You've identified the fact that this website is privately owned, as was brought up so well by OAB.

However, this forum wouldn't be what it is without the contribution of its thousands of members. And you can, to a certain extent, exert control over members on this site. This is because we community members value said community sufficiently enough to tolerate a small amount of bureaucracy.

And hey, this websites pretty popular now, and its getting a bit of publicity in various magazines. So I guess that makes us something of a commodity.

"Et Thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno" Sibyl said to me. I dare say this latest blood shed upon these Forum steps will not be the last.

Very clever! Linking the Roman Forum to an internet Forum. Impressive work! For accuracy though it needs to be said that the latin quote was more to do with "wars, terrible wars, and the Tiber foaming with much blood" which is I'd suggest is a bit more violent than the wee adjustment we're going through at the moderator level of KB at the moment.

What really struck me as ironic though was that this latin verse really became famous when a British politician (Enoch Powell) used it in a speech pushing his own views opposing proposed legislation to make racial discrimination illegal. He lost his shadow cabinet post the next day and never held a senior political position again.

Thus as Mr Powell stood by his (misguided) views and was no longer seen in his elevated position so has our Mr Ixion expressed and stood by his views of how things should be and is no longer in his elevated position.

Funny how history repeats itself.

I did not intend to respond , but getting the original quote in context AND the association to Mr Powell deserves recognition.(Did everyone else sleep all through fifth form Latin?). I always had a great deal of time for Mr Powell, be his opinions right or wrong, he was never prepared to sacrifice principle for expediency. I admire that.

I never retreat. More of a die in the last ditch chap, m'self. And I am only a poor old man, with a verra hard head, so I scorn your catapult, and have no money to give you, be your stones ever so big.

A Latin pissing contest is always fun, but cannot disguise the fact that a bloody good bloke has been knifed, shamefully treated.

I had already been gone for a month , after refusing to toe the party line on the brave new KB world ,before I was bounced (I originally intended to do a Lou Giradin, and just slip silently away) so I can't really complain. Mr SPMan's treatment was more brutal,shameful, a chilling indication of the sort of ethics KB's new rulers will impose on it.



Welcome back Ixion and I'd say there's no need to ever go away again.

Now can you go retrieve grumpy old Motu and get him back? He'd be enjoying Paul's story on the FZR400EXUP and offering advice I am sure.


I fear not. I have spent my life fighting elitism, bullying and censorship. It is impossible to pretend that the new regime is but a continuation of Mr Spankme's wise rule (*he* never tried to Leader us).I could not , with regard to my conscience , endorse it, when it represents all those things I oppose . And silence is consent. Things *have* changed, others beside me have commented upon it. And they will change much more as the new regime gets to work. Of course, those of a right wing and authoritarian persuasion will notice no change, just a (to them agreeable) lack of opposition to their opinions.

Moreover, if I did not voluntarily withdraw, it is very certain that it would only be a short time before I was infracted and sin binned out anyway, like others before me. I certainly am not going to strike my colours, to toady up to the NeoCon opinions of the Heaven Born, and it has been made very clear that dissent will not be tolerated.

BTW, both Mr Motu and I (and a good many other ex KBers ) can be contacted at www.advrider.com (http://www.advrider.com)

I have also joined Mr Spankme's SV1000 site , now that I "qualify". Nice place, like KB used to be. Mr Spankme is God, indeed, and we shall all revere him. But no matter how much I revere God, I see no reason to worship his bishop, Brian tamaki, no mayter how much he may declare himself my Leader. Nor any of God's other Vicars on earth, Leader they as they will. It's spelled mod, with an 'm', not a 'g'.

I have no opinion about your issues with Spankme but do wonder how long this resignation of yours is actually going to take.

Have you resigned from KB or have you not?

Have I simply misread your thread? :confused: John.

[Hitcher]

I'm still not sure what people think is actually "different" around here since... whenever?

Apart, that is, from the workload that now falls on the moderating team since Spankme's departure. The crap that that guy used to deal with largely on his own beggars belief.

If some people get their jollies by making all sorts of allegations about "knifings" and other perceived scurrilous innuendo, good luck to them.

i've been keeping away from kb in deference to SPman who, for the past few weeks, has been losing sleep over the petty, nitpicking, jackboot approach to moderating that the senior moderating team has been taking.

i have lived with him through every commonsense, reasonable approach he has put forward to his fellow senior moderators and lived with his despair as it has all fallen on deaf ears...... until - unable to tolerate any further reasonable debate or opposing opinion to their hard-line approach, they, outnumbering him, have ousted him.

this shames me - i was the one who, when he wanted to pull the plug weeks ago, said that he should stick with it as he was the only sane voice of reason on the team and the forum needed him

silly me - with luck he'll forgive me in time.

THAT, is just disgustingly out of line and deserves an infraction, regardless of wether I aggree with the system or not.

