Yesterday a moderator replied to my post by stating: (his actual words)

"you're either lying or not too bright"

Very nice, very UN-ADULT. THANKS....

Many of us may disagree based on our own opinions, have different ideas and thoughts. But calling anyone's opinion "not too bright" is not good (I won't stoop to the language that this mod probably uses in his daily life)

Justify it any way you may want FD, but that is really a poor way to respond.

I have asked the other 2, non-psychologically challenged moderators to remove me from this forum. I'm done. Do not need this stupidity.

Thanks OTG, Roy and all the others that reply in a non-derogatory manner.

OTG, hope to ride with you some day on L.I.

Ugh John.

I could tell by your tone that it struck a nerve.

What you have to understand is that while Drake is a little....blunt sometimes (weird coming from me I know) you have to take what he says with a grain of salt and just build a bridge and get over it.

Thick skin and short memory goes a long way.

You are entitled to your feelings, but I would hate to see you disappear over something trivial.

One of my saying is, "How much is that person paying for the space in your head?"

Remember, resentments only hurt YOU.

Please reconsider.

-Dave

It's just a web forum, don't get so personally invested in it.

John, I've talked to Duck on the phone, he's a decent guy, don't leave because of one difference of opinion. Rolling Eyes

On edit, I'm a poor beggar, do what you have to do.

OK,

I will leave the past behind me.

Dave, you there? I'm counting on you and the "J O" man to watch my back. I may have some goofy ideas- but after hearing patients complain all day long, I don't wanna' get any SSHHIITT here..........

I may hear the song of that great Duc exhaust note, but I can't afford to get rid of the heap o' Panzer wagon yet.

John

s h c t d...

have o t g take a photo of your back and pm it to me... i will print it off and will watch your back...

but be careful... o t g and mickey orourke have never been seen together...

i think they are the same person... so you better pull out the multiple personality disorder books and brush up a little... you are gonna need all the help you can get... and by no means should you go alone...

Hi John,

I just got back in town and saw this post. For myself, and others on this forum, I'm sure. It would be a loss not to have you as part of this forum. I'm very happy that you decided to continue to be a part of our family, such as it is.

Hello John,

It's great that you decided to stay. Very Happy

We're a pretty small group as it is and they're not making any more K bikes.

Hope you find it in your heart to truly reconcile and move on. We're all human and far less reliable than the K bikes. You already know that the moderators have a tough job (not to mention low wages for it!)

Cheers!

Sanjiv

To put it plainly...

Shit gets outta hand quickly online. Words can be misinterpreted, no matter how sure you are of their intent, because tone and phrasing are lost in text. I've seen it happen again and again in the 15 years I've been online. And I've been smack dead in the middle of it far more often that I'd have liked. You'd think I'd have learned by now... but it still happens every so often.

I've met FD in person and he struck me as a genuinely good person. And MNB is never wrong. EVER! Smile

At least not about that stuff anyways. He probably was outta smokes or didn't get laid or something and got grouchy. Laughing

It is amazing how much we all love our bricks. By today's standards, they're really nothing special. But even so, just yesterday, I was showing some squids how it's done. We love our bricks because they're such rugged machines. It's that dependability which brought us together here online. And I've come to depend on those of you here as well as much as I depend on my brick.

Yeah, once I get rolling, I can pull quite a bit of sap outta that three, eh? But matters is it's true. And I'm not ashamed to say it. (looks down, balls still there... whew!).

Thanks for stepping back and not pulling the ripcord. You and everyone that posts here (even the rare posters) contribute so much to what has been to me a great group and an extremely useful board.
