If you colored yourself purple, and someone made fun of you, that isn't racism
You chose to color yourself purple and purple people isn't a race

I never said I got offended by either of those two pics. In fact , my darker side of humor thinks they are both funny. My point was......you can't just get offended by one them. You are either offended by both , or laugh at both. Both equally offensive and funny , and that's where the difference lies.
Many in society today are running around just LOOKING for something to be offended by so they can spew their indignation on social media...."HEAR ME ROAR!!!" It gives relevance to their empty lives.

How about a thumbs down emoticon for when you want to "downvote" something and don't care if everyone knows it was you ? Like the anonymous down vote feature, but for men. Laughing Laughing
Could not agree more. The anonymous "thumbs down" button is chicken shit weak sauce.

In the 70's I was referred to a Toad once. I was a weapons specialist on aircraft and they called us load toads. I was not offended. But my skin was not green either.Wink

Damn, work has pulled me away from the thick of Vital for a few days. I caught the very beginning of this thread and now 9 pages in. Wow. I wish I had something noteworthy to complain about, but really, working a pipe job at a sewer treatment plant and getting shit splashed and thrown at me by a saw is really all I've got right now.

In my 20+ years experience (has it really been that long), this same dead horse, has taken this same beating, from the same stick.

I very rarely attack another person on here unless they start it. I don’t understand personal attacks. If you don’t agree then fine but don’t have to be a jerk about it. Over 25 years on here I’ve probably only been involved in those a few times.

I hate it when a thread gets clipped. I despise it. We are mostly grown ups and I at least know which comment to ignore and just scroll past it. I understand not everyone can do that.

I would recommend it a thread gets out of hand don’t delete the thread just put something above a comment that says. “This comment has violated board rules”. That way people know what’s good and what’s not. Then you can just delete that comment later if need be.

As far as threads like the dungey one you can clean it up then lock it. Everything has been said on it so lock the thread.

No easy answer. Just try different things. Let people moderate themselves as much as possible and know that 95 percent of the people on here scroll right past the stupid comments or argument comments anyways.

This is a discussion board and it’s fun and entertaining and we like to shoot the shit. Even if some of us say stupid shit it’s just still fun to shoot the shit.

The bad problem is that discussions are also opinions, and if a moderator doesn't like your opinion then your either clipped, or your opinion has vanished with no explanation. It's Gibby's world we are living in, so his rules.

Oh and BTW GuyBro, you are the one that said get it off your chest, so I'm not sure why you clipped a few people when you asked for it, to begin with, right? That's like picking a fight drunk outside the bar with someone, then suing them when they whip your ass.

I know. I get very frustrated by it as well but it’s his money and his board and it’s just a message board so it’s not the end of the world when that happens. Just have to move on.

He has an image he has to tread carefully with as well being at the races so he needs to be mindful of not only riders and there families and insiders that he is with week in and week out but also provide enough flexibility for his customer base that comes here and pays the bills. So it’s a fine line.

One thing I have learned and maybe he should as well is we feel different day in and day out. Some things hype us up more than others and the next day might be in a different mood. I don’t take stuff on here to heart very much because people tend to spout off more behind a keyboard and anonymity. Sometimes we are just bored. However like all things in life there has to be order and rules.

I thought I was being pretty respectful with what I said. My opinions were short and to the point , and I didn't go off calling anyone a bunch of names.Even the pics I posted weren't directed at anyone , but put up as an example of how different people , view things differently. Last night I get home from work and see like the entire last page is filled up with comments from like 5 internet social justice warriors , going bat shit nuts on me haha. Laughing

I read a few and had thought about commenting , and then I was like " Nah.....I already said my bit , no need to repeat it". The irony was , they were trying to paint me as something I'm not , all while making themselves look exactly like what they were preaching against.

I find it funny how If I call myself dumb. Doesn’t get clicked. But if I tell Jeffro that sometimes there aren’t answers to his questions....that gets clicked.

Both are benign posts. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Still haven’t figured out what’s safe and what isnt.

Keep topics strictly on riding and racing.

No bashing riders
No bashing announcers
No talk on riders families (wives, kids, cousins uncle)

Ban anyone that uses the word “literally” more than once.

I enjoy the forum but sometimes it seems like you have to sift through some junk to get to the good stuff.

I remember the bike thief thread where the gang of thugs did a smash and grab at a dealership and stole 9(?) bikes, all caught on video and I replied "needs more full auto".

Click

I remember a many months old thread that I replied in that had died and gone away and then someone refreshed it.

Click

I remember a bunch of people shitting on Mickey Dymond in a thread. I made a decent reply, set a few people straight and went off to donate a hundred bucks to Mickey. Got about 50 thumbs up for it.

Click

It's a little obvious that someone's trigger finger is a touch too sensitive and twitchy when it comes to certain posters around here. Like others have posted in this thread, some of the shit that sticks and some that gets booted and clicked. But hey, not my house, not my rules and although Guy B wants us to report what we feel goes out of bounds, I'm not gonna be the snitch in a room full of grown men. My skin is thick enough to enjoy some good hearted banter even if it gets a little heated and a few punches thrown my way.

As far as you, Guy B, I'll always be the guy who stops to help you change a flat. I'll even buy you a beer and cook you a steak afterwards. But take you to the gun range with me.....eh', probably not gonna happen.Laughing I did mention a over sensitive and twitchy trigger finger didn't I?

Nobody was going bat shit nuts on you. Nobody was trying to paint you as anything. You kept inserting yourself into it, not anyone else.