Know the people you're poking shit at personally do you? Spent a bit of time with them? Thought not.

While we're on the personal, unjustified attacks theme, can you just nip into the next room and ask John exactly what he sees in the nasty, vindictive, crap spouting type? The numerous times I've met him I thought he was above that.

you may feel honoured, but the only reasons that you [specifically] have been invited to be a senior mod are as follows:-

you are young, impressionable, able to be manipulated.

:yes:
Actually, he's not that young, got alot of time at work to spend online and reads everything on KB. Seems like a perfect reason to take the job, although he's obviously stupid enough to take on a thankless job like this for no pay, silly boy.

SPman who, for the past few weeks, has been losing sleep over the petty, nitpicking, jackboot approach to moderating that the senior moderating team has been taking.

i have lived with him through every commonsense, reasonable approach he has put forward to his fellow senior moderators and lived with his despair as it has all fallen on deaf ears...... until - unable to tolerate any further reasonable debate or opposing opinion to their hard-line approach, they, outnumbering him, have ousted him.


Well, now that someone else has has "blown the whistle" perhaps matters can be brought into the open, for the benefit of all.

I should mention first however, that I have no complaint about being badly treated, 'cos I wasn't. A little bird told me of what was happening in the Senior Mods discussion (there's a special forum for it , y'know). And for the record, the birdie wasn't Mr Spman, or Ms Mstriumph. I didn't like what was happening , but couldn't say much without comprimising my source (the classic journalist's dilemma!). I was told "if you don't like it, piss off". So I pissed off without saying anything. Then I heard what was happening to Mr Spman,so I knew it wasn't just me being hypersuspicious, and people started asking if I was dead. So I came back, a month later, to write my wee valedictory. With that penultimate paragraph.I lost no blood

Now. With all that stuff out of the way:

Firstly: MsTriumph's post must show any logical person that there ARE changes, present or upcoming. If there were not, there would have been no cause for such heated argument amongst the Heaven Born (and very heated it was, I understand). For there to be such disagreement, there must be something to disagree ABOUT.

Secondly: The argument that "this is not a democracy" and members should just accept whatever is dished out and shut up, is flawed. The site is Mr Spankme's. He may indeed set any rules he chooses, and delegate what he chooses. But the members are stakeholders. They have a justifed interest in what happens to the site. Firstly because, without members , there would be no site. And secondly because some of them have invested time (and money , in some case) into making it what it is. Every ruling body (governments etc) must govern. And sometimes they will, and must, make decisions and rules that people will object to. but, even governments consult people before they change things . They may still go ahead with changes that many, even all, people object to. That is the function of governments, to govern. But stakeholders do have a right to be consulted first. Even the cops and LTSA do that much.

So, we see that the Heaven Born are planning changes (sigh. Yes. I know. The party line is "There are no changes".See above , it's called logic). Whether those are new rules, or extensions to old ones doesn't really matter (If the police started issuing tickets for 1kph over the speed limit, would you not think that was a change to the rules? Even though no legislative change is required).

And, perceptive people can see that *something* is going on. Whilst the present climate of secrecy is maintained, people will suspect the worst. And, assume the worst of motives for it. It may well be that some of the proposals won't get off the ground anyway (f'instance Mr Spankme squelched the idea of asking the ISPs of naughty KBers to bar their Internet access).But noone knows that either. I know our latest Tetrarch has a number of ideas to change things. Personally, I think they're more suited to KiddieBiker than Kiwibiker, but others may well think differently. That's what consultation is about .

So, why not DO the consultative thing? A simple "We think that "this" ....... needs to happen. We'll listen to input about it, reserving the right to go ahead even if "this" is unpopular". Sticking with the "We are the leaders,there ARE NO CHANGES, we will make the decisions and the first you'll know of them is when we tell you" will be totally destructive in the long term. And the short term. And leads to unpleasantness for all.

Sorry, my bad for not reading the original post.

You're obviously a thinkin' man, you obviously form your posts with a great deal of thought (unlike me and another protaganist that's come to light). Why didn't you answer the questions asked of you in the first instance, rather than ignoring your fellow moderators before your "powers" were stripped? Can't change a system from the outside, everyone knows that. Myself personally, I wouldn't do the job you guys so (or did), there's no way I can be impartial, being an angry bastard and all.

I'm really mistified as to what the hoo-ha is all about to be honest.

Edit: Being a particularly slow bastard, I've just worked out the answer to my own question. You, Ixion, were the minority in the opioin stakes. Rather than continue being the odd one out, you decided to duck out, leave those other wankers to it and have a winge at their expense. Well if a "mod" is a minority in their opinions, then surely the majority better represent the populous in the descision making? Similar to a government or summit? I dunno, just speculating.......

