This thread has no place on this forum. This is a forum for keeping in touch, reading interesting stories and getting valuable information.
It is NOT for stirring up trouble. Politics and religion are the two things bikers avoid discussing because it only ever leads to contention and that is not what we're about (well most of us).
If you have a problem with someone then either keep it to yourself or say it to their face but don't hide behind carefully chosen words on a bike forum.
This thread is nothing but a character reference.

Yes of course your right ,if it were solely a motorcycle forum ,but its
not. Its a sub-section of a motorcycle forum , with the heading .......
Ireland. And , yes i am talking about ,, funny enough Ireland.
But i do understand your annoyance , most ordinary folk want a release
from this ,what is our history. But whether you or anyone else likes /
dislikes , its our heritage , and as such has shaped our people and our
country , again for good or bad.?.You decide .
I should maybe explain why i have done this.
There is one man that is a frequent user of the forum , who chooses to
use an avatar , that i find offensive . I have spoken to the Ireland moderator , and to the site owner in relation to this , both ,maybe rightly so have adopted a ""Laissez faire"" approach , which is probably one of the reasons the site works.. But it doesnt help me.
I have tried to speak to the man involved , but cant find his contact details.
I have PM,ed him on a multitude of occasions , explaining that i find his avatar offensive and think it has no place ,in a public place where it obviuosly causes offence ,again to me .His continued use of this avatar
after repeated requests to remove it annoys me. To that end , in my mind this would fall under the term "Bigot" from the purest sense of the word as described in the dictionary.
I am not stirring up trouble , far from it.
I am merely highlighting an event , that should be big on this chaps calender , but obviously wasnt .Again probably highlighting his ignorance of the actual event.
Your reference to biker , conjurs up all sorts of images ,
to me a biker is one of those chaps , you see with dirty jacket and badges
sowed all over it , riding something that looks like a torture machine.
Again , i dont like the idea of being Classed as a "Biker" i much prefer
motorcyclist.
and on the final point : Judgement : Judge not and ye shall not be judged.
I have given up on judgement , especially of peoples character ,,
simply because i have had too many surprises , judging or categorising
people , is a dangerous trade. Not one that i would be good at.
As for your character reference ,,, i can only assume , that at this stage
i have left nothing to chance ,
selfish right wing armchair Nationalist .
Oh , Just on the re-read ,, I have to say i love the Bit
"" Hiding behind carefully chosen words"" ..
In honesty, i didnt think i had the capacity.
