Fishing, of course. Just as our Lord was made a fisher of men, so is Mr Fish made a fisher of fools.

Certainly. You're a deluded optimist.

And the reason it can do harm, is because opinion and comment contrary to the party line that "motorcycles are dangerous " and " (it) is illegal" , will be deleted before it is seen by anyone.

So you will have a site full of antimotorcycle peopaganda. With a section where motorcyclists comment. And none of their (surviving) comments will in any way contradict the anti-biker line. So , it must be true mustn't it. None of those bikers have been able to contradict it. "Haven't got an answer for that, have they , must be true"

Granted some of the same people re still here, but as this site grew these self imposed moderators of modern values and morals became outnumbered, then realised that just because someone has a different view/linguistic ability doesn't make them a Harley rider, I mean bad person.

So what's different on Snapt? Self righteous - yup. Representative of the general public- nope. Slightly anal? - yup. So why not join in and present a balanced view on the site instead of whining about it on here where you wont be heard apart from the people holding your dick.

Eloquent and to the point.
Well said sir.

Sounds like someone took himself too seriously in the "early" days.

FWIW, I find it highly offensive to be compared to people who have no concept of what constitutes personal privacy, legality, or an ability to leave posts up that may actually be based in fact instead of common wisdom.

I went out for a couple of hours and the account has been deleted, the motorcycle forum shut down, and any evidence of KBers having been there seems to have vanished.

I would not like to be associated with these people in any way. Their National Socialist leanings are reprehensible. I don't care if someone disagrees with me or thinks I'm a dick, so long as they have the integrity to say so in public. Sweeping it under the carpet because you don't agree with someone is just a touch insecure.

Alternately you may be the pessimist as I haven't seen any of my posts moderated or deleted to date...

Except, read above

(Is my comma in the right place??)

Have you actually contradicted anything yet?

I find the opinions of others work so much better for me, the karate thing - use their momentum to show the kind of people they really are...

... if you get my drift...

**Ixion** · 26th January 2007, 16:08

That's a "No", then ?

**McJim** · 26th January 2007, 16:22

Democratically speaking this thread is pretty much a resounding "NO" then?

So where can we voice our opinions in an effort to re-educate the drivers at large? Thanks to everyone for proving Snapt is not the appropriate forum.

I wonder if I'll get my photo taken on the way home tonight? Better polish my leathers just in case.