All this talk of dark secrets and deep conspiracies gave me a feeling of deja vu, which I could not shake off. The answer came to me in the early hours of the morning, and after some careful research and fearless scullduggery, I am now in a position to reveal the startling truth.

Ixion, your cover is blown.

I can now reveal that Ixion is an alias.

Ixion is no other than - Agent Fox Mulder.

Yes, it's true ladies and gentlemen, the X-Files have been re-opened.

I'm sorry to be the one to blow his cover, but we conspiracy theorists have a duty to the greater good of mankind.

It all makes sense now. The deep, dark secrets, that can only be aluded to and not directly spoken, lest he reveal his source.

And what of that source? Whispers of The Smoking Man are not easily ignored.....

The identity of Agent Scully is yet to be revealled. Unfortunately, I cannot release this information, for fear of compromising my inside source. But we all have our own suspicions, don't we?

I have this morning presented this information to the upper management. They, of course, denied everything. But that denial, ladies and gentlemen, is the ultimate confirmation of a true conspiracy....

Just remember - "The Truth Is Out There...."

A Latin pissing contest is always fun, but cannot disguise the fact that a bloody good bloke has been knifed, shamefully treated.

I had already been gone for a month , after refusing to toe the party line on the brave new KB world ,before I was bounced (I originally intended to do a Lou Giradin, and just slip silently away)

I fear not. I have spent my life fighting elitism,


BTW, both Mr Motu and I (and a good many other ex KBers ) can be contacted at www.advrider.com (http://www.advrider.com)

I have also joined Mr Spankme's SV1000 site , now that I "qualify". Nice place, like KB used to be. Mr Spankme is God, indeed, and we shall all revere him. But no matter how much I revere God, I see no reason to worship his bishop, Brian tamaki, no mayter how much he may declare himself my Leader. .

What do you call a tunnel with no echo?

A lame joke on the internet.

Still an angry little man eh..?

Not at all angry actually. Simply quite happy to openly say what I think, even at the risk of offending people like your good self.

To me.....drama queeens that announce their dramatic 'exit' deserve no less.

Jesus man.....you should've seen the shit I got when I first 'joined' up.
Hell....I still get it....and I'm sure you'll think it's deserved.

BUT....if I found it all too much....I'd simply stop signing in. Easy really.
I mean.....how many times have you pointed out here just how much of a better, more level headed person than me you are on this site?
See me run away crying?

Not gonna happen.

Virgil Realty?
They have an office in the fourth circle of Hell.
Dante Alighieri is the sales manager.
Tell him I sent you.
"You must spread..." Yeah yeah, all right.

Damn! That had me cracking up

He's leaving, ok? right?

So why the rant?

Is it personal to you when somebody 'pulls the pin' or what????

Sheesh!!

Ok....it's like this.

I thought this was a place you could express your opinions? I believe it's what you're doing yeah?

It's my opinion that Ixion was an elitist know all. I had read quite a few posts of his regarding various things mechanical.....and even dared 'challange' some of his put downs of people he so obviously thought he was way smarter than.

He loved replying to people that had certain things a tad wrong......but was strangely mute when someone was in fact.....correct....to which he had no logical answer for.

He then does exactly what he says he leaving for (the knife?).....all the while telling us he never retreats.

So.....I simply added my views to the views and opinions others had already shared.

Isn't that how it works? So I can't have my views because you don't agree with them? Is that what you're saying?



If you simply want to get all cuddly and close with fellow bikers, because you're lonely or something, that's great.

But I have plenty of great friends in the real world, I don't need to try and collect more here.

Some I've chatted with here and have met have turned into friends.....some never will.

So what?

By the way.......I have read plenty of your posts that have been somewhat of a rant.......you being in the police force, should know then that it's hypocritical and wrong to preach so called wrong doings when you often do the same yourself.

(1) I voice my opinion about individuals I have never met with a little less vitriol.

(2)You don't pay me enough to totally stop me being 'hypocritical'

A little tolerance goes a long way dude.

(1) That's fine by me, we're all different.

(2) I couldn't agree with you more on this one. Yours is truly (mostly) a thankless job, and I think you should be paid far more for doing it.

I tend to operate under "Cast as many stones as you wish....provided you're fully prepared to be pelted yourself"

....except when drinking coffee. Trust me on this, it bloody hurts....:shutup:

If I might express an opinion, I think Crasherfromwayback said it like it really is as he sees it and did it rather clearly and he made some good points.

I have to agree with many of his points on the Ixion issue and unless he has actually met him he can only judge by what he has witnessed on this forum.

Crasher certainly took a roasting (well deserved too) when he first came onto KB, so he can take as well as dish it out, I respect him for that.

I defend his right to express his point of view and encourage him to continue to do so even if it means upsetting the natives on the forum.

Good on you Crasherfromwayback, I salute you. :yes: Cheers John.
