Participantzk: I could not agree more. The lying is pervasive. Lots of self-deception, especially in political matters, partisan fanatics. Either way, it’s bullshit.
AFF, man — I had to sell my bike… Yeah, kind of a bummer. Same deal, two kids, just too much going on these days. Bad risk for me to be riding right now, seems like I’m always tired these days.
Some boomer guy came by last month, gave me a couple grand and rode off on it. Broke my heart. Almost crashed into a parked car on the way out of my driveway… <cringe>
Pretty funny sight. Kawasaki KLR650, so it rides high. I’m 6’5″ so no trouble for me, but boomer guy was about 5’9″, and had to lean the bike to get his foot flat on the ground. It just wasn’t right.
The guy was alright. Expect he’ll be fine. Mostly, I just want my bike back. Wish I hadn’t sold it. Sour grapes. So it goes.

ParticipantI agree about moderating the blog. Add a link to democratically flag topics and posts as OTL.
Moderating is not censorship. It minimizes trolling and improves signal-to-noise.

ParticipantBusy last couple of days. Wanted to respond to some of rus’ comments as well as add some words that put some of the casca discussions, if you can call them that, in context.
First, people who make a habit of violating social norms get beat on in every context, everywhere, in the history of the world. It’s human behavior. Animal behavior. That’s how the world works. I took some ribbing for suggesting we democratically moderate threads. That’s not censorship, BTW.
Second, the Internet isn’t anonymous. You connect from somewhere and leave footprints everywhere you go. Those who know, know better.
With casca, I believe he’s a bullet-catcher from here on the Island. Small world, small town in fact. In terms of his profile, there is little to suggest any proclivity to engage in civil discussion on matters of politics. He is Marine Corps, tip of the spear. They serve a function, and serve it well. Battle on. (Or change the subject.)
