Bring back Carver? Yes/no

[Frenchy]

I think they are both like Winston petters, you don't really like them but you watch/read for entertainment!

[Ixion]

I didn't know he'd been banned. There's no option for "He's an obnoxious and silly young puppy, but that's not a reason to ban people.". I can always ignore his puerile blathering.

Don't believe in banning people.

[Forest]

The poll is broken.

It needs a "Who fuckin cares" option.

[gammaguy]

for what its worth i think carver and his crew are a bunch of degenerate illiterate and disrespectful louts who should get a haircut and join the army.

i think they rock,and the world needs more just like them,NZ is fast turning into a giant retirement home.

if ppl piss you off ya just have to ignore them-its that simple

[skidMark]

come on guys ... take out carver, skidmark and a few others and it would just be a site full of people agreeing on everything! who needs that? i admit sometimes i think hes a total pole smoker but he takes all the crap thrown at him (usually) and has a laugh about it.

didnt realise he had gone, but i say bring him back.

WTF cunty, where the fuck did i come into this shit lol

It is ignorable to a point, but disrespecting dead kiwibiker member blatently in a thread is too far, the thread should be in PD if you desire to look, he went too far this time.

read this prior to saying he is harmless.

^^^^^ the straw that broke the camels back.

Carver hasn't made it onto my ignore list yet. Come close a few times, but he does provide a form of entertainment.
Once the Moron Few polish up their bike reviews, I'm sure Big Dave will be getting protective of his job at KR!

Bring back Winja.

+1.

I'll expect a flood of red for this but well here goes anyway...

Not once did Carver actually refer to anyone specifically (well not until others did anyway). I think his point wasn't actually a bad one in that too many riders end up dead on our roads. My personal opinion is that the use of the photos in that thread was more disrespectful and tacky than anything he said.

As many had already said - no amount of 'scare tactic' was going to make an actual difference to his 'percieved attitude' (whether he actually is as bad on the road as he spouts on here seems to remain to be seen - their vids (the ones I have bothered with admittedly)certainly don't seem to paint the kind of picture that would seriously concern me) SO why the need to use fallen riders as 'examples' to teach - I seriously doubt it made any difference to him though my sense would be that it upset a hell of a lot more people than who it was targeted at.

It's heartbreaking that any road users end up dead because of their love for riding the road the way they each choose to. Should anything happen to me and someone thinks it appropriate to use pictures of me or my wrecked bike or my cut up gear...think again - my close friends and family don't need or want that and I'll be haunting your arse if I'm able.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - ignore the man if you can't help but be incensed by his posts...really it often says more about you than him anyway - especially the tone of some responses.

Again just my two cents worth and I am sure that there will be a whole lotta people that think my view is just head in sand stuff but - these were real people with real families.

AND YES - my selected choices are to not have any discussion or announcement on KB if something happens to me on a bike

[raftn]

Moron few group ride.

Gee...........ummmm.............that might cause a stir amongst the religious right!

[SixPackBack]

MORMON FEW ROCK!.......yeah baby....BRING BACK WINJA, DOVER, TEXMO and all the dissruptive and highly amusing cooonts

[FROSTY:Me]

er un--dya have an option for who's carver?
Sorta like kettpot really -I get bored and put em on ignore

[pritch]

It needs a "Who fuckin cares" option.

Or a "when he grows up".

The effort that got him banned was potentially quite offensive and there were no redeeming features although he started to paint it that way.

I guess there have to be limits and it would seem he exceeded them. The moderator done good.

[jrandom]

If this forum wasn't full of whining pussies, SpankMe would never have given a bunch of authoritarian twats the power to kick people off of it.

Unfortunately, that's what the world's like, full of whining pussies and authoritarian twats. KB just reflects that.

Can't blame SpankMe. The authoritarian twats do a fine job of keeping the whining pussies quiet so he doesn't get bothered with stupid shit on a daily basis. Hell, I'd set it up exactly the same if I owned a forum like this.

Not much to do, really, other than learn how to stomp on the whining pussies without overtly breaking the rules of the authoritarian twats.

so true!!

I also read that thread and I think he makes a valid point that sum ppl don't know where their limits r...if carver's are wheelin past at crazy speeds thats fine, I'm not offended to be told I'm slow....da most important thing is knowin ya limits and ride to them; so I would agree wif number 1 and say stop risin to the bait!

[Quasievil]

most of you are dillusional this isnt a democracy so whats the point, not to mention Carver, Winja, Texmo havent gone anywhere they still existthere is more than one website in New Zealand ya know.... just because they arent on KB no point crying about it.
