    Personally, I think you are full of shit. Other than when taking into consideration the feelings of the families of a lost one immediately following a death not once that I can recall have the Moderators ever moved a thread into PD immediately because it reminds us that people can be killed on motorcycles, and that reckless riding can hasten that. Not once. They do get moved however once the thread goes off in another tangent of personal abuse and bullshit posts.

    So Mr Ixion, as one of the 'elders' of the forum, I find your attitude grossly irresponsible. You attack people who do their best to run this site, who are not perfect but do a damned fine job, from your self-appointed 'Heavenly' position. You spread bullshit about the motives of the moderators of the forum, with no basis whatsoever. I realise that a lot of people here value your input and help on a number of issues, but your constant 'conspiracy theories' attack on the moderators is beyond a joke.

    Hey that makes at least two of us with the same opinion of him then, although as I have said before I'd put him in the blatant liar category as well, with his little rants about the "Heaven Born" most of which bears very little resemblance to the truth

    That makes 3 of us then.

    However for me, its bit of a conundrum, because at times, Ixion, you come out with jewels of knowledge and things that sooo many riders (beginners or veterans) can learn from.... but when you go down this path, I just sit back and my heart sinks... such a pity, such a waste.

    Nope. When a self styled "elite" (their words) claim to be the "leaders" of NZ motorcyclists (their words), whilst we are but the "great unwashed" (their words) I'm going to stay and tell them to back up their claims.

    Why? When someone (me) does the same to you...you don't. Or can't.

    So Ixion... I will give this one to you.

    When were these things said? And by who? Please substantiate what you are saying as its fairly radical.

    Because that is not the way the majority of Mods see things.

    The "great unwashed", wow!

    edit: OAB, snap!

    I am tempted to say "It doesn't say it anywhere because it says it everywhere", but I think the illusory allusion would miscarry.

    But indeed the Heaven Born , like their quandam namesakes, do indeed in all things announce their superiority, and distance from we lesser mortals.

    The claims to leadership were in your own post , announcing the rule of the quadrumivrate , which so long adorned the home page , but has now mysteriously disappeared (after a sojourn in Site Stuff). Like a sprite, insubstantial upon the air. Odd that. Like much else that has recently disappeared from there.

    The reluctant acceptance of elite status I may not directly quote since it was in a PM, but reference may be had in the "thanks for the fishes".

    I was wrong about the unwashed masses - we are not unwashed but faceless. Faceless masses , now in this thread

    Stop the presses, Ixion found a single reference pointing out I (like the vast majority of members) don't know what the vast majority of members here look like because they're behind a screen. Obviously proves everything you're saying.

    Weak. And getting weaker everytime you roll it out. At least you've got yourself convinced.

    EDIT Whoops forgot this isn't the Let Ixion prove himself wrong thread. Sorry.

    EDIT2 It's 1:30am and I can't sleep and my brain just registered the fact that Ixion is has become the focus (unfortunately) of a thread called the measure of a real wanker lol

    So Mr Ixion, as one of the 'elders' of the forum, I find your attitude grossly irresponsible. You attack people who do their best to run this site, who are not perfect but do a damned fine job, from your self-appointed 'Heavenly' position.

    Damn straight, he's a witch........burn him





    ps: in all seriousness, spot on OAB. Time to get off that high horse Ixion.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Thankyou so much, you don't know how much I was hoping it would be that post you took that quote from. I remember it well, I should, I wrote it. And what I said was that the SM's were the leaders of the site. Which they are. They make the decisions about what rules are in place, what actions are taken etc. But trust you to take that quote and include your own delusional thoughts by twisting it to say that I meant that we were the leaders of all NZ motorcyclists. As for the rest of your 'proof', as MT pointed out, weak.

    In fact, here is the original paragraph:

    To reiterate, we will not tolerate personal attacks or heavy abuse on any of the members here, and the same goes for any abuse directed at the moderators. We make that distinction because we are the leaders of the site, we are the ones charged with making decisions, and while we are not perfect, our decisions are final. We appreciate constructive feedback on any issue, but any abuse will be dealt with appropriately. If you do not agree with the actions of any of the mods, please PM one of the Senior Moderators and ask them to look into it. Using the PM or Rep system or forums to abuse someone is not acceptable.
    And here is the original post, still in Site Stuff despite your paranoia that stuff is 'disappearing' - cue twilight zone music.

    Thank you, you fool. You've just proven to everyone what a loose grip on reality you really have. I actually feel sorry for you.

    Sorry to Fatjim for taking this further off topic. I hope you understand that I am only responding to unwarranted attacks on the moderators by accusations from Ixion about the steps moderators take resulting from biker down threads.
