A lie requires that one (in this case the president) knowingly tell a falsehood and that just didn't happen. |

Outrider said: "This is a board for motorcyclists. In particular, Buell owners and prospective Buell owners." I still agree with that except for one minor change: This is BLAKE's board for motorcyclists. In particular, Buell owners and prospective Buell owners. Blake said: Right now, for me, there is little more important than our war against islamo-fascist terrorists. KCUF that!!! When I am on this board, the "war against islamo-fascist terrorists" is the LEAST IMPORTANT thing, for me. Non-moto and/or non-Buell related discussions need to be taken elsewhere like the General Discussion Board or completely off the BadWeb. I don't participate in the Politics or War threads, but have read them on occasion. Repetitive, boring, and absolutely useless. My suggestion is to make the BadWeb a forum for the exchange of useful information and meaningful ideas about motorcycles and motorcycle riding, specifically about Buells. Occasionally, just like in real life, sports, politics, religion, ugly girlfriends, humor, sex, Harleys, etc. may come up in the discussion, but I for one don't want to dwell on those things and the BadWeb would be better if we didn't have threads dedicated to non-motorcycle stuff. That's my opinion. Mike. |

I for one don't want to dwell on those things and the BadWeb would be better if we didn't have threads dedicated to non-motorcycle stuff Sorry to disagree again, but quite a few of us are very close here. In fact a number of us see other board members more often than our families. We do stuff in the real world & would like to share our experiences with our other friends. To me this board & others like it are about friendships, not bikes. |

"To me this board & others like it are about friendships, not bikes." You are wrong. This is first and foremost a Buell Enthusiasts' Discussion Forum. Of course it is natural that many of us Buell enthusiasts also happen to be friends and compatriots. |

R1DynaSquid, don't take it out of context, I said: Occasionally, just like in real life, sports, politics, religion, ugly girlfriends, humor, sex, Harleys, etc. may come up in the discussion, but I for one don't want to dwell on those things and the BadWeb would be better if we didn't have threads dedicated to non-motorcycle stuff. I wouldn't object if politics or anything else comes up in the course of normal posting, I just don't agree with dedicating threads to the topics of war, politics, etc. on the BadWeb. I disagree, this is everyone who posts here board. Without the good folks here the board wouldnt exist. Blake may have started it & runs it, but I think it belongs to all of us. Like you said, Blake RUNS it. His way. I don't feel like it belongs to all of us, otherwise if one wanted to one would be able to say sh*t, c*nt, p*ss, f*ck, cocks*cker, motherf*cker, and tits without being censored. Wow, "tits" isn't blocked. We do stuff in the real world & would like to share our experiences with our other friends. To me this board & others like it are about friendships, not bikes. So you think the BadWeb is You and Your friends' personal forum for sharing Your experiences? I'm confused. I thought you said the BadWeb "belongs to all of us"???? What about PM, e-mail, telephone, postcard, letter?

See Ingemar, Blake and I have exchanged words via email. He basically doesn't approve, as other 'officials' don't either, of my dislike towards Aaron and the way his company is cosseted by the BadWeB. In his emails he's made it very clear he doesn't consider me a friend. So, just to let you know, my comment isn't as one sided as you think, but these are not the reasons I made that comment. They stand on their own merit. As for a better BadWeB, I've put my fair share in and still do. Sorry it's not another boring dyno chart if that's what floats your boat. Rocket |

