Freebird Posted December 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Don't know what has happened over the past few days but I guess it's time for a reminder about the few rules that we have here. NO POLITICS NO PORNOGRAPHY NO PERSON ATTACKS NO RELIGIOUS DEBATE Those are the main ones. I have said it before but it doesn't hurt to repeat it. This is a family oriented site. It is hard to rate such things but I would say that if used a movie type rating, "PG" is probably where it would fall. This site is based on friendships and the shared passion for motorcycles. It is about what unites us, NOT those things that might tear us apart. I realize that there are things going on it the world that are of interest to many of us. There are things that we should be able to discuss on a technical basis without turning it into a political debate. The discussion on fracking is one of those things. So far, it has remained fairly technical and non-political but it has the potential of going south. If that happens, it will be deleted. There was another thread about Cuba. That is almost a purely political topic and has been deleted. Thanks Edited December 18, 2014 by Freebird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Posted December 18, 2014 Share #7 Posted December 18, 2014 The Cuba one was mine and I can see where that could have went even though I meant it as a joke regarding acquiring cigars. Figured we had a few cigar smokers on here that would get a kick out of it. Won't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted December 18, 2014 Not a problem Angelo. I knew you didn't mean it that way but that is where it immediately headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted December 18, 2014 Share #12 Posted December 18, 2014 The Cuba one was mine and I can see where that could have went even though I meant it as a joke regarding acquiring cigars. Figured we had a few cigar smokers on here that would get a kick out of it. Won't happen again. Actually Ang,,, I would encourage you to rethink that "wont happen again" thingy.. I was one of the respondents in that thread who helped push it over the edge in the politics thingy - sometimes my (and others) goes to far, and thats when our VR family peace keeping Law Enforcement has to step in and get us back on track - doing their job (gotta be a tough one),, keepin us upright... It was obvious from the git-go what you were referring to with the thread - you did no wrong and meant nothing bad.. That said, you cant control the direction any thread is gonna go at any given time, IMHO - that is why we gotta have Moderators and a Bossman...

saddlebum Posted December 20, 2014 Share #14 Posted December 20, 2014 Personally Don ...I think it really sucks. This has to be at least the third time ( at least that I am aware of) that you have deleted a post before I even got to see what all the fuss was about. Seems I always miss out on all the fun ones.

Freebird Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted December 20, 2014 None of you actually missed anything. It did not get out of hand but was obviously turning political so just nipped it before it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kidding aside Don I like many others think you do a great job. It would not be the first time that either a thread or even a face to face conversation have taken a wrong or miss stepped turn, got out of hand and severed even some of the best and longstanding friendships. No debate is worth that. Edited December 20, 2014 by saddlebum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
