Things got a bit heated last night, so we are taking a day (or 2) off.  It will be back. 

Besides, nothing good could come out of an argument on election day.

Seems like an overreaction, to a comment which was a HUGE overreaction to a perceived insult IMO. Lame.

On the whole we had been very civil over there. Sucks that one comment got the WHOLE thing locked.

How do you guys think being insulting about it will work?

[ZLTFUL]

The point was that it was locked because a personal attack was launched. Everyone knows that once one is thrown, things de-escalate rather rapidly. I have to say that I concur completely with Nate on his decision.

Ah thanks for the link, I saw that thread earlier and might have actually read it had it been less obtusely titled.  Guess I missed out on the recent drama. 

All in all it's positively civil compared to the feces-flinging that goes on at some other moto boards.

Not well I would suspect, but I don't see any insults from anyone.  

The brainfart comment is asking if it was just a mistake...and my overreaction comment isn't an insult, or surely isn't meant to be one if it sounds like it. It's just an observation. Locking the whole board for one comment just seemed excessive is all.

No insult to DP intended in the least.

It'll all be back to normal soon enough. 

Thanks, guys.

There is a bit of a brown spot on your nose.

the only forms of sucking up we take seriously are cash and tequila (vodka for DP).

[KnightofNi]

is the politics board being locked because VS wants' to buy the DMF also?

I, for one, am insulted...

[motogpfan]

It would appear that you, for one, were part of the problem.

That said, I wonder at the thinking process that believes that the proper reaction to an overreaction is a bigger overreaction. ie; you over reacted to a statement in a forum, so we're gonna close the whole forum.


Seems a bit excessive.
