"Only if you go looking for it Throwdown, you can find anything if you look hard enough..."
Hang on! I'm on here minding my own business. I've got better things to do than sit on a computer looking for hate. There are sites for that if that's what floats your boat, but it is meant to be about bikes on here.
How do I go looking for it? I bought a busa, then came on here because it's the principle site in Australia for information on the bike, but then every once in awhile someone unexpectedly writes crap on a thread about women, gays or ''turban heads'' (the last straw for me).
If that's 'looking for it' then you've proved my point - the only way for me to not 'look for it' is to stay away, because I'm classed as 'mamby, pamby' if I object to it. It's not 'mamby pamby' to expect good manners and respect from fellow human beings. Or maybe on here it is!
This stuff is spewed out presumably because some expect it to be okay amongst like-minded company. Well... we're not all like-minded that way, so if this is to be a red-neck site, tell the rest of us not to come back. If not, then object to the bigotry.
