General bitch (oops, I mean discussion) about bikers thread

We should all just stop arguing and pat him on the head for we will never win. For a) i'm sure most of it is just argument for arguments sake, and b) he's right in his own mind and will not accept anything except 100% his view of the world, ie. we're all wrong.

Save the breath and just butt in once in a while.

That's what I do. Every now and again I walk past and piss on him so he doesn't forget he's at the bottom of the pissing pole

It does if enough people say it.

You haven't got a fucking clue what the causes are in any particular accident, yet you claim that if enough people yell loudly enough they'll prove where the blame lies?

I know three year olds that know better than that.

Except that his behavior is both offensive and, (by his own measure) counter-productive. So, (again using his own logic) if enough people tell him he's an obnoxous pratt then he'll have to eventually see the light, innit.

Sounds like we've got proof that his method doesn't work!

Feel free to keep trying.

It was put to the vote you know...

The vote was for him to shut up, not whether he is an obnoxious pratt. I think he's a one-eyed, extremist attention seeker with CBD and possibly a personality disorder, but what right do I have to tell him to fuck off?

It was.

I won't deny any of this.

Semantics sweety. The tribe has spoken. Breath deep

You're scary, not in a good way! I agree with the poll what's your problem. I still think he's a twat.

His own CBD? Big guy then.

[Oblivion]

His own CBD? Big guy then.

99% of it is his ego.

I'm not defending the guy I just think that bitching about him is like moaning cause the sun rises in the East "Ooooooo the nasty sun is in my eyes blah blah"

Try accepting that constants exist in our world.

Or use the ignore function (twice if it makes you happier)

The implication being that it won't work?


Oh, the irony...

[MSTRS:Me]

The sanctimonious (key word here) members who argue that they should be freely allowed to criticise other riders are the ones who need to look at themselves.

I am not my brother's keeper?
But when what my brother does puts him and/or others at risk, or reflects negatively on me, I will speak up.

In an earlier post yungatart recounted an off she had, she looked at all facets and it resulted in her complaining about the road surface. It was fixed and so therefore a latent failure was eliminated.
Think about how many other accidents that didn't occur as a result of her actions.

*pedants hat on*
She owned her crash, accepted that there were a number of contributory factors, the biggest one/s being herself. She complained about the lack of warning signage, which was the only physical change made on that corner. One can only guess at how many possible crashes were averted by that simple expedient.

Katman doesn't know the site as anything other than a place to vent his spleen at everyone else.

Kiwibiker, the website, is many things to many people. What it is to every poster, is a forum that allows them an outlet for their own particular sub-interest/s.

[yungatart]

...But pointing out to them, (often with zero facts) that they're wrong adds not a jot to the sum of inteligence potentially useful in preventing further simmilar accidents.

It does, if it makes others think about their own accidents/incidents and attitudes to riding....which it does.
