Or Worse only Drunk Limeys will like Serow... We Don't do French over here since the Napolean incident.....

Seriously I clock on several times a week since joining here... I've asked some dumb questions but have had some good advice and that's helped me help myself..

I've tried to read between the lines and even looked at your old threads mate and my advice as a Mod and Admin on other forums would be to take a breather and come back when you're ready..

It's the people that make the Forum mate..  But from experience I know the Forum can take over the Person..

Take it easy Mucker and don't drift too far away...

And to your theorist of rich manipulations, I question if you really have a grasp of what motivates mankind. To think those folk could ever muster a shared consenus to the point it appears you believe would require of them a characteristic they have not.... [/raydawg]

Money motivates mankind even the elites, and musters them to be on the same evil page.  IMHO, Jog is the one with the Kung foo grip on reality and you, raydawg, have been manipulated and brainwashed by the mass media that forms the sheeple concensus that the elite would never try to pull the wool over the unwashed masses eyes.

two words:  power and money

Naw, man. I have tried to dump my crap on you and Serowbot equally for a couple of years. Serowbot can't handle it all. There are some real assholes and haters on here, but I'm just grateful I don't have that attitude and wonder what kind of life they have. The forum has changed a lot in the last year with more book smarts than experience and common sense. I don't always agree with your thoughts, but I would trust you to work on my bike and use my tools. I have learned that your motives are good. If you don't think I consider your thoughts--you are wrong. Please stay. I am concerned for you, and we need your special brand of wit and humor. And you have never offended me. I value your friendship. Sincerely, Barry (Boofer)

I stand corrected, thanks....and yes I'm confused, but ain't knowing that half the battle? And b'sides, who says we have to know it all JOG? Nah, I'll just look for joy, and pay no heed to the discord, as that merry go round seems to only go in circles....

Ifyou stay around here awesome, if not, be well were you spend your time, and yes, please correct my grammer, punctation, speling, for its the only wayz I lern.....  

Man, if you want to go, just go.  No need to post up a "hey everyone, watch me leave" thread, which has the effect of forcing a bunch of "NO!! your contributions are so valuable" type responses, and then if you don't actually quit posting here, makes you look like a foolish drama queen. Just go and let the chips fall where they may.

That is not to say I'd want you gone.. Even if I don't respond to one of your threads, I totally enjoy your friendly nature, folksy tone.. and not many of us share the same libertarian stripes.  

But you have to remember what these forums are for.  They are for sharing motorbike information, and maybe a bit of LIGHT HEARTED entertainment here and there, that's it.  They are not meant to be a platform to convert others to any particular way of thinking.  To make it all about getting people to buy into this or that conspiracy theory, and then getting frustrated at your lack of progress to that end, then throwing the baby out with THAT bathwater.. well that's foolish IMO. Keeping the forum's original purpose in mind would, I think, help you maintain a healthier attitude toward it.

I am reminded of a general bit of advice on moderation, which I'll paraphrase: If you want to post a lot, post a little.  Then by not burning out, you'll be around long enough to post a lot.
