone involved should probably think about.


Wings was being slightly too aggressive trying to get past in that particular place, although to be fair there was room and he likely didn't expect another car to be blocking his intended line.
I have seen much worse from others being chased and I'm sure you're no exception.

You were being too aggressive by deliberately pushing a car you knew was there into the barrier.


In racing, if you push someone who has a clear overlap off the track or into a wall *because you were taking your normal line*, would you expect to get a penalty for it? (hint: yes)

In real life, if someone brushed past you enough to scrape, but not unsettle your car, would you shove them into a ditch/barrier? (hint: if you think yes, I hope to never meet you on the road)

(Most people probably consider normal driving on our servers to be somewhere between that of real life road driving and racing, so I think both analogies apply)

So being fair is bad judgement?

IMO, you both did something wrong, and if anything, what you did Bez was worse. There's a difference between being too aggressive and deliberately shoving another car into a barrier. Retaliation does not in any way make what you did OK.

Pipa was considering that both of you did something equally wrong and that either both or neither of you should be punished.
TBH, he's being *very* fair and the only potential bad judgement I see is that he's not treating deliberately shoving another car into a barrier as worse. I'd stop complaining if I were you.
