Not exactly a rant, more of a statement on the VRCC

[Willow]

The Alien has made some very good points.  I too would prefer the handful of people who find it necessary to continually spew their political venom would cut back or shut down.  They are doing repeated damage to the community and their ability to find and retain friends here over the internet.  There was a time when I suggested we take a break from political posts and things went well until another staff member suggested that it would be just fine for people to post whatever they wished.  Back to the trash.

I have more recently began to interpret demeaning pet names for groups that include a number of VRCC members as generally disrespectful and thus in violation of the Rules of the Road.  When I see such posts they are removed along with any that bother to quote them.  We're still seeing a lot more complaining on the board than we are getting "Report to moderator" responses.  If you see something that violates the Rules of the Road click on that tab in the lower right.  It goes to all the staff.  Read over the Rules of the Road to familiarize yourself with what is forbidden.

Unfortunately the Alien's post takes on the tone of "My feelings are hurt because someone has done to me exactly what I have done to them."

Yep.  As long as that piece of garbage is still kidnapping children, I'm still going to hate him and the people who support him.  This is not America anymore.  

That post was made just eight days before the post on what's wrong with the VRCC.

Any piece of crap that refers to the duly elected President of the United States as a piece of garbage has lost any respect I might have had for his or her viewpoint.  Such a reference is an attack on the American system of government and the people of this great country.  I lost respect for the views of some during the past Executive administration and it continues, whether they voted the same as I or not.  

My suggestion would be that if one wants to school the few poisonous participants of the board he should first participate for awhile setting a good example and then have something to point to to be taken seriously.

I do think we have an issue to address but I don't believe that limiting the subject matters allowed on the General Board is necessarily the answer.  One thing that might help is for a few of us to grow up and learn to deal with others respectfully.  That is true of both sides of the arguments.  

Let each of us take on the intention of being one of the good guys instead of justifying our bad behavior by examples of others' bad behavior.

in other words,  take ye olde high road ?  Show respect if you want it

Post more ride reports and Valkyrie related activities and think of the impact of one's words?

Maybe it is just me but the board is trending in that direction since inzane

JUST PLAIN WOW!!!

What is wrong with you people?  Pretty soon the posts about hating political posts will outnumber the political posts themselves.

And you guys fall for this NONSENSE every time.  Seems once a month, like freakin' menses, someone feels the need to bitch about other people having a conversation.  That's all these posts are, conversation. 

You don't like my conversation, don't join in.  You don't like me, don't join in.  But what is it about a person who bitches about others having a conversation? 

Also, not ALL clubs are for ALL people and sometimes groups do morph over time, but that's what the free market/speech brought out.  There are hundreds of thousands of clubs.  Find one that suites your needs and leave everyone else alone.

Not directly specifically to the OPer, but also to all of the silly people that need to comment and disparage others for having conversation.

Bye!

All I know is I don't want my hard earned dues money going to support post of people I don't like or agree with.  (sorry, I couldn't resist)

I had to think about the meaning of that word for half a second, but I was pretty sure it had nothing to do with MENSA.  I hope this thread tapers off similarly.

Kali was hanging out with her (female) friends, went to the bathroom, came back and told them the following:

"Japan is attacking. I need reinforcements."

Suddenly they all went to the bathroom together.

I asked her later what that was about, she just showed me a picture of the Japanese flag and gave me "That Look"...



I asked no further questions.

Good thing you told story that now, instead of before Inzane.

The last time the wife was having an exceptionally rough one, I headed out to the drug store to get her some more stuff. Wouldn't you know it, the 20-ish Y.O. bombshell employee comes over to ask if I need help. Yes, ma'am, I would. After she helped me, she actually said that she was impressed that I'd do that for my wife. I told her that when she finds the right one, they'd walk through fire for her. Believe it or not, I made her blush

I don't think I have ever overheard the comment, Japan is attacking, at least now I'll know what's going on and keep my mouth shut. One more reason to participate in a non political post about political posts.

Serk, the story is unclear.  Did she show you the national flag or the Battle Flag of Japan?

The national flag of Japan:



Although I fear if she hadn't had friends on hand ready to provide her with the necessary items to shore up her defenses, it might have progressed to the Battle Flag...

Ok, this is getting out of hand. Can we get back to talking about Obama and Trump ? 

[Robert]

I have never been one to use the back door but have seen a few battle flags of Japan in my younger days.
