Sounds pretty much the definition of a biker to me.

Sounds more like the definition of a prize fuckwit to me, but obviously you find the abuse he used to give out acceptable

Did any of Mikey's cyberspace shenanigans(? :S) ever manifest into actual violence or abuse in meatspace or any sort of reality at all? A bad phone call or e-mail or was it all posts & PMs on KB?

An inability to use this forum can substantially restrict a person's means of getting in touch with people who matter to them and commenting on matters important to them.

This 'just the internet' bullshit annoys me.

People who hide behind thier keyboard and whing most of the time, who often DONT have a bike at all.

Who dont always speak the entire truth, or that they are only speaking for thier own gratification.

Which regularly dribble complete shit about whatever the hell is on thier mind at the time, and in public would not say anything at all.

Yeah, "just the internet" is a complete farce, it's clearly real life, all the time, without exception.

Well, I'm open to correction, but it's my impression that the vast majority of folk who post on KB live in NZ, own and ride motorcycles and interact with other forum members in meatspace.

Yeah, that's nothing like real life, eh...

I dunno; I've met plenty of people who open their mouths far too often and dribble complete shit every time they do it.

Works both ways, too; there's plenty of folk on these here forums who are a hell of a lot more bearable when reading their occasional online contributions than they are in person.

Drew and jrandom both make good points...

"anyone without a life outside of the internet"
Most people on here do have a life outside the internet.

I like to bear in mind when I read shit on here written by people I have never met I may be taking it the wrong way.

Perfect Example is did I mean "Its only the internet" sarcasticly or not? I may not even be sure myself now !?!

I met and knew most of the Welly KBers (Including mikey) long before started activley posting on the forum, that doesn't mean it can't work the other way but I think it is important not to write people off as dickheads due to online ravings that may, or may not, be missunderstood or taken the wrong way or whatever.
I can't think of one person on here (including mikey) who I don't like in person.

Never had any problem with Mikey (or Winja). I think he may have said a few things to me via rep or PM in one of his aliases that would have shocked the vicar , but I can't really remember, and I certainly can't be arsed looking back to see. that sort of stuff doesn't bother me. 'Twas just his way, no point taking it personally, 'twould be like getting y' dick out because Helen Clark said "Well, bugger me "

I think if I was ever in any sort of trouble, I'd be pretty glad to have Mikey or Winja around.

Mikey has driven half the country on several occasions to help me out, but I dont think trying to argue his character will help this cause, it seems he was taken too seriously by people round here.

Unfortunately, that's the trouble...........
I found when dealing with those guys, if you shifted your mode of thinking to how they think,things didn't seem anywhere near as bad as they could have appeared. Then, you fired back in their language and tone, and all was well.
Unfortunately, not many people can, or want to do that, so, I guess it's a "for the common peace of mind of the many" situation.

Sad, but, that's life......

I guess

'taken too seriously'? - Nah!!

More like treating him like a leopard on a chain.

Ya poke him with a sharp stick and see which way he bit.

Hey, Mikey, I didn't know you rode a two smoker!

Sounds pretty much the definition of a biker to me.

Yea that is what I used to also think, but then I came accross KiwiBiker...

I'm closer than many and I have taken him too seriously on a couple of occasions myself.

But not everyone thinks all my jokes are funny either.

**Quasievil** · 26th February 2008, 18:13

Im thinking at the moment that there are two sides, those opposed to and those in favour, this obvioulsy stems from each persons personal experiences with Mikey, fair enough to both sides also, but this an open debate to.
Im sure that if this debate involved any of us it would go two ways and pros and cons would come out, for me I pissed a few off, but not in a long winded campaign,apart from Finn, Winja and Crazy Steve, which all is resolved now anyway, I dont doubt that he has displayed awesomeness to many, for me I aint seen it, so if he came back fine, but then what ? who will he line up next to personally attack ?
I think you can burn your bridges so many times before its to fucked to come back, Im thinking this is Mikeys situation.
If he does come back though, I wont be overly bothered about it, got better things to do however if he was given the chance I hope he can behave.
Thats about all I got to say on it.
Coro is about to start!
