Flipped a switch? I cracked wise (and even the following post saw it for what it was intended). It was clearly a joke.

FWIW, KJ, I'm glad you started the thread.
YOU're not the self-appointed arbiter to whom I referred

I'd like to be a self appointed arbiter, but I've concluded no one really gives a shit about what I think. It's kinda hurtful really!!
Ohhhhhhhh, wait.....That's the reason I would be 'self appointed.' Now I get it. Some of you guys are in trouble!!

Can't believe it has been a week since I was on this forum. I just read through all this and am left with one question for KJ. Where is the "Not just NO, but **** NO!" button?
Just kidding. I hope it all gets sorts out. Even if it doesn't I will still get to see the boxers and riding boots again I am sure.

Since there are no emoticons suggesting a joke....you know not what you talk about on these three points at the very least.
This remains between 0Face and admins. Communication lines have been and remain open with the ball in his court. It remains his choice whether he wants to participate in this forum and contribute to the primary goal....which is about FJRs. I'd like to have him back.
Thread starters and bandwagon jumpers aren't part of it.
As always, if people really think this forum sucks...stop coming. It is that simple. But, as long as I'm involved it will remain a forum to discuss the Yamaha FJR1300 and the issues surrounding the FJR1300 community and the simple list of rules that support it.

I have been on this forum since getting my FJR in 07. Glad it's here. I have made many friends on this forum, and while I can't always agree with the way some things are handled, I try to abide by the rules. I know Marty, and feel that he has been a positive contributor to this forum. I also hope that this can all be resolved, and we can all get back to the reason this forum was started. We all have the same thing in common, and that is the FJR.

I would hate to be accused of sitting back on the fence but...
I appreciate the fact that 3 of our Admins have chimed in on this thread. They could have just pretended to ignore it and let it run its course.
Ignacio has repeated for us all, OFace must deal with The Management directly. That puts the ball directly in his court. Ignacio has indicated that OFace has a decent opportunity. That is all any of you/us could ask for.
I understand there are frustrations and there is a great deal of built up animosity but I am not sure that we need to air all this out in this thread. I see no advantage to antagonizing any of the Admins any further. I would think that would only make it more difficult for OFace to plead his case.
I just got off my motorcycle and I would much prefer reading and typing about motorcycles in general than continuing to suffer through this thread.

Are you walking on eggshells with the mods or something?
It always seems like you are sticking up for them and making it like "oh, no we don't want to bother Big Brother, they've already had enough!" and "their job is tough enough".
Well, I own and run Forums myself. I hear the grief and problems etc. and have to be the judge and jury when it's all said and done, It's part of the job and I'm sure a thread like this doesn't bother them. It's an open Forum with open discussion. I for one, won't be a Forum pussy or kiss ass to anyone, but I do hold respect towards the one's who have this job (here and the other 8 Forums I participate in almost daily).
Maybe I'm the only one thinking this way, it wouldn't be the first time
You're NOT the only one, T-Speed.
If you're checking the tire pressure on you FJR, it's cool to be on your knees.
Otherwise, …get the f*ck up.

No he's not. None of this is solicited from him. His POV is his own.
OM's suggestion that RFH is on his knees to the admins is offensive IMO.

No need to get in a huff anybody, and, I'm sorry I got sum dander up amongst us natives. No direct offense to RFH either, it just always seems to be his response to everything forum/control subject(able). So, I was jus wondering if I was the only one who saw it that way? No biggie.
So is Marty free balling yet?

Ah yes, let the attacks begin.
1. The forum is free and is a wonderful source of information and entertainment. I have improved my Dad's FJR to the point that he can comfortably and safely ride it anywhere I decide we should go and I did it all with information gathered on this forum. Whom do I thank for that? The General Membership certainly but the Admins make this possible. K.J. I don't recall one single piece of useful technical advice from you ever. So, thanks for the entertainment.
2. There are many folks on this forum whom I would be willing to travel across the country to meet, based on what they type here. The Admins with the exception of SkooterG are not friendly. They never join in those threads that are the most fun and entertaining. The only time we seem to hear anything from them is when they are spanking one of us. I have not ever had any desire to meet the Admins because they always seem so unpleasant, based again on what they type here.
3. In the thread where OFace got himself banned, Ignacio made it very clear that they were working late into the night on fixing and improving. He repeatedly explained that work was being done at great personal sacrifice of time and energy. Somehow that got overlooked with so many folks complaining, maybe because he never cried or whined about the work he was doing!
4. In case you geniuses have not figured this out, you can vote on as many polls as you like, you can start as many threads as you want, you can bash the Admins as much as you want and You Will Not Get OFace Reinstated! You can keep hitting the "Like" button and giving each other the Internet equivalent of a high five and you still have accomplished nothing. NOTHING! Do you really think Ignacio and Bounce give a crap about the tiny little group of complainers in this thread? Have you not noticed that as huge as this forum's membership is, only a very few of us have chimed in on this? OFace has to take this responsibility on himself. Get worked up if you want, he did this to himself, he has to fix it himself. I repeat that bashing the Admins only poisons the waters. Bashing these guys may make you feel better but it is NOT helping OFace. Unless it is just the enjoyment of bashing and complaining you want.
5. I do not enjoy the heavy handed attitude the Admins have displayed at various times in the past. I sure don't enjoy not being told what I can and can't post. However, I have seen that without Adult Supervision this place dissolves into chaos. I have little fear of being "banned" so no, I am not walking on eggshells. I have no reason to "be on my knees". I don't owe any of you anything and I sure don't benefit from kissing up to the Admins. I can walk away from this forum at any time Unlike those of you crybabies that brag about doing it but then feel too lonely and want back in.
6. Stop telling each other how brave and tough you all are and ask yourselves what good you did here. Then, if you are smart enough, try to decide who did the most good for OFace. You or me? Oh, and even though you did not say it yet, You are welcome.

'fish, I can't "Like" your post because I don't completely agree with everything you said.
I agree 100% with your Point #1.
I don't agree with your Point #2, as I have had many PM interactions with Ignacio and found him to be completely understanding, friendly and agreeable. Bounce was on my ass for about my first 3 or 4 years here, so I'm not as willing to admit that he's actually a cuddly little teddy bear. SkooterG? What can you say? And Galaxyblue keeps such a low profile, I doubt many even realize he's an admin.
100% agreement with your Points #3 & #4, but we're 180 degrees off on #5.
And Point # 6? Well, it's actually pretty pointless.
