I'm sorry but his aggressive behavior on social media strikes me as extremely unnecessary. I'm not the guy that originally commented, but I saw the exchange and thought it was laughable how angry Ken gets at people on the internet even when they're supporting him and just want to see him win/finish better.

I know it doesn't matter what I think, but thought this was quite hilarious

Kenny just seems like he's unhappy. Not sure what has changed over the last few years, but he doesn't seem like the same dude that used to throw the shaka and smile all the time. Might be time to hang it up and try something new. Just seems bitter imo.

Ranger83 was telling him what and what not to do.    Ken was telling him to STFU and sit back down on the couch.    Can't say i blame him.

There's definitely something to be said about being above comments like this and not letting them affect you. Ken has paper thin skin though so he'll likely never get to that point.

Everyone has a right to defend themselves, especially on their own social media channel. Roczen is making great moves on and off the track.

Sounds like he put "Ranger Rick" in his place for calling him scared when he didn't know what he was talking about. The "with as much talent" comment is a classic passive aggressive tactic. Ken called him out what's the big deal?

I don't think ranger_83's comment warranted a mini melt down. Calling the guy a stupid ass and an idiot is a bit much imo. 

KR sure does look nutty on the internet sometimes.

Most professional athletes don't go through comment sections hurling insults at fans. Yeah I know, why do I care. Just thought it was a little ridiculous and posted it, that's all.

Good on Ken, I can only imagine how painful these idiots must get after a while.

Name one time Tomac or Dungey or Webb (list goes on) responded to an ignorant, but relatively benevolent, comment the way Ken did (and does). His reactions to things are not ordinary

They definetly shouldn't be doing that especially when those guys are just trying to get a rise out of him. And they got exactly what they wanted. I can't blame Kenny I'd probably do the same thing though.

Don't really condone spodes who have never even seriously raced in their lives telling pro riders what/what not to do.

However, moto riders are some of the softest baby ass "professional athletes" in the world. Like, why are you upset w/ some random robot in your IG comments? In reality, the dude didn't even say anything that harmful lol. 

Go read Lebrons comments for 10 mins and you will gain a new perspective. 

These dudes need some thicker skin.

I get what your saying for sure, but is Rick really a fan or a troll looking for attention? Our modern day society and pseudo fans sometimes go a bit too far and it's Ken prerogative to respond...

Lol, an NFL running back can have a mediocre game and his comments are instantly filled with people cussing him out for hurting their fantasy teams, calling him trash, worthless etc etc... now that would get annoying.

This is what the modern social media lifestyle is all about. I see no reason Kickstart can't snap back when someone is acting a fool. It may be childish but it's the new normal.

I'm more shocked Kenny took time out of his day to defend himself against some nobody on Instagram

Part of me says "yeah, put the spode in his place", but if I was a sponsor of Kenny I would want him to be more respectful to potential customers.

I bet he's still in daily pain from his injuries. Pain makes people pretty short.

Exactly and it happens every week. If a kicker misses a field goal, 100% there will be comments calling for him to retire/be fired etc. Its even worse for college players. Imagine being 19 years old and missing a kick and you have 100 40 year old guys in your comments giving you death threats and telling you they are going to come to your campus and find you lol.

You took time to comment this... you could pull the "you took time to post this" card on anything on this forum, that's the whole point of a discussion board, people taking time out of their respective days to say & post stuff that usually means absolutely nothing, but it entertains us Laughing

It feels like you have some experience in this, can you explain what you do when your wife yells at you?
