How old is this annoying old man?

I've met you both, and you, young Merv, could be his daddy. Although I wouldn't wish that upon you.

Absolutely and if people are confused, the reason for my post in this thread is in regards to a post Katman made in Seans (info on Seans) thread, which is now in Pointless Drivel.. which it certainly is.

He stated that in his opinion that when someone claims to not remember an accident, it is often because that someone doesnt want to admit to certain aspects of the accident.

Awesome mate, my man had a major head injury, three seizures, in a coma and loss of memory, and you post that load of crap in his thread for him to read. I wonder who should be having his head read.

You might have valid points about certain things that you post about, but now I dont really care for anything you have to say.

Bugger Mel I will bling you for that as soon as I can. Well said. Couldn't agree more His comment was just plain off.

I thought there was more rancour in this thread than was justified by the original post.

But, isn't it about time to let it go, guys? At least on this thread.

In Sean's case, I was implying that even if he remembers nothing immediately before, during or after the accident, I'm sure he remembers the general manner in which he was riding that day.

Judging by one of Drews posts in that thread it's hard to imagine the accident was caused by anything other than Sean over-doing things.

No. People need to learn how to play nice. One day katman may learn that there is a time and a place. He insists that the only way people will get his message is by "drumming" it into people so obviously he needs the same in return. If ya gonna be an arsehole then expect to get treated like one.

+1 couldn't have worded this better.

Why doesn't he just get over it and get down off the soap box OR learn how to communicate in a manner that actually enables the very people he is most 'concerned about' to listen or bother to even think about 'considering his point'.

let it go as in stop posting about it or remove all the stops and go absolutly phsyco?

[Katman]

And btw, I think Drew 'gets it' even if some of you others are struggling to.

So now you assume to know what others are thinking....as well as the cause of every motocyclists crashes...

FFS - get over yourself.

I don't have any problem with comments like this one and I wouldn't have any problem with Katman coming back and explaining why he's not an arsehole. But the back-and-forth trading of body-part names is going nowhere. (And yes, I know "arsehole" is a body-part name too, but at least you've put it in some context.)

It's hard to visualise what going absolutely psycho on an Internet forum would involve.

Yeah I was a bit taken back by that as well... I mean the fact that medically one of the symptoms of major head trauma is memory loss, seemed not to come into the thought processes... it was just because Sean did not want to admit he was in the wrong....

Rrriiighttttttttt!

If you were inplying this certainly no-one inferred it from what you said. You were quite clear that you felt that many people did not want to admit to an accident being their fault and therefor claimed amnesia as an excuse not to own up. The clear implication of placing that in Seans thread was that you felt it was applicable to Sean's case.

Now you have changed your story, and yet you are still wrong. Sean does not even remember riding that day or if he was with anybody, he thinks he was riding with me although he wasn't. I know this is untrue because I didn't get a smack to head and my memory is fine.

Would be good if you manned it up a bit and just admitted you were out of line. But I suspect it's beyond the capabilities of your character to do that.

You just don't get it, do you?

Sometimes, even statements that may well be factually correct are simply inappropriate. Your wife, for instance, may be fat and have a hairy upper lip. You yourself may have, oh, I dunno... lost a job once due to incompetence.

(I'm just being random here, although I wouldn't be at all surprised if either or both of the above were true.)



However, my point is that nobody with the faintest degree of social grace would ever dream of insisting on bluntly pointing out either of the above to you, particularly in public.

You, however, have the gall to publicly spout offensive assumptions about the reasons behind Sean's crash.

To be perfectly honest, your conduct reminds me of skidMark and his frequent Asperger's-driven inability (yes, he really does have Asperger's syndrome) to realise when statements are inappropriate.

I'd be interested to know how you get on with people around you in real life. It wouldn't surprise me if you had great trouble making and keeping friends.
