Hi everyone!!

The following is my heartfelt response to this thread. This is coming from me as Siu, not me as a mod right now.

Just sayin'...in regards to this http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...9&postcount=26 The way I see it, Brian was saying IF SoCal gets closed, then the threads would remain open for those to see because it will answer the questions as to why it would be closed.

I think that would be fair, right? I mean. To just shut it down and make it disappear would leave a lot of people with a questions pending.

SoCal has proven to be a wonderful place for those to organize rides, meet and form really cool friendships. And it sucks when there is friction between people and all the negativity comes into it. People get torn, feelings are hurt and it's just not a very nice place to visit. I know that not everyone can get along but when it gets really bad to where the regular members choose to leave, then a lot of people get to wondering why.

Sometimes a bit of a break from it all could prove good for the well being of everyone. I'm not saying this is going to be shut down - I honestly don't know that. But the people here are what makes this forum along with the moderation staff. And I believe that everyone here wants to keep it open. And keep it friendly and fun, don't you agree?

You guys know that I hardly come here. But there are a few of you who I know and chat with a bit. And those people that know me a bit are really fun and I enjoy talking to you. I just hate it when there is friction.

We have to remember that not all of us will agree or get along because of our differing views on things. And if we allow each other that, then harmony will never cease.
