If you don't want me to assume things about you then how about answering direct questions?
Let me get this straight.
An old fart wants to appear to be a nice guy to his mates on the internet, after disrupting a political discussion and pretending to be an expert on risk management and epidemiology. He drops random names of viral diseases and Acts of Parliament into the discussion. He fucks up a nice conversation, starts talking about drugs and living in the real world (because he imagines, probably because of his avatar, that others think he's a tough old ton-up boy or rocker) then moves to another thread where he starts chatting nonsense about WW2 aircraft. Again, an expert on WW2 aircraft as well...
Whatever stupid cartoons you used to like, well they're probably your only link to the people you think you're impressing |
The Starfighter was a cold war plane...
Between my partner and myself we have: A 1200 bandit, a BMW R850R, a Honda NC23, A Ducati M900, a Ducati M750, a Kawasaji Zephyr 750 and a Honda Hornet. I've been riding bikes since I was 17.
My profession involves risk management and resilience in spades. I'm good at my job.
Oh and threads on here are open to anyone to comment. Petulant outbursts just make you look silly though. |

You seem to imply there is some mythical book of rules on how forums are to be run
What's the problem really? That the forum is chaotic and we should have some order? Well that's one opinion but surely the guy who set up the forum and pays for its running has some input and if that's "let's see what happens with light-touch, low interference..." At the end of the day has anyone died?
Maybe read some Michael Malice just to get a different perspective. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

You don't get it.
Moderation isn't radical. It's used in all sorts of forums. You're just not used to seeing it here because you think it reflects one's bikeyness and general toughness to let assholery slide. Being an asshole has nothing to do with bikes. The forum already has a "mythical book" and it's called the forum rules. It's just got no teeth because there isn't actually anyone tough or resilient here. Like you, they just want to fit in somewhere. I don't share that desire, although I don't want to be an asshole, especially to some duddery old guy who just wants to be respected. But it's been a big ask, recently. And, for me, it really is a choice

Behaving like an idiot for the sake of it
This is not 4chan, it is a bike forum. There is much less moderation here than you might find on similar sites, but there are limits... If you go out of your way to find out where exactly the line is, chances are you'll find yourself on the other side of it signing up for a new username. |
Nobody died, but I was repeatedly trolled by an idiot who kept saying stupid shit like "You're a 6th former " in the midst of a serious discussion. Given your background and your actual participation in that discussion, it amazes me you want to "fit in" with people like that. You know, there are guys in their 60s who live in a little room and dream about WW2 arms and armour. This forum is the only respect they think they've got. And you want to fit in with that?
Riding a bike doesn't make me or anyone else a tough guy matey. You don't have to play along with this shit. |

Nope, I just felt like calling it exactly as it is. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 94 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
