NO not at all and sorry if you took it that way...It is just a long going debate on the safety of plugging a MC tire around here. Many say it is ok and many say it is not. Personally I wouldn't do it, but years ago when i wasn't as financially stable as i am now i used to ride on the cords because i couldn't afford new tires so each is their own but if you do plug it just keep a good eye on it and your air pressure. Air pressure on a motorcycle can really effect stability and handling.
