Of course it is one star why would someone complain over a perfect rating. Some people complain about everything. Wayne

We have a number of American (and Australian and NZ) members on the European motorcycle forum that I use. Not one of the members is other than civil to those American posters, nobody sees that their coming from another country is sufficient grounds to bad mouth or send offensive texts to anybody. I am amazed that such actions occur here with worrying regularity.

X2!
That said, this is not a "bash a yank" rant, just the observations of others.

How did this thread turn from "you hurt my feelings"
to "Americans don't like foreigners" ?

These long protracted "goodbyes" are always funny.

They always beat around the bush with innuendoes and guesses who may have pissed them off.

Why don't they just man up and say who it was.

Instead of everyone left here wondering what all this knickers in a twist was about.

I can work that out, the evidence is clear to see.

More than one old crank in a Model A. Most are not balanced and have leaky valves.

Is that a friend who is old or a long time friend?
Have a great day. Friends good.

Hey ask my wife- I like to argue even when I'm wrong!!!

Ian, I have always enjoyed your response to the threads-but also understand your feelings.
some things in life just arent worth putting up with and so be it. as someone previously mentioned- this site is like a rugby game at times. can only laugh it off and shake your head........!

Rugby? Are you sure? Rugby has the reputation for being a game played by gentlemen where the laws are respected by one and all.

I've reached the end of the line with this stuff fellas. I'm done. If you have specific examples of someone being rude, please pm me. It's time to start kicking people off the forum - no matter how long they have been here or how much knowledge they have.

Manners aren't hard. And from now on, they are required here.
