I do not believe that bad or reckless behavior on the part of one, justifies it on the part of the other...I think the "he hit me back first" mind set should have gone away with training pants. I agree that many drivers today do not drive a car, they aim the thing.
One thing we do have in common, though we may phrase it differently, is that when push comes to shove, I put my safety above traffic laws, be that on my bike, my motorcycle or in my truck.
High maintenance is a phrase that the moderators use to describe a forum member whose posts, or style of posting, or personality causes him to post in such a fashion that moderating his posts takes up a much higher percentage of time than a poster should. It seems that there are a few folks in the world whose method of doing things seems to constantly stir up problems on the internet forums...for some reason their threads create more insults, more off topic wonderings, in general more forum rule violations than others. Either they are buttheads or they are butthead magnets....either way, they become a maintenance problem, high maintenance. We try to look at as much of the forum daily as we can, and between all of the mods, most of the forum is checked everyday... we do occasionally miss something...and over time almost all posters will have a thread or two go sideways...most of the time, one edit, or deletion and a PM telling them what was done and why solves the problem...not high maintenance... but when that becomes a habit.. I have a feeling that your views are going to stir up some emotional responses...spark some heated conversation...and have a potential for becoming high maintenance...you may occasionally feel ganged up on...oh, and do not be too shocked if you have a couple supporters too... but they have likely been down that road and may not want to approach the issue again... we will just see how it goes...have a good time on here, and try to help others have a good time too...I personally support your right to your opinion on these issue, but in all honesty, if I lived where you live, I likely would not ride with you.
