Well Said Phil, I dont see why people are complaing everything that has to do with motorcycles is still completly useable, isnt that why we all joined the site in the first place?



Well, gee, no. I joined also to talk to other people about all manner of things, including the bike, with the bike being the one common denominator that binds us all together, and in some cases, the ONLY common denominator. Now, granted, Phil and the other moderators are perfectly right in imposing the ban from the standpoint of this being Roberts site, and not a democracy and all of that, but guess what, some people, me included, think it's dumb, and for each and every one of you on this board who say "Amen" there are just as many of us who enjoy the additional "spice" of spirited discussions. You say "it's the same old stuff over and over"! Well, that's YOUR opinion, just as it might be my opinion that talking about jetting my carbs might be the same old stuff over and over. Last I checked, rules or not, we are each entitled to that opinion. SO, while you don't see what all the fuss is, it's just because something that YOU enjoy isn't being taken away. You know what, Congress has the God-given right to pass a Helmet Law that affects all 50 states, just as seatbelts have become law across the country. You and I don't have to like it, we have the right to ****** and moan all we want, but we have to abide by it in the end. Same goes for this new rule, we have to abide by it, but don't be shocked that there are a lot of people who don't like it, and I don't quite think it's right to start flaming people who feel pissed about it either (that is for Phil and the "Bigbaby" thing). After all, the whole reason for the Ban in the first place was because of people flaming other people on the site for differences of opinion, was it not? Fine, you guys like it, some of us don't, we'll respect the rules, or choose to stay or go, likewise, our opinions about the rules or our decisions to stay or go should be respected as well.
