There is a blatant double standard on this board

[svoloch]

You're all just a bunch of stoopid doody-heads!!!   

Seriously though, I do want to share something on this subject.

There was a get-together last year that was disussed beforehand here on the DFW/DMF (the meet at the Adolphus Hotel's Rodeo Bar).  One individual was, to put it plain, pissing me off with his comments.  They weren't directed at me or anyone in particular, and I didn't know this individual.  For the most part I kept my "pissedoffness" to myself.

Then came the event and I met the person (who will remain un-named here).

What a great guy.  His way with spoken words just didn't translate well to the written form, and I misinterpreted him all along.

The lesson for moi?  Lighten up Francis!

Post Script:
Anyone here calls me Francis, and I'll kill ya!   

Damn, Norris, I said I was sorry, do you have to keep bringing that up?

Well, as a newer "old board" person, a blatant smack talker, thread jacker, and recipient of several TOB Moderator Swanny "talks" ( I'm working on it, man! ), I can safely say that I am unimpressed with all the drama.   Communities change.  "Ours" changed. 

I can safely say that meeting the old guard on the TOB was transformative for me in terms of my experience of living in Dallas.  I was daily trying to find SOME way to get the hell out of here as soon as possible.  Meeting up with the Ducati crowd at the end of 2006, beginning of 2007 was like getting thrown a life line.  I still look at those folks that way.  Brian, Lisa, Scott, Swanny, Maria, Keith, Andre, Bryant, and many others from that crowd changed my opinion of Dallas, and made this into a livable city for me.  Can't be grateful enough, and I certainly understand some of the frustrations of that crowd with how the community here has changed.  However, communities do that.  They do it all the time, and you can't change that.  Some of those folks have chosen to withdraw from this community, and you can't change that either.  I won't miss them, because I will still see them.  However, I have also seen people here in this community give their left arm to near strangers to help them out.  It is a welcoming community.  There is some drama, and things can go a bit Jerry Springer at times, but again, sh!t happens. 

So, like it or not, The Svoloch is sticking around.

My recommendation is to learn the lesson at the holidays that our families have been teaching us since we were little:  Drink too much and pretend nothing is going on...  Oh, yeah, and don't sit on Uncle Scott's lap if his breath smells funny 

[svoloch]

Oh yeah, and a westie takeover?  Dream on Posers, where the Svoloch is, that is where the magic happens

Nice Pink Floyd reference... oh yeah, nice post too.

 [moto] I've been trying to think of something that would add to this thread and all i can think of is not once, EVER has anyone said to me, " you don't belong here. you don't have a Ducati " !     [moto]

Thanks - that would hurt ! 

Now I've heard " buy a Duc already ", " don't worry you'll get yours " ( i assume Ducati ) 

Best to all - wish I could make Joe T's ( threadjack ) gotta work !
