Title: I think we need to start a petition for the folks who develop SMF.
Post by: Egaeus on June 29, 2007, 08:13:19 PM
It needs a user flagging system.  That way, you can flag a user with a label (e.g. tard) so you don't have to repeatedly wander into their moronic threads after you forget that they're tards.  Whaddya' think?

Yeah, not much going on.  Too tired to go out, but not sleepy.  And my brain can't keep up with all of the new tards.

You don't block them, you just have a handy pre-filter so you'll know how big of a grain of salt you'll need, or whether you should bother clicking on their requests for help.

Seriously, I don't think you're a tard.  I may think that you don't think sometimes, or that you have bad judgement, and we may have very different world views, but you don't seem to be incapable of comprehending things, and you have a fundamental grasp of communication.  I can't say that about some people, and I keep forgetting which ones they are until I click on their rambling incoherence.  It takes a lot of self-control to prevent myself from saying things like http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=35988.0 in several threads on the main board....

Don't feel bad Terry, I'm a tard.   

Hmm, does that mean, since I know I'm a tard, I have to add myself to my own list?  Man, I wouldn't even be able to read my own posts... :laugh:

I've really, really tried not to comment on people's apparent lack of literacy. I don't want to come across as a "Nazi", but I have to admit that I just skip over the incomprehensible posts... which are increasing.

On the other hand, there are days when I think I'm going to light into someone if I see "break" for "brake" JUST ONE MORE FREAKING TIME.

Basic literacy isn't perfection.  I'm not going to have a fit if someone ends a sentence in a preposition or has a dangling modifier.  However, writing things like, "if you're breaks aren't working, your going too reck." borders on illiteracy.  We don't ask for perfection, just competence...or a flagging system.

Basic literacy isn't perfection, but I rarely get the impression that folks who comment on (judge) others' literacy are expecting basic literacy; I get the impression they're expecting perfection. Why in the world would we waste our time flagging members because they say "your" instead of "you're" or "break"  instead of "brake?"

"if you're breaks aren't working, your going too reck." <---As difficult as it seems for a few others to understand, I can actually read and comprehend this statement, as imperfect as it is. I can understand what the author is trying to convey. Sure, there are occasionally posts that are a little more difficult to read, but that's what the back button is for.  :icon_twisted:

I don't think 06 will work out of the box.I believe the stem is to big around and long to work in a GS.You could machine the gix stem or modify the GS stem.
Quote from: spcterry on June 29, 2007, 02:02:56 PM
If you mean what else do you need:
You will need to do custom fabrication to either make the gixxer stem fit the GS frame or to install the GS stem into the gixxer triples.  You will also need a wheel and tire with rotors.  Check ebay.....or you could get the wheel/rotors/tire from the dealer but be prepared to pay several hundred........  Unless you can machine parts yourself and have some fabrication background you will need to find a machine shop that will work on bikes.....expect to spend 100 there.......you 'might' be able to do everything for 200 if you bargain hunt :dunno_white:

It doesn't looks as though we don't need to save a poor, deprived member from what some see as his grammatical hell, does it?  ;)
