The Crap Just Won't Go Away.....

[Pappy]

Last time I checked, which was about ten minutes ago, I did in fact have said component!

:bleh:

 

[Windjammer]

What I find so interesting about Tex is that his apparent major point was that the name calling and personal attacks heaped on Marc (mostly by a few individuals) were inappropriate...and yet he exhibits exactly those behaviors in his posts on this topic! The dude says it's wrong to lose your cool and call names, then he goes and does it!

If you want to make a valid point, then you ought to at least practice what you speak of in principle - how else can anyone take your point of view seriously?

 

[Ignacio]

I owe a response to TXFJR, but seeing that he's in timeout I'll withhold a response until or if he comes back. I'd like to respond in a civil manner....

------

Meanwhile back to the reguarly scheduled program...or more precisely what's going on over at the other board. It's pretty quite over there. I think I heard crickets.

Mr. Neuman currently has the last posting in "The New Board" thread of the Off Topic forum. Probably eases his pain as self-imaged benevolent dictator. I, of course, could put a link, but since some of our brethren are banned here I thought I'd give the radio play-by-play. You'll just have to PM me to ask my reasons.....LOL

Some of the remaining traffic is from newbies that haven't quite yet figured out a schism happened and they are in a really big, empty, echoey house. I figure they'll run across the other obvious references to this board and figure it out though.

A few folks with moderate amounts of posts are still around offering advice and I think they mostly have dual citizenship. Good on them for being shepards.

Probably a few folks like myself tend to lurk and will probably speak up if there's something worthwhile...assuming we don't cross over the censor line with Neuman. One never knows in the DMZ of eZLand.

They do have a nifty icon we don't have over here. Maybe you all miss it?

But, it doesn't seem like there's been any money added to it recently......go figure.

TXFJR just re-registered as "Banned Member" and continued his immature childish attacks, and taunted me to ban him.

He therefore has the dubious honor of being the first member to be banned here. Congratulations, TXFJR.

WTF does this have to do with FJR specific discussions????

The Ghey thread in the sportbike room was moved quite quickly, yet this smouldering turd still lingers here...

The freedom of selective admin reigns supreme

 

[Warchild]

WTF does this have to do with FJR specific discussions????

Well.... let's see now.....

Let's examine the description of the stated purpose of this particular forum to see if this thread topic meet the criteria for posting, shall we?

According to the description that can be found under each forum listing, the purpose of the "FJR-specific Discussions" is: "General Chat about the FJR1300 or the FJR Community"

Did ya catch that last part?...."General Chat about the FJR1300 or the FJR Community"

There you go....

 

[BlueHammer]

good 'nuff.

BUT. In this particular section, it is listed above as FJRForum -> General Motorcycle Forums -> FJR-specific discussions...

This is not a FJR-specific discussion.

You had a blurb about your R1 in here (AWESOME bike BTW) and after a bit you moved it out of here. But this thread, which has little to do with the FJR itself, remains in here.

'dat's alls I'm sayin, put the socks in the sock drawer man!

Lets not confuse him with STexFJR please.

 

[radman]

What on earth was stated in that email to pappy that could not have been posted weeks ago in any one of the banned topics on That Other Forum II ?

 

[twowheelnut]

He thinks he's in a dicey situation with his non compete claus, which he's not. Looks like he's into intrique and drama... as you have already figured out.

 

[Warchild]

But this thread, which has little to do with the FJR itself, remains in here.

It has everything to do with the FJR community, which, as noted above, is also the stated purpose of this particular forum. Therefore, this thread will remain here. This shouldn't be hard to grasp.

[BlueHammer]

Ok. Point taken. Discussing EZboard, it's deficiencies, and the banning of it's members is an FJR-specific discussion. It has been grasped. Loosely.

I haven't piped in on this discussion until now, and consider myself a full time member here. I proudly admit that I am one of those "folks" mentioned by Ignacio that still lurks over there, just to make sure I'm getting the full diet of FJR information. Some newbie even had the balls to chastise me for posting a link to the FJR Owners board because people were getting banned (like I didn't know that already fer Christ sake!). I've found that by responding to folks over there that obviously need the help of the 'experts' here with an email and send them over here in a PM is one wat to wean them from EZB without incurring the BAN. Clearly it is their loss and to their detriment, and yes, I also see cobwebs beginning to gather at EZB.

 

[Ignacio]

Careful dude! That kind of statement here might get you banned over there. Chances are pretty fair that ezOp keeps an eye on this thread too. It's hard to predict his Paxil saturation levels.

I think the sheep will grow up and figure it out when they get lonely. They'll Google their way to enlightenment, ask the question directly, or stumble across an undiscovered link to this board.

 

[radman]

There are some subtle avenues of discovery over there, one in the classifieds comes to mind.....

 

[lawinter]

Although I was a relatively new poster on the other board ( and relatively new FJR owner) when I joined I was able to reconize who the movers and shakers so to speak were. There were folks who knew the FJR handsdown and could offer up technical and general help for me a FNG.

There were also those who just made me laugh with their sense of humor and total irreverance to anything. I was happy to find a community to belong to.

Trolls, oil threads,130mph in posted 30's were all responded to in each persons own unique style and wit.

That was great fun to me.

The folks who made that board a great place to spend time( and you all know who you are) are now here.

Then my FJR was clean. Now it's not.

This is where I spend my time.

Thanks to all who make it where my-self and many others want to be.

Got to stop now before I get all sentimental and start tearing up

 

[FJRJeff]

I'm another transplanted lurker. I've had my FJR for about 2 years, and EZ was a fantastic resource for me (and fun reading!). I was going to pop my FJRForum cherry and make my first post a response to TX, but I can't now. :bye:

I bailed on EZ without saying a word. Marc's attitude spoke volumes. He insulted me without ever directly addressing me, and therefore doesn't deserve any respect or attention out of me. His comments displayed an utter lack of any respect for those people visiting his forum.

"I've got three purple hearts!"

"I've been in IT for 10 years!" :russian:

This is clearly a superior platform.

And if you're here, who has the '05 in Gresham, OR? I keep seeing you around town, but only when I'm in the cage.

For those interested in the forum Soap Opera, but cannot peep into the un-EZ forum, here is my reply to TXFJR:

TXFJR, dude, you were doing what is commonly known as disorderly conduct. If anyone comes to my house, and starts calling me (or my family) names, is going to find me pulling my foot out of his ass when I push him out the door. You had your warning and you blew it, so WC kicked you out. I am sure that you will run the same fate here if you misbehave in that manner against Marc.
Don't get things mixed up. What Marc did is completely different from what WC did. Marc (on his own right) threw a temper tantrum and banned people that mentioned the other forum (period). Mentioning the "unmentionable" forum is not even close or equivalent to insulting, or calling names. And although it is Marc’s right to ban whomever he wants (heck, he could ban everyone but himself if he wants), it was not the civilized thing to do. That antisocial behavior caused most of the old time members to go away searching for greener pastures.

Oh well, I am on both forums and am able to sleep at night, no sense on bringing up animosities or calling people names. Nothing good will come of it. Besides, everyone has the right to his own paranoia; leave it alone and to ride into the sunset.

 

[CheapFZR]

This has got to stop!!!! I can't get anything done around here. Hell!!! I need to go riding but what would I miss!!! Would the latest be old news when I get back?? What to do!!! What to do!!
