[Hoist!]

Alright, WTF happened here last night? We now have lost a valuable member here! Why?

Last night, after showing off some vacation pics, Brian (103tHunDer) stepped down as mod after getting razzed about locking his thread for some uninterrupted picture posting. Well. we all can't do that. Only mods can. Big friggin deal. But some got miffed, and gave him a hard time about it.

Well, it seems to have gotten out of hand though. Brian's name is now in Black. He musta deleted himself. Some of us can take each others BS better than others. Some ignore it, some fight back, some quit. I choose the first 2 options. I ain't lettin' any of ya'll skeer me away from something I love.

But we gotta be thinking about those that might not take it as well. Sometimes what is good-natured fun to one, turns into a nasty assault as viewed by another.

Don't know what to say otherwise. I for one just think it' a damn shame that we lost Brian, and I hate to see him gone!!! There was no need for it to get this far!!!

Hoist!

I must have missed this, but it sure is a shame if Brian has deleted himself from the forum.

Try to remember that whilst everyone has an opinion it doesn't have to be yours Brian.

Get yourself back in here.

I am sorry to hear of this.  Don't know what happened or why, but I really wish the self removal was not an option.  Need a 72 or 80 hour cooling off period to be allowed to actually delete your membership from this site.  I consider Brian to be one of my friends and so his not being here to share will be missed and unnecesarily.  If one gets upset about anything, we can all just step away, turn the computer off and go for a ride or something.  Not need to delete your personna completely.

Just my humble opinion of course.  :

Ah geez, I knew somethin' was up when I was enjoying Brian's pics of the Shiloh post.

Figured if I kept lookin' I'd find some BS reason for the whole thing, guess this sums it up.

Jus' can't seem to get everyone to play nice I guess.............................

From what I understand this one instance is not the reason that Brian deleted his account.  Seems that this was just the "last straw".  There's a lot of things on this site that go on in the background in the form of PM's and emails that most of don't see.

I really hope things can be worked out with Brian!  This site will not be the same without him!  I consider Brian a good friend, a friend that I will stand by!

Since I seem to be in the center of this firestorm, let me say a couple of things.

 I have never sent Brian (103tHunDer) a negative PM. I don't believe I've ever had a negative thing to say to him on the site or in person. In case anyone's forgotten, it was me who organized the t-shirt thank you for him in MV06.

Having said that, I saw the thread Brian started and wanted to jump in and post. For one thing, the shine on Brian's 00 SERG was incredible. Another was seeing a fellow 07 RG Pumpkin rider - - - and so on. Not being able to was akin to being asked over to someone's house to view slides and being told to shut up. I didn't agree with that and I said so. Also, I thought we aired out the issue of special perks for the Mods during the Twolane incident. So that was a part of it.

Now if anyone thinks I was sitting around twisting my mustache like Simon Legree trying to think of ways to cause hate and discontent they are out in Pluto somewhere.

I've posted damn near 6,000 posts, and I really think by now at least a few people might have caught on that I say what's on my mind and come what may. I also would think that a few people might give me just a wee bit of credit for being a stand up biker and good man.

I'm sorry this was the last straw for Brian, but it was the 1st straw from me, so I refuse to take a beating over it. If Brian was offended then I truly apologize, but I'm not about to grovel, not for Brian, not for anyone

And a fine jester it was, although his wife is probably still up in arms over the "stack"

I wouldn't be surprised.

I thought I had a picture of him with the pile, can't find it.

Someone else have it?? Would be a good shot here, kind of let those that were not there see the warm cozy feeling a bunch of strangers can have

Too darn bad - appears 103tHunDer deleted himself.  Possibly there is a reason for it we do not know about unrelated to the "locked thread" deal which I read & chuckled at but did not post in. 




Maybe I should have started that Sensitivity Thread" after all.

Life is most often like an iceberg iski. It's what you don't see below the surface causing all the problems

Agreed BB.  Calm is sometimes a thin mask for chaos.
