Dabz if you check on site before you come home from Tenerife, ffs lock down some threads and/or pm some ppl to play nicely together!
This was a reasonable site, not amazingly fast moving but seemed nice & friendly apart from some bitching a while back. But it now appears – naming no names – that there a couple of people who seem to take personal exception to any comment the other one makes. They pick fault and hurl insults at each other, write extremely lengthy posts attempting to rubbish each others points and generally bore the f*ck out of me (and presumably the rest of you?) with their posturing. As time goes on it appears that more threads are getting polluted with this same treatment and the number of posts by others appear to be dwindling apart from the odd plea for world peace or to get back to the thread topic. I notice Graeme tried to ease things and just managed to get sucked in for a bit of a kicking too.
OK, yea, yea, they are both obviously highly skilled motorcyclists/bikers with a wealth of riding and mechanical experience and differing viewpoints that could be passed on to fellow bikers via some really interesting and informed debates on any forum. I am all for informed and interesting discussion, even controversial posts/discussions are interesting, it’s just the lengthy sniping and personal attacks on each other coupled with blowing their own trumpets about how great they are! If you want to get personal take it to PM's!
I don’t know about the rest of you but I just wander between reading these posts to have a laugh and to see how one rubbishes or tries to cap the other ones points or just trying to ignore them altogether!
Now I know I am a newbie and I suspect both of them will probably attack me for this post, what do I know about biking/crashing/not crashing blah blah blah. Or both will post that it was not their fault – they were cruelly provoked by the other one and was only trying to make their point defend themselves etc.…
But how do the rest of you feel about this ongoing bickering? Do you want it to continue? Or shut the f*ck up? Shall we have a vote? I will leave you to guess which way I voted!
