Latest board direction

[Gassick]

I'd have to say that there are many threads on the board these days that make me want to cringe. But the Damsel thread isn't one of them.

If anything... that particular thread seems to have revived the feeling of fun and community. Remember how the board works... boring threads die a natural death. Threads that people are enjoying go on and on. That thread seems to be incredibly popular. It's harmless - so why should it be subjected to censorship? Even threats of closure.

Why is it that this board will put up with foul language, boasting about incredibly bad behaviour on the roads, abusing those forced to enforce our draconian laws, prattling on about total and absolute garbage.... but somehow... the Damsel thread is too confronting. Hard to understand.

If you don't like a thread... ignore it.

I've recommended people come to this board too Dan... and it's not the Damsel thread that puts them off.

I have to so totally agree with you Astro. Frakk me dead!!! I dont even know whats there to discuss about? There are many threads I dont visit does that mean they should be deleted? And to say "thats why" some new visitors to the board "leave" is not only bullshit but anal at that. There is a place for everything on the board and agree to Busgo moving it to non bike related. But to even want to see it close down or removed???? and create this thread to discuss another thread? Sorry Dan you havent done yourself proud imho quite childish I am sorry to say. There were many avenues to vent whatever was irking you, but this was not the way.

The Damsel thread was nothing but a bit of light fun that turned into comraderie coupled with some innocent flirting. So frakkin what? no one had to join in if un-interested let alone follow it. But something tells me with over 10.000 views there are clearly many people who dont feel as you do. But to castigate and publicly have to debate it? Whats got up your goat? Maybe it was rejection? or felt left out?

When I come here I press 'View new posts' and sometimes its 2 pages worth. I look thru the titles and select that which I want to read or follow and out of say 40 titles I read only 10-15, I call that personal choice. If I dont want to read some thread Im not interested in, whose forcing me to? So whose forcing you Dan? Clearly the answer is no one. So if you followed that thread it was YOUR choice. So now you want to blame others for your choice? Gimme a break.......and grow up, and think a little before posting for even if your intentions were not to offend the Damsel - you clearly have done so and you know what? You cant take that back. The pebble you threw in the pond causes ripples and has an effect and once done cannot be undone. Thats the difference between maturity and immaturity knowing the consequences of a ripple effect. Pity, but its done.

A bit over the top there Volvi! Don't castergate a person for having an opinion. Isn't that what this board is all about. Recently I didn't agree with a fellow member but hey! We both moved on! I am a bit dissapointed in you Volvi because you have decided to get personal in your attack on Dan the man when there is absolutely no reason to? Again it was just a thought and an opinion that some agree with and some dissagree with. I think some people need to toughen up or don't get your tissue skins so sweaty!!!!!






How's that for a bucket of burly BUSGO?
