Making excuses

[Headbanger]

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.

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.

Hmm but Drew wasnt there. Sean cant remember that day, but I can remember what he said to me before he went off on his bike. And as for Seans Accident do you really think that there is anyway in hell that he would want me or anyone discussing it with you? I think anyone who has had a major accident would be having a good hard look at themselves for whatever the reason for the accident was, and comments like yours are just downright dumb. Deano said it right.. get over yourself.

Katman - Owned by KB since the day he joined. Take a hint buddy.

I havent been on here for awhile, and Im sorry I couldnt be arsed reading the whole thread, so Ive probably missed some very important rants...but katman, everytime Ive seen your name it preceeds some sort of an insult or belittling.

I get where your coming from, as I assume does everyone else...nobody needs your beligerence or rude behaviour and inappropriate disrespectful remarks to remind them how to ride safe.


To be quite honest Im starting to wonder if you dont just love the sensationalism your causing by your attitude, otherwise you'd take a pill and chill and communicate without the bs.

There. Nuff said.

FAR CANAL MATE!

Don't you know when to pull your head in about something you know nothing about, or are you just too ignorant to give a damn?!

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.

Kraponman is simply showing his ignorance and utter comtempt for others.
The other Sean on here (Shaun) also had a wee off and a slight tap on the ol' noggin amongst other assorted bumps'n'bruises...he doesn't remember a thing between 5 days prior to his whoopsie and waking up in hospital. Even now. What - 8 months later?
I challenge you, Krapforbrains to call him out over his riding skills.
Censure me, if you will, mods, but it behoves me to state plainly...Katman is a fuckwit who should be permanently removed from these (sometimes) hallowed halls.
And just to be absolutely clear....to you, sKatman.

I agree.

Unfortunately, KB Is Not a Democracy (tm), and as dictators go, Mental Pants is even less interfering and grumpy than SpankMe (if that's possible) so I doubt that it will ever happen.

I stood up for Katman over comments made some time ago in Quasi's post. I felt that he was being unfairly treated. It was clearly a mistake and I would like to apologise.

[Tank]

I agree.

BUT .. there could be a mass 'ignoring'. If everyone added him to the ignore list at the same time - then he is as good as off here anyways.

Without wishing to get caught up in the angst flying around here, I will state (from my own knowledge), that a blow to the head can (and usually does) cause amnesia, both of things that happened before the blow (retrograde amnesia) and things that happened immediatley after the blow (antegrade amnesia - I think I've got them the right way round, if not read backwards).

The period of memory lost can vary from a few minutes to months. Usually the memory never returns

There may also be a period at each end where memories are partial or interrupted. And sometimes the brain will "invent" false memories, in an effort to "fill in the gaps" and make sense of this partial information . Sometimes the gap filling actually comes up with what did happen, sometimes it is completely wrong. Or memories of two different occasions or events will be muddled together . So what the person does "remember" may not be a true memory at all. Hence , for instance , "remembering" riding with a companion, when that was not in fact the case. The companion has been remembered from another occasion and mixed in (or is a normal adjunct to a ride and the brain has "filled it in")

This is a completely well established fact, which can be verified by reference to any reputable medical source. It is completely beyond the control fo the person concerned.

Good suggestion, Joni.

Let's all follow through on it!

[Katman]

Why do I continue to do it?

Because the message of accepting personal responsibility and accountability needs to be constantly hammered home. Because if it isn't we will continue to blame cagers, cheesecutters, diesel, tyres, pedestrians, weather etc etc etc, and nothing will ever change.

What a tool.
