Holy off topic batman. Talk about bullying your opinion on everyone. Jeez...next time you want to promote your ignorant political views, there's a forum for that. Just PM the mods to get in.

Yup. Somebody did get banned for that pic.

13 pages devoted to not hurting people's feelings on the interweb. Sad, really.

Not exactly, but close.

Someone got a third infraction for that, iirc. Three strikes=seven day vacation.

Many people were certain that the posting did not warrant the punishment.

quick warning guys. In the past 10 minutes I had to delete 4 posts and images due to name calling and curse words. If we want this thread to remain open we need to keep it within the guidelines.

Please close it already..

Gotta love how you guys are dissecting this 1000 ways to try and evade what the OP's original point of exposing a pattern on this board.

The "point" is bogus.

I am not personally offended by anything tossed about here, but like I said, I see a pattern of attitudes amongst Roadies in general. It is silly bull#@# to be honest, but so many are arrogant D-Bags. I think the genesis of these pervasive traits eminates from the obsessive, competitive nature of those attracted to this sport.

Glad to hear the poor little n00bs have a tough guy like you to help them out.

Often "well to do", educated, gear hounds (not unlike the skiing D-Bags) that are as much in love with their gear as they are the sport. So that is why you get such consistency when talking about Newbies and "Freds" blah blah blah. The "I don't wave to nobody" is another example of the A'holeness of so many Roadies.

It always comes back to waving, doesn't it?

Committed to the cause I guess.

Just a note.....We ARE going to treat the "noobs" better then we have. It will be enforced through infractions. There is no reason we can't all give a little respect to the new folks. If you do not want to give them the respect then just ignore them. Not a big deal.

16 pages...

I cannot see why this has gone on this long when it really boils down to a need for all you jocks just taking a little care and attention to be a little nicer to the new members.

You were all newbs once.

And BD - If you keep things up we're gonna have to make you a moderator.

:D

I don't think it has been anything of late but rather... a gradual build up over time and a growing sentiment that enough is enough.

Have you ever notice that very few women post in the road forum or ss/fg ?

Take that as a clear sign that both places tend to be a little inhospitable.
