New crash study.

[madbikeboy]

Then they would be fucking idiots. Anyone who takes advice from the internet that has the capacity to shorten their lives and doesn't check it out with someone in the real world is an idiot.

Newbies and young ones should understand the way of the internet and realise you need a big pinch of salt with anything on there. I wouldn't trust an internet based scotch egg recipe without a second opinion, fuck riding a motorbike based on comments some random person offered up.

Wait? What? Everything on the internet is true. Trump is going to make the world a better place. The trolls are always right. Now, you need to excuse me, I have to give my bank passwords to this very nice Ethiopian prince.

If you were a noob, reading half this shit on this site, you'd have a critical inflection point - in other words, I wonder how many think we're retards and just leave.

I'd never had GG before, but at $60 for 700mls thought it might be ok. I'm not a connoisseur by any means but like to give different brands a try.

Didn't even know about the "Bank Note" so that tells ya something as well.

sailor jerry. similar high price point. even a cork in the bottle like real sailors have. muchos disappointing beverage. but it think y'all in the wrong thread.

I second Cassina's profile deletion.

Okay, my two cents worth.

A statement is made. Cassina responds to the statement, first agreeing or disagreeing enough to make you think she has listened, but then she pivots and brings some sort of deluded argument into play (it's luck, she crashes often but it's not her fault, or some variation on target fixation or not keeping up).

This is a strategy used by two types of people. The first example is Kellyanne Conway. She answers the first part of the question by repeating some part of the statement, then she pivots and brings her line of bullshit into the frame. For example, the interviewer will ask if she's lying about the terrorist attack in Bowling Green. She will say something like, "the terrorists are getting away with murder, and the fake news is attacking Donald Trump because he's threatening to show how corrupt the media is". She rejects the validity of the statement by repeating some part of it, then pivots, and makes a new sound bite. This is usually evidenced by soundbites like "alternative facts" for example. This is often used as a coached media response by CEO's under threat (VW's CEO, United Airlines CEO etc).

The second type of person is someone with a personality disorder. It's different from someone who is just plain dumb, because they don't redetermine the meaning of the statement. Often, people with narcissistic personality disorder (for example) will take part of statement, twist it, and then pull the direction back to their main hot topics. It's like a pivot, but the difference is that the narcissist is actually trying to establish their point as the "truth" which then makes them an "expert". The interesting thing in this scenario is that any disagreement to the "truth", even if it's logical and rational, doesn't matter because all the narcissist actually wants is the attention - even people yelling at them is attention.


I don't think Cassina is smart enough to be like the first type. I think that Cassina is the second.

The dilemma I see - and this is being serious for a moment - is that newbies might take her advice seriously. My question is, what does it take for someone to get banned from this site? Two candidates spring to mind immediately. Clearly, Cassina. The second is Axkle - I can't see a situation ever where someone threatening to commit crime against someone else's kids to be anything other than a banning offence. Mods, care to comment?

still upset that i fucked your dad, huh?

[trufflebutter]

I Mods, care to comment?

The Mods nowadays are anemic and are of the same consistency as a piece of under cooked veal. They attempt be all tough 'n shit every few weeks or so, but it is a laughable band of brothers that governs this chat site. Under resourced with about four operating Mods.

Under resourced with about four operating Mods.

Almost 50% of active members, then?

While I agree with the above sentiment, a bit of protest from other members on KB is warranted. Free speech and all...

Yeah well, not against free speech and all, but when one member is stuck on a single misguided message...I feel it's only fair when some of us take aim at such folly.

Almost 50% of active members, then?

The low numbers come about partly due to the inability to have a constructive conversation, for various reasons, thus many choose to depart and spend their time and energy elsewhere. This obviously includes moderators.

Ackerman, I keep offering to meet with you to sort out our differences. Red repping me is a kiddie tactic. Man up, put some gloves on and meet me for a few rounds. It won't hurt much.

Exactly.

Exactly.

And. Exactly.

You have a sick jealous hang up about me sport. I have been posting for years on here and I have yet to read from a newbie that they read my post and crashed as a result of the advise I gave. I DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO CRASH ON HERE SO FUCK UP WITH YOUR BULLSHILL AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OTHER TURKEYS ON HERE THAT THINKS THE SAME. The mods should be banning the likes of you and your ilk for attacking me.

What is Bullshill? Is that the casino version of truth?

Only a narcissist would thinks that hating you is a hang up. It's all about you princess.

If you don't like getting attacked, why don't you leave? Take the hint. Fuck off. I reckon membership would rise significantly as a result.

Now, I've got to go and thinks about the same stuff. I thinks thinks is being thinks wrong. I thinks. Therefore I ams.

Reading half the crap on here would necessitate counselling for the PTSD for most mods.

The attitude of one or two members and what they post on here would make a saint not want to continue here...

To me he's holding back somewhat. In simple terms, the inability you seem to have to accept that rider training of any kind improves the odds for many riders, this is what irks most sane minded members. To leave things solely to lady luck is just such a blinkered view, and it's this single fact most of us challenge, or at least want to. But yeah, trying to converse with you is an exercise in patience, for it's like trying to talk to a wall. So it's either sarcasm, insults or just leave the table altogether. So seeing as many are choosing the latter, why shouldn't we challenge your flawed participation on this forum. In days gone by we could sort this out with a short fused hand grenade, but apparently this way of commenting now could be seen to constitute bullying, so we're left with just trying to reason with words...

Or at least make them need a kindergarten teacher diploma

Sorry chief, I'm only still here because my halo is on the blink

[trufflebutter]

Almost 50% of active members, then?

....well possibly.

[Akzle]

Ackerman, I keep offering to meet with you to sort out our differences. Red repping me is a kiddie tactic. Man up, put some gloves on and meet me for a few rounds. It won't hurt much.

the irony being that you red repped me first. and possibly most. and now your vagina is all sandy about it?

i'd say you've taken enough knocks and cocks to the head already champ.

[Swoop]

Or at least make them need a kindergarten teacher diploma.

I believed that they were automatically awarded a kindergarten supervisory certificate to be able to do the job here...
