OK - wat the f@ck is going on??

[Ixion]

Sigh. I've given up. Just extend the KB clothing range. Add black armbands. And lay in a good stock, they'll be needed before this summer's over.

But that's OK, just so long as no-one talks about it, it doesn't really happen , right?

Wise words from Ixion, take heed people, none of us are invincible.

I know who the borg are thank you very much....jeez, I wasn't suggesting or expecting you all to be ruled by a common mind alla the collective......but on this one subject I thought that a united front would have been productive even if some did agree and others didn't at least the message is clear.....where as the situation we have now is some mods think its a good thing to discuss this some are on the fence and some think its a bad thing.....result no one knows if your allowed to shit or get off the pot

Ixions illustrates my point to a T.....thank you sir

[riffer]

Okay, I've bit my tongue for a while on this one but this is getting a bit silly ...

If I stuffed up and had a fatal, I'd like to think others could learn from my mistakes.

Any discussion must help. We have the report post option for a reason. Let people post. If the mods get enough complaints then pull the post. But not the thread.

[Joni]

I reckon a lot of you are missing "the other sides" arguement... no one is saying dont discuss it...

What is being asked for is a little more time, the timing is felt not to be right... however the message, the lessons that can be learned are VITAL...

People like me (i.e the softies) are just looking it from the people grievings point of view and trying to respect that too...

[dawnrazor]

Does that mean the thread will be reinstated??????

PS Joni I realise you and others are grieving and I had made peace with that...but then the thread was pulled just when it had seemed to start being productive and sensitive to everyones wishes......I guess what I'm saying is, if it was Quasi's rather frank recount that caused the fuss, why has it taken until today to pull the thread? He posted that on sunday night.......

[Joni]

Not right now no - it was pulled for a reason....

The timing is never right. We (well an awful lot of us) need to 'discuss' this when events are still very fresh. And by pulling the thread, it is saying "You are not to discuss it".

[Joni]

Then so be it MSTRS....

Im tired, we are going around in circles... the decision has been made.

and by the way, my comments were on what a few of us feel about the discussion, NOT on why the thread was pulled...

[Deano]

I don't see anything similar being discussed in the Sportsbike forum ?

I didn't look that hard but......

[onearmedbandit]

Doesn't mean much Deano, 6000 members here compared to maybe 300. And of those 300 most would frequent here as well so no need for them to start a discussion on it there.

Ah screw it.

What was being talked about in those threads was (mostly) bullshit.
There was very little detail about the accidents. Conjecture and supposition (at least until I gave up looking) was all that was there.
What good is that? None at all.

Now as SP Man says, sure an aircraft accident style investigation. Great go for it. But the (mostly) crap that was posted was very short on specifics and long on guess and opinion.

Publish the report (keep it accurate) and that will tell me all I need to know. We (well me anyway) are all quite capable of drawing our own conclusions thank you. I really don't need any thread on KB to tell me what to do or not do on the road. If the rest of you do, I pity you, how did you get this far in life without KB's sage wisdom?

In the absence of a substantive report from which some learning can begin, why put the families through ANY unnecessary pain or discomfort?

So stop being busy bodies, go take a chill pill and trust SpankMe and the rest of the Mods to do their job in the best interests of all involved, as they always have, and I am sure always will.

Yes but if people don't like the censorship/moderation on KB then why not go to Sportbike to discuss - I doubt Quasi would block the posts.

Instead of bagging KB moderators, there is an alternative.

True mate, wasn't looking at it from that angle.
