A recent increase in arguments, ranting and ill feeling on the hubb !!
 

Have we had an influx of new angry members ?? Has everyone just gone a bit mad recently with all the financial problems and bad weather ???

It just seems that every thread I read, there is someone at someone elses neck. People getting wound up and drawn into pointless arguments which really have no place here. .. There's just no need. This isnt visordown.com !

This is a great forum and kept great by its members who are 99% of the time, fantastic, friendly and laid back folk who won't be drawn into pointless internet "baiting".. (Traveller qualities I guess)..

So people, lets all just count to 10 and smile and keep the Hubb laid back and cool

! :Beach:

Yes
 

Sorry Ted . I have to say you're right. Well said. Linzi.

Ted,

I agree. It happens on most forums. I think it's because people will type what they wouldn't say to someone's face. Also, things easily get taken out of context or "blown up" because us humans are programed to react to body language, facial expression and tone of voice and we don't get that instant feedback with typed messages.

Of course some people are just moody, objectionable w*nkers and are only happy if they're in an argument. :taz:

Yup, it does... I have been members of many forums most of which I dont use anymore due to arguments and baiting etc.

The hubb has alwasy been different due to the fact that it only attracted like minded travelling bikers.... I guess with motorcycle travel becoming more and more popular and with the hubb becoming bigger and more commercial, there was always going to be an influx of new members and I guess you are always going to get a few argumentable types thrown in with the mix...

:innocent:

You want to try Visordown - Motorbike Reviews | Motorbike News | Motorcycle Forums

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I'd hate to start the subject of TV programmes etc. again, but when something becomes more popular you always get people who are in it to inflate their own egos rather than anything else. I actually think we do OK compared to other sites.

Caminando, I did not wish to portray that the HUB was an unpleasant place because its not.. Like I said, 99% of its members are really cool folk !! :thumbup1:

It was just a light hearted post to "hopefully" remind some people that we should try and get along... It just seemed (to me anyway), that there was alot of ill feeling going about, to the point of personal insults.. Im not going to name people as its not my place to do so.. Im not talking about dissagreement and heated debate as thats what makes forums objective and useful.. I was just refering to personal insults really !

Maybe its just the posts I seem to read....

I used to use that forum A LOT a few years ago !! It was great while it was small and friendly and quite unknown . Sadly it sold out to TWO magazine and now its just trash, sales and arguments about whos R6 is faster !!

I disagree
 

Nope guys, can only speak for myself and I owe an apology. Personally I enjoy converstion but can easily get excited so to speak. This should be a site to which people come for info and from wich they go with an uplifted feeling I think. Linzi.

With you
 

I'm with my new friend Linz --- PEACE OUT MAN!

From now on only positive comment from me .... I promise :)

PS Linz - order from Amazon arrived, Titled 'Taking Liberties'. turns out it's DVD - subtitled 'The UK's version of Farenheight 911'. Do you know if it's the same thing?

PEACE AND LOVE

I like that too!:innocent:

Personally, I blame that Albert Crutcher

Liberalism
 

As for the DVD, I'll check. Sounds like no though. The book shows Tony Blair beside an "ordinary guy" in jeans and Tony's gripping this guy's private parts.There is also a DVD but both book and DVD are specifically about the hundreds of laws passed by Labour under Tony Blair. I'll get back to you. ps My main problem these days is worrying if I am getting the truth! I no longer trust the UK press or news. Linzi.

Author
 

Chris Atkins author of Taking Liberties, Less than £5,00 from Amazon. Cornish Deity are you interested in southern Moroccan pistes? Linzi.

Ahhh
 

DVD has same cover. Just gotta try and find time for i now.

As for the pistes, we won't be hitting Northern Africa till about 2015+ assuming we can continue te trip as planned, so I think the answer is no for now ...

Thanks

Cheers
