Why are you trying to pick a fight.  There are plenty of other forums filled with jerks and assorted trolls.   Go visit them if you want to have a flame war. I don't have a problem with being told (even pointedly) that I may be incorrect.... but if you can't respond with any modicum of respect then i'll thank you to keep whatever opinion you have of me to yourself and off the message board.

You were out of line.  Period.

This sort of thing belongs in a PM.

no no...he was drunk, period.

no no. its what he does. and you got off fairly easily compared to some of his other posts. and btw dont take it so seriously that just davipu. he is probally serious about loaning you that book if that tells you anything.

While I agree this belongs in a PM, so does calling someone an idiot if you feel it is necessary to do so.  

Tarzanboy - I agree there is no excuse for being impolite to anyone from anyone. From the posts I've read, he is usually jesting (albeit a little hardcore sometimes). I am hoping that is the case here  

Let's just be nice to eachother and talk about things like bikes and "purple lesbiens"  :mrgreen:

why do you make it so complicated...this would have sufficed:

"can we all just get along?"

I'm surprised that you're making excuses for him.  

Why should the fact that being insulting is his regular behavior be some some sort excuse or pass for him to keep on doing it.   Shouldn't the opposite be true?

To put it bluntly, i expect a lot better than that from this site/message board in particular (which prides itself on being friendly).

As i said before, its not difficult to find trolls elsewhere.  If davipu's comportance is the expected norm, then I might be mistaken about the folks on this board in general.

You raise a very valid point Tarzanboy. You really do.  

yes, we collectively might be more mature than others but that doesn't mean it'll be abosolutely davipu-free...

I consiter this site like a family. we may not all exactly enjoy each other or get along but we are a group bound by a lil 482CC motorcycle called the gs500.  So you know what? I'll stand up for Davipu you dont like the kinda person he is or this board then tuff nuts man. Cuz davipu and most everyone on this board will help you out when you need it. maybe you havnt been around long enuff to know it. but sorry man, maybe you should take a chill pill. he didnt piss in your cornflakes come on now. geez.

attn Moderators: please throw this into the ODDs and ENDs.  :lol:

He just about 'pissed in my cornflakes' as much as possible given that this is an internet message board.

I still find it surprising that davipu is the one who did the insulting (unprovoked, I might add), and yet here you are telling me that I am the one who should adjust my attitude/behavior.  

Why not also tell him to stoping being a jerk to other posters for no reason.

Well, not to defend what he said... But, he did say he was drunk in the post.

Look man.  I know you want someone to kiss your boo-boo and make it all better, but it ain't gonna happen.  And I know you want the internet nice police to bat him in the knee, but that ain't gonna happen either.  Crying about it in a new thread was probably not ever going to help you, and opens you up to all kinds of new ridicule.  Others have already told davipu to be nice and guess what, he doesn't want to.  Grow a thicker skin, and move on with your life.

Davipu is just one of the characters that make this forum fun, just because you consider us the "poster children" of motorcycles forums doesn't mean we are all angels all the time, so I guess you gotta get used to it or just ignore him.  People have to remember we are online...it's not the same as real life, when you turn off your computer it all goes away.

noooo...dont ever turn off your monitor. it turns off the internet too. just turn off your brain at night.

No one else is going to say it, so I guess I will  :lol:

In between his drunken ramblings, he really knows what the hell is he talking about. I think people respect that, and that is why it is overlooked that he can be a complete jackass sometimes.

Does that make it right? Of course not, but since this is such an open forum, people are going to post whatever they want. I can be a complete jackass sometimes also.  :lol:

And there isn't anything stopping you from telling him to go f&^% himself, either. If it makes you feel better, tell him. No one is going to blame you.

I think what everyone is saying is to let it get to you. It isn't right, but it isn't really worth worrying about, either. What can be done about it?  :dunno:
