He was thinking about pressing that issue, but I think that the Sunday date reverted to her original plan, which was for her to inform him, "I care for you so much that I think that we should slow down and take a step back to just dating... so that I can **** other people." To which he was to reply, "we can step back, but if you want to **** other people, I'm out the door right now, woman!" Presumably, his line in the sand was met with the blank stare of the unimpressed, so he granted her another week to **** other people and really decide if she liked ****ing other people. I think that this is where we're at right now.

everyone is entitled to their opinion. We try to allow people to express their opinions, but certain topics get really heated and then people go away and don't come back. That's why they are segregated into their own forum. Strangely, helmets is one subject that is strictly limited. The stuff that was removed from this thread belongs in the Politics and Religion forum. It's a balancing act between letting people say what they want in any way they want and keeping people that, strangely enough, just want to talk about bikes on a bike forum. I am one of those people that doesn't want to mix politics with fun, it really ruins a conversation when someone brings up politics. really hard to be consistent without being dictatorial. And not only that, but it's a lot of work on an unpaid volunteer job. If you want us to be consistent, then you can report the occasional political post to help us out. The reason we care about this discussion is that there were tears on the playground
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=289254 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=289256 to all the moderators - I know how time-consuming it must be. I agree, there shouldn't have been any tears on the playground - keep the conversation civil and know when to move along to another subject. I don't believe in beating a dead horse. |

I'll admit, my calculations to allow a bit of freedom amongst the regulars in this thread only during normal times, bit me in the ass. Even in the best of conditions, however, I'm convinced the gravity of the Newton tragedy rendered it almost impossible to NOT talk about. And of course discussing topics involving strongly held beliefs is bound to get out of hand, and so it did.Moderating is a balancing act, derived from the term 'moderate'. I tried to do that with this thread so as not to promote a stifling atmosphere. I'm convinced it works in here most of the time. But I'm always ready to put a cap on things should outsiders or non-regulars be drawn in, which is the reason I went to a simple thread-naming naming convention, to not attract outsiders (non-regulars).The Newton tragedy was so egregious as to become the exception to the norm. I admit I should have squashed it early on, but hindsight is always 20-20. Let's hope we all learned from the experience of a bad day, and may all hurt feelings smooth over with time.Peace.Now, I gotta run outta here . . . be back later.

I agree, there shouldn't have been any tears on the playground - keep the conversation civil and know when to move along to another subject. I don't believe in beating a dead horse. The truth is that this thread is pretty much used as the foo of the road forum. It's a place for us all to talk and joke around, even give each other a hard time. It is not a place for politics and religion even though from time to time those things do take place. During the election it was very hard to keep it out of this thread but I think the mods did a good job at keeping it civil (I wasn't an active mod at the time so I can't take any credit). We all need to try to not take things too far in this thread, joking is fine but if we push it a little too far we need to be able to step back, apologize, and move on. I really enjoy this thread and don't want to have to go to foo to have one like it. As roadies we all have something in common and it's nice to have a place to talk to each other about our lives, no matter how screwed up they may be (Solo). |

Crazy chicks are pretty much the looser ones in my experience, so when we straight guys were younger, they appealed to us because hey, it is someone giving me permission to have sex with them. Right on. Now approaching 50, I find the hot ones are [like] the CEO of Cinnabon, or the one back home who used to be a wallflower, takes care of herself and will retire before me with a hefty retirement package and a sprawling ranch. Crazy chicks in my demographic are typically the ones who never stopped partying, can't get through the week without causing some sort of personal upheaval to justify their existence, and in general, are trying to hang onto 29 a little too long. Not saying this is you TS, but my generalization is what happens to the ones you accurately described once they get older. |
