Pointless Drivel

Well I read and enjoyed all 22 pages! Now I want my evening back.

Would have been a really good thread with Winja's input!

I know I would not be as patient if I had the power.

As your wife, Hahahahahahaha......... (sorry)

I was in a position to read the full original unabridged thread when it had got to 15 pages, and I really couldn't believe it had degenerated into the slinging match it became - I had made my only post on page 1. III was doing a pretty good deed in general, many people agreed with the spirt of the thread (at least, up to P15 they did), which was to generally condemn the actions of that particular group, and to show the pub in question how we feel let down as bikers and are willing to put it right. Some people voiced different opinions, which were fair enough and all fine, but some just went overboard and made personal attacks and flung abuse. I couldn't really believe it.

At the time I was reading it Joni and Hitcher were lurking in there as well, so I knew the abusers would get what was coming to them in the end, but it shouldn't have to come to that on KB. Having said that, the mods have my respect for the job they do here. Good work, the lot of you, for the thankless task of trying to keep this site civil.

Say what?
For the most part that was a great thread (until it got too personal right near the end) - if only the mods hadn't put it in PD we could have sold the rights for someone to turn it into a soap opera.

It's certainly amazing how threads can degenerate for the wrong reasons. Just went back and had a read and it is not hard to see that it was a minority, the same old minority with their quips and funnies that started the spiral. I'm sure (hope) you mods have a handle on them. I see idolyolyol (ah fuck its a mouthful) getting severely attacked for reasons other than his origional intent. A good intention to clean our (bikers) name up a bit for which he was prepared to put his money where his mouth was.. He clearly doesn't back down to his intimidators and isn't afraid of a scrap. Fair enough..! FYI I have met him and ridden with him and he is a top bloke who has a worldly wealth of motorcycling knowledge and skill that is worth listeneing to. We could all take some learn from this well spoken (in person) and intelligent individual. If ya wann crack funnies to prove your eloquent worth then there is a joke and humour forum provided.

Ironically the perpetrators of degeneration in the 'honda riders thread" are likely to have much in common with each other in person, I have personally found myself meeting individuals after fighting bitterly on the net with them to instantly feeling comfortable in their presence.
What I am trying to say is the persona on the net is frequentley an alter ego to that in the real world. Nothing said on this forum should be taken to seriously, many in fact [as the stranger points out] enjoy these online punch ups.

Well to tell you the truth SPB, Im tired of the people who enjoy these "punch ups", they often landup doing it to Mods, who are here afterall to try and help keep KB a more or less decent place... for some reason everytime you moderate someone, they think its personal... Im growing tired of these self centred arseholes who think this site is just about them...

They forget a Moderators job is to keep the "peace" in some way or another... and are so far up their own arses they dont look in the mirror and realise why the Mods attention are on them.... because they may be having fun causing friction, but 99% of the other memsber are thinking WTF? as they break the site rules.... thats why they are being monitored... not because its personal...

Sorry guys, I have been a mod for years and years now.... I suppose one rant every few years

[Swoop]

Well done Joni (and all the other mods who put in so much effort!).
Some threads, even well intentioned ones, just seem to draw out the weirdness in people.

Have a cold beer and put your feet up for a while.

When I first landed on KB I was amazed at this. How you can take someone out of context so easily on site, yet meet them and find out they are actually damn good people - take you for instance SPB - everyone thinks you are a c*&t, and I certainly wont say anything to change that.
