Loving our bike(s) vs. internet trolls

[the Ferret]

LOl we get one every once in awhile that make thing... um... interesting around here. Still this group is mostly self moderating, friendly, helpful, funny and just a joy to be around both in person (rallies and meet ups) and anonymously on the web. Only 1 legitimate member has been banned here that I recall (no it wasn't chris, believe it or not we have had worse lol) and one person was blocked. We have had to have a private discussion with a few, and we have had a few voluntarily leave BECAUSE of the civility here. Not bad in 3 1/2 years. I credit that to the nature of the bike and the median age of the posters. A more gentlemanly bike for a more gentlemanly crowd, and the fact that it's pretty evident up front what the administrator wanted for of the site and a little enforcement from the moderators.

I think it's awesome we can have gear threads and lane sharing threads, and yes even the occasional oil thread here that don't get dirty, ballistic or nasty. Good, honest discussions with knowledgeable people making valid points on all sides. Good stuff. It makes me proud.. of you guys!

Promise, we will do our best to keep it that way. Carry on ...............
