******.....someone lock all these threads. Better yet delete them. Do any of these whiners have a clue what it takes to deal with all this nonsense!!!! This is NOT the place for it. This is a motorbike forum. People like Benny should be rewarded for their hard work. After running a Jeep forum for years and owning a bunch of gaming servers with forums I understand and personally would not deal with any of this crap. I commend you Benny and the other moderators. Don't let it discourage you. Keep up the good work!!!!!



Thanks for pointing that out Kars. This, as I've been told SOOO many times, is a bike only forum. Therefore, we shouldn't see stuff about Blue Moon beer(which is good by the way), jokes, unless specifically bike related, or shocking onesself with stunguns, etc....

My friend tried my stun gun on himself. "Only" a 40k volt model though. Funny as hell to all that witnessed. Not so funny to poor Tom. It was almost as funny as the time he sprayed my mace out the window of a moving car. He is a rather intelligent person, just not much common sense. Use to keep a croc for a pet in a bedroom of a house we rented together. Thankfully he does not ride!




I agree, the moderator job is a thankless one. As for namecalling about all of us "whiners", yep, that certainly meets the intent of the AUP. I find it funny that us whiners are constantly chastised about our conduct, but it's the "non-whining bike forum only" crowd who introduce equally as many non-bike topics, so enough of the hypocrisy. Frankly, this whole argument, and lately the behavior and attitude on this site is getting about as stale as the old now-verboten Political discussions-FROM ALL SIDES!! Just my worthless 2 cents, but it seems EVERYONE HERE, Mods included, needs to take about 2 steps back from the site, and take a deep breath. Again, just my opinion, but it seems things lately on here are going the wrong way. You may respect my opinion or flame me, I can't control that, and frankly don't care. I will simply give back the same level of respect that I am treated with. And, I kind of thought that was the whole intent of the AUP (at least the way I read it), that we treat each other with respect, and those that step out of line get thumped, GOOD AND HARD. Now it's come down to slamming shut the door on any topic deemed "unacceptable", even if all members are behaving, and even if all members are in agreement on the topic. I don't know where this site is heading, and it was a lot more enjoyable at one time (even when there weren't heated debates), now it just feels like we have to weigh each and every word for fear of smiting. So much for a bunch of adults....
