I've been noticing a lot of negativity out of some of the members here. I've seen personal attacks that just seem like they came out of nowhere. Why? What the make the beast with two backs? Its the internet for Christ sake. This is supposed to be a fun place, which most of the time it is. I don't agree with everybody or everything on here either but at least I don't have to make myself look like a box of douch name calling and purposefully getting threads locked. I would think we are all growed up.
I've noticed the same thing. :-\
Cabin Fever ???
I heart everyone! People are stressed about big life things. IZ is to easy a target so they are now taking it out on the others. Noobs and others alike. Some miss the polytic space and need to lighten up.
[drink] for all!

1) Not everyone can get a long
2) Cowboybebop.
3) Suck it. Its the special time of year for me, and im gonna use my new ID and get shit faced.
4) The weather will turn around soon and everyone will start riding again and forget how much they hate each other. hoepfully gas prices wont sky rocket this summer :(.
its still no riding season for many on the board.......happens every year (here and before on TOB)
people get stir crazy.
not justifying it in any way, just describing a fact.

Cowboybebop is awesome! Wait, we're talking about the anime, right?
Me thinks it's the end of winter so the snowed in peeps are getting cabin fever from not being able to ride. Also general life stress likely plays a large factor.
people suck...
They need to push their own hate and discontent to others...
and people suck. ;D

bite me, Fargo boy
;D
[laugh] [laugh]
Hell yeah Fargo. Home of the $3 pint of Guinness!!!
Speaking of Guinness, I'm going to head downtown and put a dent in the city's supply! [drink]
Have you not noticed , we are living in the end days and people are getting a little crazy ! The Economy and the Media are driving us all out of our minds.
All you here on the Finacial News Channel is that we are Economically speaking " going to hell in a hand basket . " Same bad ass story from the Media , nothing but bad Economic News.
It's enough to drive a sane man insane.
Only cure if you can do it and I DID IT Thursday. After almost 110 days without a bike ride , .....I ROAD !!! 101 miles. Made me feel GREAT .
Now I have a " Monster " Head cold. .........but it WAS worth it ! Dolph
I say ban all the negative make the beast with two backsers for life. Don't need them. [thumbsup]

STFU you dam crybaby!!!!!!!!!!!!
;D Kidding, you answered your own question though. It IS the internet and many assholes grow BIG I-testicles and like to talk shit online b/c they have little to no fear of recompense. On top of that some people are just doing it to see if they can get a rise out of someone. (also assholes)

Forgive me for trying to lighten the mood. From many of the other posts I see on here I was under the impression that jocularity was a large part of this forum. My post was simple a joke reflecting the nature of the OP.

Don't get all sensitive on me. ;)

I knew he was just kidding, he said it, had a smiley, etc.
I wanted to just type make the beast with two backs Off, but didn't ;D
It will get better in 1 month ( I hope)

Generally I am almost smart enough to figure out when people are just messing around, I do it too. It seems though that lately some of the guys on here take it to another level. Purposefully getting threads locked and just being all around assholes. There were some threads I would have liked to see continue but they end up getting locked just because someone wants to be an ass. It just seems uncalled for. The flounders came through for us and gave us a great place to hang out when TOB went belly up but there always needs to be that guy to make the beast with two backs it up.

No Hurt feelings on my end. :)

Easy now...some people might get offended by using religion in this forum as much or more than people talking politics.. ;D [laugh]
My point, if someone has the urge to cry about something have them consult their momi...otherwise act like a grown up person...life is rough

I've noticed it too. Seems to be a combination of things;
Weather
Economy
lack of politics forum
Hope it gets better soon.

nothing stopping you from creating a forum for it. tried it here. didn't work. lots of work for us due to people not being able to control their typing. We don't like work. We like riding. motorcycle forum after all.
someone could buy a domain name dmfpolitics.org we'll even provide free space for the link.
[beer]
and once again, it's never about
offending anyone...it's about being assholes in a private setting in contradiction with what the folks who set up the place have requested.
happens every winter on every forum involving warm weather activities.
never seen a thread debating it help much either, but there's allways a first.

Thanks for the offer...but I have a fulltime job and like you would want to spend my spare time
riding. I just think that people need a place where they can express their thoughts about what will
make this a better country versus letting the government tell us what to do.
I realize that keeping people in line would be a full time job in itself but getting everyone
to think about what's going on in this country might be worth it.
I think this thread has run its course so I'm gonna lock it.
