So who is the loose cannon moderator ?

Edited Date/Time 1/6/2016 3:47pm
Threads are disappearing here faster than you can even post in one. The Melissa Click post by Crash is now gone and that was a headline news story and not politics or religion. IF you do not want a non moto section then delete it. I would assume that most of the moderators are in some form journalists even though its on a moto forum but most who work in some form of journalism take the first amendment as gospel. Blush And that is what the story was about.

Certainly agree on this - sharing thoughts and sources (either side of issue) is healthy.

Why not contact the offender and then take appropriate action towards the offender rather then end the thread?

Is it any surprise that those threads are removed? I don't think guyb has ever hidden the fact that he will delete them whenever he wants. While I think rational political threads are good....it's not my forum so I don't really have a say in it...

I'd say some explanation as to why they keep getting deleted shouldn't be out of the question...especially given the other threads that are allowed to stay, and with far more garbage in them.

This one was about Melissa Click the Journalism professor who tried to get some "muscle" to remove a school reporter form a school demonstration and they are calling for her to be fired. I guess you can make a case for any front page story being political but its a stretch. Maybe we should all just discuss Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus. Sad

Both Oregon threads had some great info in them on an issue that is very relevant to us as riders, to bad a few people aren't mature enough to discuss it for what it is rather than turn in into a political debate. I fully support the fact that this is not our site and what the mods say goes, but those threads seemed to be very relevant to us in my opinion.

i'm guessing they keep getting deleted because a few guys keep trying to link the comparison of the Oregon land owners to the girl that got arrested for using her phone in class and the riots.

some people will grasp at straws and bring a good conversation to a halt.

It was very educational for me to see the comparisons between able bodied meth head tweakers / crack addict dope dealing do nothings and the people tirelessly working the land to provide food for our country. Huh

The Melissa Click thread was new and had no posts in it other than the original post and It is a very interesting story. I have been on my best behavior while posting but its hard when the rules keep changing or depending on the mood of the different moderators. I am sure I will get banned over this thread but its not that I am angry just confused.

Same premise as media showing you what you want to see. Not showing you what you don't want to see.

Vital doesn't have an agenda, I know that. But religion and politics are hot topics evidently. Especially with this being an election year. Let em talk!

A lot of good info from both sides. There are some guys on here I never agree with that...sometimes I see it their way and agree on something. Knowing and arguing both sides is part of being informed.

Really, that's what got the thread clicked?
I thought it was endless insinuations that America is being ruined by black people, and that the real patriots with guns will solve all the problems. Tongue Tongue Tongue

Sounds like a day in my lifeTongue

Seriously though we have a nice couple inches of snow on our foothills making for some awesome riding,
frozen mud and rock = fun, although its tough to get the nose of the bike to bite coming down

If I could have done from age 24 on differently I would have added more mountain biking and skiing...and hunting, and hiking...one less wife...should have got the full size truck instead...should have bought that one property that was for sale...

Oh well. At least I can argue politics here...oh wait...damn

i'm 32, no kids, never married, house is half paid off, truck paid off, boat paid off, dirtbikes paid off, new snowmobile paid off, buying my first piece of property in the next few months, will pay off my school loans and then consider keeping a woman around for longer than 4-6 months. 4-6 is the magic number, 1-4 is the fun non-stop sex zone, 4-6 is the still lots of sex but also more trips and fun shit zone. after 6 though, no thanks, that's serious relationship and marriage talk.

If it was my website, I would do the same.

But it ain't.....so......did you hear about those gay, men and women of color that are having a sit in for the National Parks in the NorthWest? It's really cool, but I did hear some of them are religious...gulpHuh Fingers crossed they are Hindu are something cool. You have to accept that hating your Nations heritage is the path to loving it. Digging it. Might truck up there and build them a half pipe with some of the Bro's. Maybe poach some trails on the mountain bike....Woohoo

It doesnt matter how long you wait to settle down.....women are insane a good 10-20% of the time...sometimes more! Just ask the mod who keeps deleting threads around here Cheerful Tongue

Get yourself a smart 26 year old, get married and have a couple kids before shes 35.

And way to go on your finances. Having money just relieves so much stress and burden not only for you but your future wife and kids. Ive never made a ton of money but I have been good about staying away from debt. I never argue about money with the wife....even when shes being insane.
