  1. I really hope that was a show. I couldn't figure it out but it didn't seem right.
  2. Can I change my name to "Big black fuck ox"?
  3. I get that it wasn't funny but you seem to take exception to it even though its legal by your rulebook to make fun of them and that's not entirely fair. No one was making fun of people who died, they were complaining about the excessive number of R.I.P. threads that had no known personal contact with anyone here. I have an issue with someone posting in R.I.P threads with the attitude that somehow they needed killin because they weren't wearing a helmet. This was going to the point of being able to determine what is offensive to one isn't offensive to others. You are correct the helmet laws are not relevant to this discussion.
  4. Again not breaking any rules except for your disagreement with the issue. Make it a rule you can't say anything negative about R.I.P. threads you have that control. I think it's kind of shitty when someone chimes in that they should be wearing a helmet in the R.I.P. threads but I don't muddy them up with a discussion about how we all have free choice and that people who don't ride motorcycles think those who do shouldn't because there is a chance they might be killed. It's a risk we all assume to our own personal level of risk/reward.
  5. Why have all the threads in Drama Queens been closed?
  6. Fair enough I was under the wrong impression about "private" social groups. I don't understand why you took it down then. If we all had the ability to read it then the people participating in it shouldn't care if we are able to read it now. (I did read the majority of the posts before it was pulled.) If any rules were violated they should be suffering the consequences and all of us would understand clear transparent action taken. Why get rid of something that was public if it fit inside the rules? Other than the fact you didn’t like its content. If the content broke rules then why aren’t they being enforced? To my knowledge no one was banned or given a temporary suspension.
  7. I love this site & hope you won't shut it down. I am trying to make a point about people’s worth as members. I do know some of the members in that group have organized and lead group rides. Not everyone is able to contribute the same but I don't think their opinions are necessarily worthless if they aren't comfortable being front men. I have also received offers of help from people in that SG that aren't motorcycle related so in my opinion the majority of them have contributed to the motorcycle community. I would hope in hindsight that this matter would have been handled like you first ruled against. Telling the people first what you thought they were doing was wrong and that you would impose consequences to their actions. If they would have thought that to be acceptable they could have stopped what they were doing or made it public so everyone could have commented on it. But that should have been their choice. I am having a hard time understanding the difference between a Private message and a Private social group that deems one more highly regarded as Private.
  8. Just so we can be clear by your own words what level of contribution is required to offer criticism. This guideline might help people to understand what is expected of them to be members of standing worthy of being able to complain. You are the supreme ruler and shouldn’t be debating with the masses unless you care about their opinions, if that’s the case then you shouldn’t betray their trust. I have said childish things in PMs I have also said things in them that would probably get me banned. If these PMs were made public I would feel betrayed. We have the ability to PM five people at once which can be used as a mock SG. The same illegal activity can be conducted using PMs so the monitoring of SGs for illegal activity doesn’t hold water unless you are doing the same thing by monitoring PMs.
  9. I'm not so sure I would want my favorate road on some site for the cruiser guys to see to mess it up with their rolling road blocks.

    I am only guessing here but did Inya's deal fall through? I bought my new bike from Avon Honda without an issue. They are owned and managed by the same family as LE HD. Maybe it's because I went in there as white Tod and not black Tod?
  12. Okay, just checked the weather and it looks like it's going to be warmer, I know the BMW guys have bailed so is this a total no go. If I don't hear from anyone in half an hour I'm going to go take a nap and call it a day.
  13. Looks like no rain tomorrow but at 8:00 it is supposed to be 37 deg. & never get above 44 deg. all day. Not for me with new bike without my bags mounted yet so I can carry gear. Next time.

    I thought we were talking about the cock sucking model, no rebates required.
  15. I'm saying it because I can't seem to follow people's actions today some seem out of character. Maybe it's just me and everyone else is normal.
  16. WTF does everyone have their crazy hats on tonight?
  17. I too know a lot of people in that SG. I read a lot of the posts made there and thought they were harmless but from what I saw they weren't talking about me. My opinion about them might have changed had that been the case. Not that I would care if they were but most of it is stuff that could have been posted publicly, in fact I have seen worse posted. Their posts did not offend my sensibilities. Their problem was who they were talking about and how much e-power they have. This is the internet and no one likes you, acceptance is not granted.
