Should Katman shut the fuck up?

[Bodir]

No from me, unless you start talking about:

- The advantages of salad
- How good Arsenal are
- Germans
- Where babies come from

- Salad is a test whether you are red/green blind. If you eat it you should see a doctor, cause it aint beans or meat!!!!!

- My arsenal is really good, Twin MG mounts, big ammo boxes etc

- I know nothing

- Ok, on the last one you are right

[Quasi]

resounding no from me. I dont like the way you deliver your message most of the time, but it is an important message. We all need to remember to ride defensively, all of the time. I personally have looked at and changed the way of ride because of your posts.

[Bodir]

A no from me.

I have voiced my oppinion privatly to Katman when I thought it was out of sync with current behaviour standards.

Otherwise, the meassage is right, the delivery is mostly blunt, so gets read. As soon as there is a reaction there is recognition.

Keep em coming

Come on I was just about to bite into my lunch time pie

Given much thought to the meat in there? It doesn't grow on trees in an orchard, you know.
Some find KM and his message deeply disturbing or unpleasant. At the very least, an inconvenient truth they'd rather not have waved in their face.

Where's the 'I don't give a flying fuck' option?

Seriously.

[davebullet]

No from me. Your advice is sound. I don't think anyone has a problem with what you say, they just might take exception to the way you say it. Sometimes you give it without being asked. Sometimes you give it when explicitly asked not to.

Either way - if someone stumbles across your posts, it "resonates" with them and helps them stay alive, then who are we to stop it?

PS: I was going to launch into an analogy of "let's all stop eating beef and just eat chicken from now on". Variety is not a choice. It is what nature demands.

[MSTRS:Me]

It's looking pretty good for KM to keep beating us until we prove the govt wrong.

And if anyone still doubts the big stick approach, try this....

If I wanted you to realise that climbing fences was a bad idea and you should stop, what would work?

"Fences are dangerous and you can get hurt by them"

...and what is this doing in General Bikers anyway?...
Its a Rave surely?

You start sounding like a broken record, like Katman. One differnce though, he tries to get a good message across.

I voted no, and was surprised to see so many likeminded ppl. When I first joined some time ago, I thought KM was a troll, but now I realise it's just 'his way' of getting the point across. You might not like the delivery, but arguments against the message are thin on the ground.....

[wanpo]

I voted yes, not because I don't agree with the message, but how it is often executed.

Going into a thread where someone's injured themselves whether they could have avoided it, and telling them they would be ok if they had only sucked less is kinda bad taste.

Also the majority of the forum knows the message already and are all thinking "Here comes Katman" when reading through said threads.

Bit like the cops sending you a ticket for Careless Causing Injury after you have an off that was your fault.
I'd argue that it's un-necessary because you'd already learned your lesson...but have you? The ticket is just emphasis on the first 'lesson'.

No Dr Katz

[racefactory]

No he shouldn't. More power to Katman.

I believe what he has to say is for a good cause and I appreciate that there is someone that feels the need to stand up. People can choose to ignore him or they can go away... it's a message board. If not then there would only be boring bystanders like me. You always need variety and different opinions.

Keep it up, and thanks.

At least I make the effort an put in an appearance...

[Flip]

I say no, because the message is important, however timing and delivery is everything. Some times a cold splash of reality does no harm.

I didn't see a "go fuck yourself Katman" button.
