Are YOU tired of political threads yet?

[slapnpop]

After several complaints and some behind-the-scenes discussion, we're going to put an end to these political threads.

I'm not trying to stifle anyone's opinion, it's just a waste here. There are an almost infinate number of places online to argue about this until your heart is content. The bandwidth usage on these threads has been as much as 10% of our traffic in the past couple weeks.

If there is a valid motorcycle-specific reason to talk about politics, such as new restrictions, laws, or regulations, that's fine. Pointless rambling about which political party is right, wrong, or pure evil isn't.

Questions? Comments? Fine!

If you really want to argue about it, use the chatroom @ www.fjrforum.com/chat/, or better yet, google a political forum and take it there.

The Forum Guidlines have been updated to reflect this.

Now quit bickering and go ride!

I'll second that.

Well said, and 'nuff said.

Buzzkiller!

It was really entertaining watching these guys bang their heads into the wall and try to screw eachother into the ceiling. Oh well.....waiting out the winter........ :cold:

TFFT. I was beginning to think that this site was about to be overrun with this non motorcycle horse manure topic of discussion.

Now lets get back to the subject of 2 wheels! B)

Oh, and two points for working in, 'divisive'. Snigger

 

[Rogue]

Oh great,

Now I'll have to go to the "Jokes" forum to get my laughs! :huh:

 

[Bike Effects]

Thanks! There is no one here going to change anyone elses political viewpoint. We have a common interest here in the FJR. We don't have common political interests.

 

[Toecutter]

We have a common interest here in the FJR.

Except for the blue ones...

 

[C&C]

Yep, when two sides yell at each other and neither side listens to the other, it's not a debate, it's an argument. Thanks for the intervention.

First we find out the neoconservatives running the nation are monitoring our emails & phones lines illegally,,,,now they've turned to eliminating forum discussions where people's point of view, other than their own, are being presented....

Think I will go ride....

 

[JimLor]

Ya can't win for losing Slap!

I always thought the purpose of a Website Forum was to attract as many people as you can to the site...........thus generate revenue from advertisers based on hits...

I guess these guys have a different agenda.....

This is Slapnpop's house, so he makes the rules.

..and a good new rule he made.
