#434, you seem like a good dude so I'll let you in on a little secret, this is just how Americans are. Sling it back in his face and laugh about it.

On the subject of the Holocaust, I've seen worse.

At least it admits that there were concentration camps.

Now that it's all worked out is everybody going to be ok or no? 

It was completely impossible to offend anyone in the 90s. Impossible. Even racism gone, took away its power. No one let it bother them so no power. Now words hurt again to the point that an adult tells on another adult because... words... twice... on a motocross forum.  Where did we fuck up? Just arguing with a random person and caring what they think on the internet is absurd all on its own.

Pretty sure 434 is German and I think that particular subject is a bit of a national sore spot for them. Just for context. That being said people are assholes and people on the internet even more so, so learning to ignore them is a valuable life lesson (I need to improve at it sometimes too).

Magoofan can't afford the $8 to have someone dispose of his tire and after showing up to SD SX found out he didn't have enough funds to get in. If someone had bought him a ticket he'd have starved because he had also complained he couldn't afford a beer or hotdog. Try to have a little compassion for a guy down on his luck

Hey now....

 

The mortgage in my 2 million dollar (per Zillow) palatial San Diego estate can be a little oppressive when it comes to fun money....

That's a fair explanation - and I don't think any reasonable person would think you a bigot based on your original statement. For me, the problem is that while the analogy is almost certainly intended as hyperbole, the matter of electric bikes is so harmless in relation to the severity of the holocaust that the analogy is stretched beyond hyperbole into the absurd. This isn't necessarily offensive on its own, but I've seen way too many such references on social media. Just too damn many people trotting out the Nazi comparisons every time they feel threatened,  

 

I appreciate your measured/thoughtful response.    ...and I agree with you regarding the Nazi references being overused these days.

My whole argument on this is that electric whatever (bikes, cars, etc) is just the carrrot.   The end game is that they are coming for your personal mobility.        OP is a cheerleader for his own "death sentence" in this regard.   You'd think Euro folks would  know better. 

As for this board.   I avoid name-calling, getting into personal tit-for-tat battles (though, I'm not perfect)....I'm not here to create problems for the owners/admins/mods....they have to play kindergarten nanny far too often as it is.

You can’t talk about the China Virus, Vaccines that aren’t effective, or Mask Nazis on Vital, it’s off limits.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I only commented in one of those threads years ago when it first arrived and never even disagreed with anyone about it.  I am unaffendable and have never argued on the internet.

I agree with the sentiments of your post just thought it was funny coming from the Covid Karen, which it didn’t. Jokes on me I guess.
