I can't say I blame you for leaving.  Get rid of the Deegan haters and this place would instantly get better.  They jump in a ruin every thread they can.

I read 90% more than I post and only post if I have a meaningful contribution. 

That poll someone ran a bit back about the ages of everyone here was pretty surprising. My presumption was the vast majority were a bunch of angry teens & twenty something’s…

I’ve reported a couple of especially egregious posts to Michael but nothing gets done.. 

100% though if we were all in a room together the vast majority of us would be very respectful toward each other and generally get on well. 

For some reason when humans have a degree of anonymity we have a tendency to act like wankers.

I didn’t read all the replies. And I don’t post much but I’m still on here lurking every day. I will say this, I am a member on many forums. Truck forums, hunting, fishing, 4x4, shooting, moto. This forum has WITHOUT A DOUBT the most idiotic members/posts/stupidity of any I’ve ever been on.

I still come here for the latest moto news but there is absolute stupidity on every single thread. Doesn’t matter the topic, every thread will get fucked up by someone and then go off the rails. Gets really old

i don't think this place is that bad honestly. yes, there's two or three agents provocateur, but its far more mature that most of reddit. and it's less boring than facebook groups. i know i've probably earned some enemies myself, but if you haven't in good faith earned a few, you probably have nothing to say of substance. 

 

@BuddyCantCatchGO4T had an excellent post above about nuance, and that is totally true. you can have a post with 5 things and if someone agrees with 4 and disagrees with 1, you're still getting downvoted. that is, it seems like people look for reasons to find animus rather than reasons to find common ground, but i think that's just the general direction of society as the culture war progresses, people atomize, and social media continues to further condition the emotional reaction at the expense of the rational response. 

anyway, it's been sad to see fb groups and subreddits displace all the forums i grew up with as everyone self segregates to find the comfiest echo chamber possible. but hey, if an anodyne facebook group is more your speed, more power to you.

You mean like people posting responses when they obviously haven't read the full thread?

Yeah i don't know what the thinking is behind letting a small minority of trolls just go havoc in so many threads. GuyB was too trigger happy and extreme in that sense, but i feel like we've gone too far to the other side.

He clipped me in 2010 because in the off season there was a rumor a top guy was out from broken arm a few weeks away from 2011 A1. I have some industry friends that were at the tracks guys were riding at, they had accounted for everyone, all besides one …. RV. I posted I heard a rumor he broke his wrist and a few people went crazy and next thing I know I was clipped lol. Then he proceeded to call me a name in the chat. Never liked him since. 

Come to find out it was damn Steve and Kenny on pulp dicking with everybody and it set off a true wild fire🤣

The challenge is, the people who are the problem don't think they're the problem, and they think this is their sandbox.  Whether that's true or not depends on if the stupid crap takes over and dominates.  

The place always has had ups and down that way, with good folks and trolls coming and going, but it's a tough go when it gets saturated with binge post one trick pony stupidity.  Not a big proponent of flaming exit announcements, largely because more often than not they don't stick, but respect when they do and someone truly just moves on.  I can I understand it.

I would think if you're going to call people morons you would atleast know how to spell it. 

Dude you misspelled moran. Wonder if that’s the British or Canadian spelling. 

make canada great again but must be eastern spelling

Some thoughts to make VitalMX better :-)

 Ban all posters

 Ban all moderators 

 Shut the whole thing down for 2 weeks or so, not even kidding. 
 

 Everyone needs to go RIDE again!

 Take your Family, Friends, Neighbors, whatevz. 
 Or go alone, whatever scenario suits you best. 

 If you loved it, let’s hear about it 🤟 

 If not, sell the damn bike and pick another sport lol.

  Sour Grapes n’ Motorcycles don’t belong together 😎

  Been a Motorcycle Fan since 77-ish, and enjoyed it every day since then 👍

  Not about to wreck that anytime soon.

Dunning-Kruger effect: People with limited ability often overestimate their own competence. 

Translated: A local racer may think they understand what it takes to be at the elite level better than they actually do.

Love ya, Hammer! Good vibes up. Most people here do suck because they're a bunch of pussified babies who's feelings are so sensitive and they feel like we're supposed to care. Eff em!

Why announce to the world and make a whole new thread thats just about yourself leaving lol? Just leave if thats what u want to do. Thats some main character syndrome type stuff if Ive ever seen it. If you want to complain about quality of the site make a thread about that, but to make a whole thread just to announce to everyone that youre leaving is craziness.

So where do you go to get new info on racing?

I just scan over the bullshit and move on but I think Michael has made this so much better site overall then Guy.

Oh, the irony.  Sounds like Hammer 663s is a little sensitive too.

Look in this thread and you immediately see two people who ruin the atmosphere, I mean look at @ShellyMX and @super_fan_38 their great comments. But as long @ML512 doesn't act we can only complain about it.

I just wanted you all to know that I'm leaving this thread.

  I'll still be on Vital but I'm leaving this thread. 

 It used to be great thread until all the people that disagreed with me showed up, and I'm not socially equipped enough to discuss the points we disagree on, so it just makes me flustered. 

Instead of being flustered, I decided it was easier to do a cry for help, that way, well I didn't really think this through but it's too late now!  I will never be back (under this username).

ShellyMX really does have a miserable life….at least that’s the perception they want to give, online.
