The Twins Thread

May I suggest you wear looser fitting underwear Mr Quasiego?

I was never involved in the thread in question until it got to the point of missing the point, bar one jibe totally unrelated to the subject in question.

I wont come to your new site for a variety of reasons and if you can't accept with good grace that I do not wish to disrespect your stated rules then I'm totally bemused.

I, for one, do not wish to talk solely about bikes, sportsbikes or topics which are only deemed worthy by those with the power to edit, censor or pass judgement on my intellect and morality via the mystical medium of the internet.

Perhaps now you have your own little power trip on the side you should hang up your moderators gloves on KB?

By all means mix it up, but don't expect to garner any respect when trying to chastise people for partaking in the same "stirring" and personal attacks as yourself.

Thanks will consider that

well worded

Nah planning on getting other Mods to do it on the new site, I still love KB

I tag on to the shit stirring underway by major shit stirrers so eventually they go away, and it seems to work at least for a short while, and this is good

Quasi - it was agreed it needed to be closed, I think people were questioning the way it was done... opening it again does not achieve anything.

Close open close open, okay will close

[Quasievil]

There you go, closed. And the last word now wasnt mine, so everything is fixed? great!

I read through the origional thread and thought it was nothing but a lot of (very uninformed) racist diatribe. My view is that racism has no place on this board. However it looks like the real outcome of this tragedy will no doubt leave some egg on some of those very vocal faces. We, as a minority group in this country are often maligned with an undeserved image. I find it rediculous that a relatively large proportion of our posters, those that often squeal about getting their own fair representation, can easily jump on the band wagon and racially malign others based on scant information.

[The_Dover]

can you open it again so I can have the last word?

bugger.

Yup open now

Hey it's coming. I've updated my profile pick though.

I've still got the VTR mind.

You can put BOTH bikes in. BOTH.

FFS, This is only an online forum, If all people do is bitch about mods then life is pretty good. As to bitching about mods , these people donate time to keep the site reasonably on track, plenty of forums online with no mods that have turned to sh!t .The twins posting a perfect example. A few more of those and many of us wouldn’t bother. If you've got a problem with it, become a mod.

As to Finns bulls!it postings, I'm glad it got shut down regardless of who did it / who asked for it. What the guy has gained in terms of financial gain he's lost in emotional intelligence. Used to have some respect for the guy. That’s dropped to nothing. But then again, who cares.....haven’t met him , wouldn’t want to meet him. No doubt due to part of my ethnic background he wouldn’t want to meet me. Finns loss.

Anyway, back to motorcycling Where's that Motogp thread !

[SPman]

Whats MotoGP ?







Ummmmm Hayden by a nose.

[chanceyy]

all of the personal attacks and bulls**t that went on in the other thread we lost site of the real tragedy.

Two babies passed away due to unexplained reasons (yes over reacting before the full fact where in and jumping to conclusions did not do anyone any favors)

but this is on the heels of the previous real tragedy of the kahui twins .. where still no one has been charged with those murders ... that killer is still among society, smirking in the face of NZders with getting away with it ..

how different the two pictures are .. firstly we have a family who obviously loved, cared for & wanted the girls, who did not want for anything..... then we have the twin boys who suffered unimaginable pain, blatant cruelty, who were obviously not loved .. & needed everything ..

so instead of personal bashings & one upmanship ... why do we not take a moment to think of all the children in the last yr who have died at the hand of someone else.... look at your own children .. have you given them a hug today and told them you loved them ..... if not then get off here for a few minutes and just do it ...

What I got from the thread was the common denomonator of ALL New Zealander's to lay the blame - someone,or something is responsable....no reason,just they want to blame.This is a National trait,it goes beyond racial boundries,sportbikes or cruisers,Lux or Palmolive - do we want to be known as the Nation that takes no responsability,but makes someone else responsable???

[Colapop]

I have had trouble finding out about the shadowy world of mods. I couldn't find a FAQ about it apart from two lines saying mods do stuff (abridged). If people had a little more info would they bitch less? Probably not - we don't live in an ideal world...

I think one of the strengths of KB is it's wide diversity of expressed opinions. Some of these comments etc are outside the acceptable limits of our own individual boundaries but it makes you think and readdress your own thoughts and feelings on the various subjects.
KB is one of the few mediums that offer these opportunities because of the lack of censorship and stifling PC rules.
The only censorship I adhere to is that which I place upon myself and this forum affords me ample opportunities to question my own standards and values.
Please do not turn this forum into just another run of the mill PC milksop rule infested wishy washy excuse for questioning our individual values with kid gloves on.
Our current crop of politicians (all parties) are doing it to the rest of the country, without us doing it to ourselves too.
People like FINN are a breath of fresh air, you can listen and debate but it's not compulsory to agree with him. (personal responsibility and accountability)
C'mon lets keep challenging each other, it keeps us awake. John.

I have to disagree there.
I personally wanted the truth and the facts placed on the table before coming to any conclusion.
I still await these facts from the coroner, and also view the media with distrust.
