Jonathan,

Trust me, Dude! The shouting doesn't work either, as those who've been here awhile can attest to.(you should have read some of MY tirades about "our beloved leader" a few months back....you're a PIKER compared to ME, kid!!!)

BUT, the ONLY thing you're going to succeed in doing if you continue with THIS tactic, will be to invite the wrath and scorn of those "true believers" who frequent this site.

SOOOOOO, my suggestion is(and it's seemed to work juuuuuust a liiiittle bit better since I've resorted to it) is to use as much SARCASM and INNUENDO(subtlety's b*stard step-children) as much as humanly possible, in order to get whatever point across to those whom you're trying to reach.(ESPECIALLY at a MOTORCYCLE WEBSITE...an environment NOT neccessarily known to be a HOTBED of LIBERAL politics)

TRUST ME! The people around here are smarter than you give 'em credit for. They'll pick up on your scorn for "certain things" reeeeeeally quickly, if you'll just preface your comments with those TWO afformentioned tactics!

Unfortunately though, you'll ALSO be known around here as one of the resident "ICONOCLASTS"(according to Mr.Webster..."a person who attacks cherished beliefs..or..a person who destroy images used in religious worship[esp. hist.]in the 8th and 9th century churches in the East")

Cheers,
Dwight
(look kid....I'd like to have a friggin' NICKEL for every time somebody around here ACTUALLY AGREES with me about somethin', and they'll start their little missives with.."I CAN'T believe I'm saying this, but I agree with DWIGHT about[fill in the blank]"....but don't worry kid, THAT gets FUN after a while TOO)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
