Nice to have "Today's Posts" not littered with viral email jokes... - Page 5

I want to add this...when I was a moderator here (before I fell out of favor by coming out as a Harley owner, for you new guys). I used to receive PM mail from members who were appalled by the offensive nature of some of the posts here. While I personally agreed with them, there wasn't much I could do about it. I am a firm supporter of free speech. That said, there's a time and place for offensive comments and a public forum is neither. Some of the "humor" here might have been more appropriate at a KKK meeting.

No longer is the forum a place where 5 or 6 guys hang out and shoot the breeze, it's a legitimate source of information on Kawasaki cruisers/tourers and has caught the eye of the manufacturer and several vendors. Please keep that in mind.

If we lose advertisers due to the nature of the posting. This will not be a free site anymore.

I agree 100%. I was also amazed that he got away with it for so long.

You used the phrase "coming out". Something you're not sharing with us? Coincidence that you used that phrase along with "Harley" in the same sentence? Hmmm???

From racists to homophobic?

Monkeyman · 03-02-2012, 08:00 AM

So you think it's funny that you're "coming out"? Did you wear a red rubber clown nose when you let everyone know?

Loafer · 03-02-2012, 08:10 AM

For a much as he's drinking he doesn't need a red clown nose.

blowndodge · 03-02-2012, 11:48 AM
