The phuckin PC brigade is here!

[Conquiztador]

I fix bikes.

I own a few.

I have sons who ride.

I write on here. Start some threads and reply to postings. Mostly I share my knowledge. Tell ppl what I know.

So when I post something, or start a thread, that is my opinion, I would like to think that ppl would accept it and respect it for what it is: A posting from a guy that has been there and done that.

But no. I get red blinged for my postings from young upstarts that tell me to get a fuckin life.

Not that I loose any sleep.

I can live with that.

I know that when they get to my age they will get the same.

But what really gets me is the PC brigade. The ones who know best, the ones who talk to their local politicians, thge ones who ride with dayglow vests. The ones who think they have all the answers, and think they have the right to tell me that I am wrong, that I need a red bing.

Guys (and gals) biking is about freedom.

When you start making rules you fuckers have lost it.

Heck Conq, you've got a grand total of 9 red-repped posts and 320 greens.

Relax.

[Headbanger]

Yeah well, Red rep is best laughed at, Its weak shit, Your status as old school biker is unchanged.

Get on your bike and ride, Your still free to do so no matter what the self-appointed safety reps have to say about the manner in which you do it.

[Conquiztador]

I do not give a shit who and when red reps me.

It has to do with why.

[slimjim]

[Highlander]

thge ones who ride with dayglow vests.

I wear a Dayglow vest but I didn't realise that made me one of them PC thingies.

I wouldn't worry about it mate, i enjoy reading your stuff, even if i dont agree........but then it would be a pretty boring place if we all had the same opinions........

So you do give a shit then if you still want to know why...does it matter what thet think.."No"

Jesus fucking Christ.

"You kids get off mah damn lawn, d'ya hear me? You will respect mah authoritah! Waaaaah!"

It's the internet old man, get over it. Unlike real life, you can't always choose who you share it with.

If the good aspects don't outweigh the bad for you, then I'd suggest you get off it. Or alternatively, you can put up with the few tossers (who, at the end of the day, have every right to disagree with your opinions, even if they do do it in a childish manner) and enjoy yourself.

Either way, I'd suggest you harden the fuck up.

[The Stranger:Me]

Tell ppl what I know.

I see a conflict here.
You tell people what you know (fact) OR your opinion.

Perhaps you need to make it clear which one it is, because a lot of argument seems to develop when people pose opinion as fact?

Not an accusation, just a suggestion.

[CookMySock]

Yeh let it go, bro. Just keep doing your thing. The thing with forums is, they filter for people who disagree with you, much more than people who DO agree with you, so you get a bit of that. Operations normal! Proceed!

And remember, people resort to abuse immediatly after losing an arguement.

I guess like me you have grown up around bikes,they have been a part of your life a long time....and met some pretty weird types.But even if they were an axe (or machine gun) murderer there was still a connection...you were on the same wave length.But now we find there are people out there riding bikes who have no life at all.....they may be an iPod killer,but there is no connection to them.I wonder WTF they are doing riding motorcycles,coming into my world,playing my games....and then wanting to change the rules.Fuck off nerds - the rules were set a long time ago.In the back room there is still a game laid out for the old guard.

Heres the error in that. "Everything on the internet is opinion."

There are a few people who speak in "fact", but mostly it is just "fact according to them", ie "opinion", so we end up at square one.

It's about time you took my defaced picture out of your fucking avatar too. You have no right to take personal pictures of people, deface them, and ridicule them on the Internet. Why do you think this has no effect on people? Why do you think it does not make you look smaller?
