My name is metallyguitarded and I have been moderated.
That's your cue to welcome me with, "Hello, metallyguitarded! Would you like to share today?"
That's when I sheepishly admit that in the beginning, before knowing any of the rules, I used some ... how should I say it ... enthusiastic, adult language in one of my posts. The ferret pointed out my transgression, I apologized and within a couple of days, I did it again. I'm a slow learner. Or, maybe, certain habits are harder to break than others. Always a gentleman, and with the patience described by Guth, the ferret would simply point out the error of my ways, replace my offensive diction and all would be right in the world once again.
The reason behind the censorship was politely explained and while I felt some of it went a bit far, I also realized and fully accepted that I was in Guth and the ferret's house and these were their rules. I am merely a guest. A guest who wishes to remain welcome and who enjoys and appreciates the atmosphere, the contributions, the personalities and even the moderation. Thank you ferret and thank you Guth. Thanks to all of you guys and gals. I truly enjoy this forum and happily refrain from fully exercising my First Amendment rights in exchange for a great place to share my love of this motorcycle with like-minded individuals.
