"Sooo, in my opinion, it was better not to walk into a room full of cops & call them all crooks, rapists and thieves, and not expect to get your ass kicked."
So you're saying cops have no self control and they will do this under the color of authority? No wonder cops don't like video cameras. Looking more and more what Mac says about cops is true. Whip my ass then give me my cash. That's my new motto. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Ok walk into a truck stop, & call all truckers rapists thieves & murderers, and then see if you don't get your ass kicked in there. Same thing?
Walk into a hospital and call all nurses rapist thieves and murderers, and they WILL take your $$$, THEN kick yer' ass... And if you are a retired driver, you know better than most, ALOTTA truckdrivers SUCK, but not all. True? I'm just sayin

Don't think those analogies are quite working but I get the point you wish you could make. Something about authority and banding together rubs people the wrong way.

I've stayed with Bill and his lovely wife. They opened up their home to me and let me stay in their guest room along with giving me a beautiful tour of their great state. They are the kindest of people. I'd seriously be sad if Bill decided to stop participating on the forum.
That being said, I don't see why being asked not to post negatively about any group of people, whether it's LEOs, school teachers, a particular race, a particular religious group, etc. would cause someone to leave the forum. The goal of this forum is to discuss Vulcan Baggers in a safe, supportive environment. It's clear in the forum rules that we are to treat all members with respect. That fact that Bill feels like he's essentially been banned from the forum because he was asked to tone down his LEO posts is really unfortunate.

For fear of bringing on the ban stick I will not post what I think of Mac's personal views especially as it pertains to LEOs.
That being said I voted for him to stay since to ban him or for him to not be able to post or him leaving leaves us with less of a knowledge base to use. Do I wish he could keep his opinions to himself, absolutely, but as long as they are posted in off-topic he has the same rights as anyone else to post his opinion, if it bleeds over into a different forum it should be dealt with accordingly. |

I'm not going to make a big comment on the Mac vs. po-po thing. Everyone has issues with some group, whether you admit them or not. As for Mac himself, he was one of the 1st people (along with Yellow Jacket, HwyRider, Dave Hollinger, Vulcan E, DShelley, etc. that welcomed me to the forum and spent a good amount of time helping me to get mechanically familiar with my Nomad. Mac was patient enough to send me pictures, and to fully explain a lot of "how-to's." When I have an issue, he's the first person that I ask. If he doesn't know, then I'll ask the forum. He doesn't just have bike experience, you can ask him anything about small or large engines and he probably has experienced it before. He has never refused to help me, even with lawn mower and pressure washer questions. It may take him a while to respond, especially lately since he's had personal issues going on, but he's ALWAYS responded and offered his advice. I would truly hate to see him go. If I read a post that I disagree with (and there have been some), I ignore it. There's enough members on here that feel like they have to publicly disagree with MAC or anyone/everyone else. I'm not one. I take the good and leave the bad. I haven't been on this forum for that long, but there are a dozen or so people that I really trust mechanically. Mac and Yellow Jacket top that list. I'm sure someone disagrees with me. Great.
