As it's your board you can do as you please obviously.

If you don't get enjoyment out of clicking people, then why all the pomp and circumstance every time? Shoot them a PM and/or email and call it good.

That, or my reading comprehension needs work I suppose.
Over here we have mobile speed cameras but they have to put signs up to tell motorists that there is a mobile speed camera up ahead, so they're saying we want everyone to slow down to not get booked where as if there was no signs they'd fine whoever would normally be speeding without warning..

I don't know if I made my point clear haha

Well of course. There's no more effective (or more hypocritcal) P.R. dept. than the one which works for the state. They only do it because they care so much about us (I just threw up in my mouth a little).

And why do you (and Michael for that matter) have to make a big public show of it every time you ban somebody? You guys salivate at the chance to boot somebody. Why can't you show restraint and not make a big show of it? Or do you love all the adulation you get from the ass kickers when you boot someone?

Your comments/attitude when you ban someone suggest otherwise.
Dub, I have to disagree with the "big public show of it, pomp and circumstance," argument. IMO, if the people that run this place had a topic at the top of the forum that never gets deleted that included member names, their date and time of departure and even chalk marks with how many delete's they've obtained, that would be "pomp and circumstance" and a "public show" of things. There is no better time than the present, if someone post something sexist, racist, highly inappropriate, whatever, whats wrong with putting it to bed right then and there. It's also helpful for others to see the boundaries and realize the line to not cross. The detentions and suspensions are buried in whatever topics, not a headline at the top of the page. Not B's fault people pick the worst time to show their true colors. That was funny has hell when some said, "gotta thin the herd" and B said "thx for volunteering" how is that showing off?

I don't know about the tough guys in here but I made a lot of mistakes in life as well. Especially when I was young.

Yeah, and I am seeing video on social media of riders wheeling through traffic at speed, no helmet, cringe factor 100%

I don't get why a guy like him would choose to ride the way he did in the time and place that he did, but I sure wish that this had a different outcome.

Everyone has a different perspective on things like this. I remember when Danny Hamel was killed in Mexico, I read a column (newspaper, real paper!) that basically questioned why he was doing something so stupid in the first place. Obviously this writer had no interest in this type of racing and basically said that Hamel got what he deserved. I disagree with that sentiment, obviously, but it just illustrates how our perspectives can skew our views so much.

I hope no one in the other car is seriously injured and that his family finds a way to accept their loss.

Bloody bunch of arsewipes on here defending this shyte. What would you say if one of your family or friends were injured or killed by this morons actions, bottom line bad behavior caused this cockup. Sorry the guy died and maybe the media should blast this story 24 /7 in all the major cities on what happens when you ride a dirt bike illegally on a public road or better yet lock up all offenders and confiscate the bikes , quit defending this shyte.

Scout they wouldn't do that. They'd rather drum up support to just take away bikes from everyone. And replace them with a football or basketball.

GuyB what scout said two posts up
is my explanation. The NFL player deal is an exception (kongols was being sarcastic BTW not racist) but the wheelie boys aren't entitled to ANY sympathy IMO.

Jimmy Sloan is welcome to feel how he wants to but I have no sympathy for law breakers that put MX in a bad light. And I am very compassionate/empathetic but it doesn't extend to wheelie boy types or anyone breaking the law while endangering themselves but more importantly others IE the quad rider that crossed into oncoming traffic.

I'm sorry the rising NFL star lost his life. Put a helmet on ALWAYS peeps!

I sometimes think the same as c_dub but after reading how gratifying "clicking" sounds to you sums it up for sure. Just send them a quick message and if it continues then ban them. If you mean it or not, it does seem like you're bragging about it.

Your signature contradicts that opinion, obviously......


Nothing about this tarnishes the sport of motocross, any more than some guy getting liquored up and driving his car into oncoming traffic tarnishes auto racing.

Something tells me that you love the old stories of the racers trashing rental cars, jumping them on tracks, delivering them back to the rental agencies with bent frames, etc. It's classic folklore for the sport, yet incidents like that cast a poorer light on motocross than this incident will.

A young man made a stupid, terrible mistake. He's paid the ultimate price for that mistake, and it's unfortunate that the price was this steep.

Obviously you make a lot of assumptions IE what my signature implies and my feelings on trashed rental cars. There is no correlation between my signature and rationalizing illegal behavior.......just absence of caring about personal responsibility in your attempt to link the two.

If you don't think the wheelie boyz don't put MX in a bad light then that says it all.

NFL QB Ben Rothlesberger dumped a Suz Hayabusa a couple years back. A HYPER bike in terms of horsepower to put it mildly. Did it in PA where there is no helmet law. I also believe he was wearing shorts. I wouldn't doubt he also had flip flops on as well. If I was the team owner, I would have yanked a couple Million from his contract. Guy B, care to chime in on this one ?
