Well I don't particularly think that any of this has to do with Backporch.. and if he thinks so then he is a bigger fool than he's made himself out to be. I think it has more to do with the resignation of a long standing and much respected moderator who put a lot of time in the trenches trying to keep this a pleasant place to be. FJ is a man wise beyond his years and his patience insight will be very much missed in the lounge.
But for every pat on the back we get in public forum, there are 5 pm's from members who don't like a certain picture or topics or they can't figure out the search feature or some other time consuming task. It's a balancing act that gets pretty stressful at times.. do we allow this pic? how about that one? These are the things you don't see that demand our time.. our personal/family/riding time.
Members can talk about anything in the lounge, music, cars, family and pretty much whatever you'd like and all we ask is that your discussions provide a positive and relaxed atmosphere. We're bikers.. we ride to relax...at least I do. This is the clubhouse folks not the country club.. and it is simply not the place for heated political/religious debate.
Finally.. I resent being referred to as a communist and take offense to that statement.
I am an American.. right down the line so don't propose to call me a communist from the judgement of a single act. In fact if this were a communist movement we wouldn't be reading this post right now.. we would simply remove all the negative remarks and keep the positive ones. Instead we are letting you speak your mind about the changes .. is that not as American as it gets?
