Does al-Zarqawi ride a SV?

Does anyone ride an SV on this site? :D Apart from me of course :wink:

Went for a 120 mile and really enjoyed it. The SV is really at its best when speeded.

The frame on the K5 get red hot!!!Forgot about that.

Didn't see a single terrorist incident or Iraqi insurgent...just idiots pulling wheelies...but Shropshire is boring so I'm not surprised. :?

Again, 6 pages of conversation... So there's something being added. Exact same went for our departed friend of course.

Yes, but it's a discussion that promotes ill feeling between members, and if you notice, once again our learned friend "lights touch paper and stands well back" like the troll he is.....

Maybe a little. But most people are adult enough to have a conversation on the internet without taking away any baggage. TBH I don't think there's any point in coddling people who will take mortal offence or hold grudges, they're going to do it anyway. The question is, should we limit the 95% or whatever who actually take part in these conversations without losing their sense of perspective to placate the 5% who really, seriously, need to grow up?

And if this topic's deemed unsuitable, what next? Practically any conversation can be contentious. How about that one about the guy on the roof being fed by police, with people talkign nonsense about the human rights act? That could kick off. Absolutely anything about stunting on the road, or speed cameras, they've got nasty in the past. You can't pad the site with cotton wool, there's always going to be some sharp edge that someone can cut their tender opinions on if they want to.

There's an al-Zarqawi topic on every site or list I frequent just now, this one's probably the most civil and reasoned I've seen- it's credit to the site that we can
approach a difficult subject and not all spit the dummy.

As jelster said " users who continually post for the sake of getting a reaction. "

I dont think northy, Supervox, or Gudster are trolls though. (I only mention these people snce they are sort of active in the thread.) I dont nessesarily agree or dissagree with any of them. Well actually, I do. Gudster is mainly talking sh*te.
Sometimes Socommk is.
There is a fine line. If you are posting up stuff, to wind up people, and get attention, you are trolling.
If you actually are a nutcase, and you accidentally wind everyone up, it looks like trolling, but you are not actually trying to get people annoyed. You are just a nutcase. Or an unpleasant person etc.

sometimes people do need to be wound up (just a little), not least because their complacent assumptions annoy me.
not everyone buys into the same emotive antiUS/antiwar/antiwhatever crap,, and to avoid the thread becoming a liberal-lefty echo-chamber,, its good that they should know that.
the response and resultant vitriol can be quite revealing.
agree or disagree... i dont really care.... but just be aware there is another side that is prepared to oppose those aforementioned assumptions.
