Public Apology

blowndodge · 02-19-2013, 12:46 PM

It's been brought to my attention that my insults have caused a lot of harm to some of you. Lately I've been getting PM's over my inappropriate off handed comments and then posting

the laughing man.

I will bow out of the conversations... I always thought like Trip said that were were just a bunch of buddies hanging out together but I can see some of you might be wearing glass slippers.

You can continue to send off comment insults on my nicely ironed shirts as I still wear the size 13 men shoes.

Thanks for your attention in this matter

Lighten up francis. I like you the way you are.

Brad, is this a joke? I hope so, but it doesn't sound that way. If not, then sounds like a bunch of the rest of the members need to grow up and learn to take a little good natured teasing. So Brad occasionally busts someone's chops? Doesn't look to me like anyone here does it in malice. Chuckle, shoot back if you want, and get on with life. It would be a pretty dull forum without that!

I surely hope this is a joke.

This forum would be a lot less entertaining with out the token jerk.

How does anyone take anything you say seriously?

**glwilson** · 02-19-2013, 01:14 PM

What the heck is this all about?

I am going to assume it is setup to a "got-cha" ploy... But if not... Well then... We will need to talk...

Todd · 02-19-2013, 01:16 PM

ahhh, where have the good ole' days gone?

**Top Cat** · 02-19-2013, 01:30 PM

You gotta be shittin me

This is some bullshit post by Brad to stir up a boring week on this forum.

But, If your gettin Pm's from overly sensitive members tell them to kiss your ass.
You are who you are. If they can't handle the ball bustin then they should turn the other cheek like I did with ..............

Just keep being you and if they go to Trip then post their names on here and we will harass them till they leave.

I mean I'm one of the most sensitive guys on here and if I can handle the ball bustin anyone should be able to.

I was offended by BD slamming my Harley with comments about his Victory while in a Kawasaki site! How dare him!

Seriously though... Sometimes posts can be perceived differently than they were intended.

If I recall (and I do), there is a rule about NOT taking posts too seriously.

Once in a while, the shenanigans can come across to some as being vicious, or ill-intended. If that happened then the "offended" should "toughen-up", and accept the apology and get over it. Just my two cents.

audiogooroo · 02-19-2013, 01:53 PM

Once again...

I, too, hope this is a joke. Because today I've about had a belly full certain people who never had a good a$$-whipping, and it's probably sorely needed.

I just wrote it off as aggressive rationalization on his part when he realized he had just spent a small fortune on a bike that looks like it was designed during a cubist's nightmare.

All of us become happy assholes when we get a new bike. It's par for the course. BD got a nice bike and I am happy for him. In time, you'll hear the flip-side. Honestly, I like it better than all the talk of ironing.
