No shit throwing = No fun.

[oldrider]

If only life was so easy. There is a big difference between playful banter and malicious bullying abuse. The former is acceptable on Kiwi Biker. The latter is not -- even in Pointless Drivel. Most people who have been members for a while should know where the "line in the sand" is on this matter -- even the pitiful, bitter, shit-stirring, sad old men.

I don't know what happened or why and make no judgement about the reasons but:

I am a pitiful, bitter, shit-stirring, sad old man and I liked most of the crap that used to get chucked around on here.

Most of it was clever and outrageously funny, frankly I do miss those people! John.

Had a look and ya know what? Day-jah-voo, saw nothing more 'exciting' than I see on KB.

Same shit, same people and a big set of site 'rules' right at the top of the home page.

not to much of an extensive list

1/ No Religion related threads or Posts
2/ No Political related threads or posts
3/ No Racial remarks slurs or otherwise
4/ No Abuse of another member, ZERO tolerance !!!!
5/ No Threatening Behavour

Ten rules too many and they "all" begin with "no" and you say the guys that have left here are happy with that!

Bullshit!

The ex KB members I am thinking of would die laughing, what a joke. John.

As for internet bullying - amazing how people become nine foot high and bulletproof behind a computer screen, but bugger all have the nerve to say the same stuff face to face.

You said a mouthful there - I'm sure if some of the stuff posted was said fac-to-face in a pub the person saying these things would develope an ability to swallow their own teeth.

And those same teeth-eaters are in all liklihood as fragile as a spider-web clutch cable.

John, those rules are on the Sports Bike forum if you pop in and have a nosey at it.

Oi - whats with the self portrait!

[merv]

That's why I'm happy to use my real name on here. What you see when you meet me is the same person (dork or fucktard if you like) talking the same shit and I wouldn't say anything on here I wouldn't say face to face and no I don't like swallowing teeth. If everyone was the same and didn't hide behind a facade maybe we'd be more like the happy crew we should be.

Very very true my man!!

But 'tards just luuurve hiding behind the 'net.

I guess in your business though Scummy your identity has to be preserved.

To a point - but I don't try to hide on a face-to-face basis at rallies etc as anybody who has met me can attest.

I must back Scumdog up here I've seen him at some rallies. Yes he is real ugly. I think the Police only use him on nite shift.

[merv]

No matter how ugly you are Scummy, if you ever make Wellington let us know, we'll have lunch with you and go on a ride. Hell we even put up with Colapop, we're a nice bunch really and that includes the 'rapa crew.

[Skyryder]

On here I use a forum name. Out on the road I prefer my real name. In fact I don't like to be called by my forum name out on the road. Face to face that's personal and I prefer my persoanl name. But then that's just my me. It's not about hiding behind the net or any other such rubbish. It's word play. So there was the occasional shit fight. Hell no ones walking away with a fat lip or bruised eye. So some egoes get knocked a bit but no ones admitting to that happening to them. There were some good old scrapes in days of yore but as with most things all things change. KB is no exception. Maybe one day the rules may lighten up a bit ..............but I'm not holding my breath. KB like so much here in NZ has got PC.

Well anyone that has met me knows I won't (and can't!) hide my identity.

I still get PM's saying "Saw you on the motorway this morning - bike's sounding good" from KBers I haven't even met.

There are a few of us that wear our identities on the backs of our bikes.
