Should Katman shut the fuck up?

[Katman]

This may need repeating.

I have never said every accident can be avoided. Point out where I have if you believe I have.

However, I believe at least 90% of accidents are avoidable through better management and that far too few people make sufficient effort to do so.

[Ocean1]

Which of course is 100% correct. We can't always avoid them.
A fact that katman seem to have a problem grasping.

This may need repeating.

Repeadedly.

How's that go?
Only when you have repeated your message so often and for so long, you are sick of hearing yourself say it, is the message just, just, beginning to get to joe public.......

Which of course is the danger.
Because the principal cares not if the words are correct or appropriate, only that you scream them until you are blue in the face. We should support this principal as we should religious zealotry the principal is the same.

No, not my style - I wouldn't pretend to tell you what's right for you, I'll leave that to katman and his ilk - politicians, religious fanatics, priests and the like.

The only thing this poll has proved so far is that 3 out of 4 KBers are fucking pussies.

[McWild]

Ahaha, love the poll results, they are very telling.


No, Katman should most certainly NOT shut the fuck up.

I ride like a complete tool on the road, wheelies, dodgy filtering, irritating car drivers just for the sake of it, so I can hardly claim to be a devout soldier of his message.

But fuck's sake, someone needs to keep KB interesting. Chaos Rider, Skidmark, Carver and all the other fun guys seems to have pissed off recently, it's almost gotten to the point where noone's being wound up over anything anymore.

Also I have respect for the man for sticking to his morals and not being afraid to tell people about it. And just because I tend to ignore what he has to say, doesn't mean I don't for a large part agree with it.

RE: this poll, should it be taken into account that 30 people have Katman on ignore? Presumably they don't have the opportunity to vote if they can't see KM's posts.

Sure add them to the "yes" vote - that'll still only be 64 v. 106

Isn't that enough?

He never said that he had to lose the poll, in order to stop the cack handed messages.

He just asked if he should not continue to post his message with a "yes or no" option, maybe 30 plus YES's is enough?

MAybe it isn't?

Seriously, even if it was split the other way, do you think he'd stop?

Nope

10 chars (first time I have ever had to do that 10 chars thingy).

Now that's what I'm talking about! Clear, objective and accurate. Can't criticise anything about this post!

When I was learning to drive cages at age 18, (already had full MC license before I was 16) my boss was pretty impressed with my awareness of other cars and the behavior of em, a trait that was born of riding MC's before I ever sat in a cage operators seat.

Any biker who does not pay attention to 'body language' of the cages is on a course for a disaster.

Anyway, point I wanted to make is my boss (who was a fucking good driver) reckoned both parties were at fault in ANY accident... I cant quite agree with him but KM's point quoted above is a pretty fair take on the situation, we could probably mitigate 90% of the issues we face by being 'on the ball'

And like Edbear, I think its a good post, KM if you could keep the posts at this level, you would get far less grief mate.