>>>I don't feel like it belongs to all of us, otherwise if one wanted to one would be able to say . . . . (enter George Carlin list HERE) Any questions regarding our policy toward use of profanity can be directed to me. For those new to the board it's as simple as "if I wouldn't print it and lay it on the living room table at home or in the lobby at work, we don't need the language here". Look, I am a construction worker and a former Marine, I know most the naughty words. I also know where and when to use them. Simple, eh? And you'll always be comfy with your kids coming here to see pictures of neat bikes. I'm not madly emphatic about this, just consistent and predictable over the last 9 years of Buell-netting. Face it, in the final analysis only Denise and I are true "old timers". Sticking to principles has served us both well. >>>They stand on their own merit. No they don't. . .that's a patently untrue statement based on a very limited amount of information. The floating boat is currently floating in excess of 200MPH. As performance motorcycle fans, that stuff thrills us. Aaron Wilson is honest and forthright to a fault. I am fairly tapped into the world of Buell information and will offer two tidbits, actually make that three. 1.) My opinion here is not driven by personalities or who I do or do not "like". Rocket has made valuable contributions here over the years, this thread is among his darker hours. 2.) Aaron Wilson, I'll repeat for the benefit of any folks new to Buell, is the single most honest and forthright person (that says much) I have met in 20 years of Buell ownership and riding in 44 states. 3.) I know what's inside the can of worms that is being kicked about the floor. My sage suggestion to all is that it is in no one's interest to allow the can to be opened. This will be my final contribution to this thread. I've stated my thoughts and needn't enter a debate. Court Canfield |

Court, I'm sorry you made that statement but you got your underpants in a twist. When I said "They stand on their own merit" I was referring to my comment toward Blake, "Who the fcuk would want to grow with you anyway? You personally have done a fantastic job on your own PR. Count me as your ex-friend until you change your (on-line?) attitude, and not just on politics, you bull headed ignorant prick" I said as much because of Blake's bull headed attitude towards politics and the war and the manner in which he often bullies the contributors of BadWeB around who don't sometimes agree with him. His comment I sure don't care to "grow together" with anyone who is willing to state publicly that our President "lied us into war." Nope, such an individual would do well to stay far the hell away from me at all times is a typical example of this. I dare say if I had made such a comment Blake would be mailing me some strong words off the board telling me how to tow the party line. As for your observations of Aaron Wilson, sure he's a great guy, and as honest as the day is long, but in that can of worms you claim to know the contents of, there in lay some detritus you know nothing about. As Aaron has said so sometimes himself on the BadWeB, we've all got our quirks. I have mine, he has his, but it was he who cast the first stone in our falling out, so you'd do well to remember that, and just as well to respect MY opinions on the subject, LIKE YOU DO HIS. Instead though, with regard to this matter, you and Blake do your utmost to put me down. For that reason this might NOT be my last comment I have to say on the matter and I'm afraid just like Aaron and everyone else, you're gonna have to live with that until we agree to disagree or you start kissing my arse for a change or boot me off the board. With respect and no hard feelings, and congratulations on you and the missus tying the knot. Sean |

See Ingemar, Blake and I have exchanged words via email..In his emails he's made it very clear he doesn't consider me a friend. IMO, your post here should have been a reply to one of his emails and NOT a public post on the board. As for a better BadWeB, I've put my fair share in and still do. I know and I've come across very useful info you have posted. I still enjoy reading most of your posts Rocket. Whether your right or wrong, counter steering is a most entertaining AND informative topic. I just wish you would refrain from posting some of the junk you've been spilling over the board lately. Sorry it's not another boring dyno chart if that's what floats your boat.

Sean, I don't know anyone who has launched more personal attacks on this board than you. A lot of them are still on record in storage along with your, at the time, heartfelt apologies and promises to never misbehave again. Unfortunately, you have very little good to say about anyone, but often have lots of venom to inject. This is not the place for it, and as others have noted, we don't want it. Please move towards the light. Dwelling on negative and hateful emotions/feelings will ruin a person's life. Please move towards the light. I suggest all of us move towards the light. And please, cease posting here unless you have a constructive suggestion for the board. |

I have apolgised you're right Blake but it doesn't stop you bringing it up from time to time. Hell, I kissed Steve A's arse for you once, amongst others too, though I was loathe to do so. I am not the bad boy you make me out to be. The problem stems from a lot of crap some of you speak. To make this board more tolerable, and sometimes more entertaining for myself, I just can't let some of the crap that gets spoken go by. Ingemar, it was your sarcastic comment that warranted I give an explanation about my Blake comment. For a better BadWeB I suggest a lot less chiefs seeing as you all in the same pot. Rocket |
