Biker dead, Moorehouse Ave

[Katman]

Kiwi Biker members have a proud history of posting mind-numbingly stupid, insensitive and disrespectful comments in Biker Down threads.

Yeah, but how long can you stay like that?

Well, needless to say, all forums everywhere a full of personal opinions, attitudes and fundamental beliefs.
Mix any pot of different people and you are bound to get some interesting colours, mud and goop.
It doesn't really matter to me what anyone says or believes, what I like is the honesty of people expressing themselves the way they feel they can and should.
Yes there are rules governed by legal avenues to protect the site and its owners from reprise, but please, don't be shy to share random dumass opinions, just don't mention names, dates times and exacts.
Legally you can get around these by stating at approximately.... use false names like Kermy, or dingis, and places like Cocksborough...
Freedom of speech is simply that, or is it? What is PC doing to this nation, turning it to the crappa I reckon.

Freedom of speech or freedom of smilies?

So you're saying that I don't have the right to state the facts, but the media does?

Often the media will state the 'fact" of someone elses' speculation, or the "fact" of a possibility.

Don't confuse facts with truth nor either with objective reporting

Exactly.

I just heard that a biker died by hitting a pole down Moorehouse Ave, Christchurch tonight. Does anyone else know any more?

RIP fellow biker.

I'm still at a loss as to why people have to be the first to report a "biker down" I'm still trying to get over another KB'r starting a thread about a local who was killed and all my neighbourhood friends thinking I knew about it cos of KB'r. Bad news travels fast. Best to let family find out with out the speculation first and let them get over the shock before the rumours start.

I think you should contact the Christchurch Press newspaper and express your concerns to them, as they included an article about this event.

If you don't like it, then don't read it. With a title this like, I was not misleading anyone as to the nature of this thread.

Well (not) said
