Topic: SOHC Censors?

[supersport_CB400F]

It seems fine to call a bike with a modified frame and exhaust a piece of non art and slag the guy who done the  work off BIG time, but if you make a comment about an other issues in a forum for discussion those post get deleted……BIG BROTHER what’s that all about?

Well, let's see...  There's quite a big difference between someone asking for other's opinions and getting them (regardless of how they may be stated), and someone, unprovoked even, ragging on, ridiculing, and belittling many people's bikes and the hard work they put into them, which is what you did. 

I'm not commenting on wether or not I agree with removing posts, because I don't feel like getting into that, but treat people on this forum the same way you would if they were standing right in front of you, and you'll have fewer, if any, problems.  I can pretty much guarantee that you don't talk to people in person the way you came off in the posts you're refering to, because if you did, you probably wouldn't be able to talk at all.

          I'm agreeing with Gordon and the reason the posts were removed might have something to do with where they were posted. I mean, that was on the BOTM forum not the OPEN forum. Do you think that it's possible that THAT is the reason? BTW, the winner of this BOTM was a Stock CB350F.

Gordon, I have to say I never ridiculed any persons bike read my posts properly, I just thought the two bikes in question with the vote was a mismatch….that was my point nothing more! I’m sure other though the same.

yes, you did... in fact, you ridiculed my bike as well as others

you are exactly correct bill... the WHERE was the problem


and, biffta... since you want to drag this out in the open and say that we do nothing... posts and confrontation like this will only get you one place... banned.
this is to warn you that any more of this and you WILL be banned.
consider yourself warned

[Gordon]

I read your post just fine,thanks, and remember it well, and I got the fact that you don't like having cafe and stock bikes in the same contest.  And, no, you didn't ridicule "any person's" bike, you ridiculed EVERY person's bike that happens to be in the cafe style.  You got your point across, and then kept going for some reason.

Dave, we're moderators - not censors.

We try to keep the site within the rules and common decency - compared to some sites I look at, I think we do a reasonable job.

Go watch some footy on Saturday and go out for a blat on your bike on Sunday - the weather looks OK.

I'm going to look at a Blackbird tomorrow, not saying the VFR isn't good enough but the grass is always greener...

One thing's for sure. I'll always have an SOHC.

[upperlake04]

  Since we've agreed that a civil, gentler, and kinder SOHC site is in all of our best interests, I think this is a good time to make  DammitDan  change his username to DarnitDan.

[DammitDan]

Boo!  Hiss!   

What would I be without my offensive name? 

[andy750]

I think you are over-reacting Heffay. I dont think a "ban" is at all necessary in this case and even to threaten one is an over-reaction. While I dont agree with Bifftas opinions on cafe bikes (I have one of my own) he is entitled to his opinion and if it were posted in the Open forum then I see no problem. Id rather not see a knee-jerk reaction to ban someone everytime someone writes something controversial - and while Bifftas comments could be taken as offensive to some (with soft skin) I think what he was really saying was that he dosent like the cafe style - so what? thats his opinion. Take a chill pill and relax. Bans are not necessary for something like this.

cheers

[BobbyR]

Can we at least agree, that this looks OK

[upperlake04]

I agree

[DammitDan]

Is that a man?

[andy750]

Well we can always rely on you Bobby to remind us of whats important :-)

cheers
Andy

[heffay]

did he get banned?  no, he got a warning.

let's leave the moderating to the moderators, thanks

[mcpuffett]

I've just re read all this and the BOTM thread and i think you have all had a sense of humour failure , you seem to have gone off on one over someones personal opinion?     mick.

[medic09]

Is that a man?

Dan, you SERIOUSLY need to see an optometrist!

[DammitDan]

D'oh!  Sorry, I thought it was this guy...

[BobbyR]

She looks better here

[DammitDan]

She looks better here

You want me to put Bill's head on her, too?!  Oh, Bill you're so versatile... 

[BobbyR]

Is that a man?

Dan, you SERIOUSLY need to see an optometrist!

Actually, you never know nowadays, at least in pictures.  She does have big fake titties, narrow hips, and very strong facial features...effeminate men can be made to look like very passable women.  Like I said, at least in pictures.  That why I like natural boobies, big or small, and thick, child bearin hips.  But then Im from rural roots, cant beat good ol corn fed women!

Yep, I can see what you mean. Living here in NY has blinded me to what a real woman is supposed to look like:

[supersport_CB400F]

I wish I could write a reply, but the censors would ban me, but I'm not sure why. Could you expand on your threat of a ban heffy.

Cheers

Tee Hee 

*edit* forgot this beautiful lady...
