2. Don't like what you see, do nothing - you're still a weak prick
3. Don't like what you see, do something about it - hooray, you're not a prick
Like I said, an extreme example. My point is if there's racist, derogatory or other BS that goes on here, people should pull people up on it, and mods should ban them (at least temporarily until they pull their head in). Like it or not, we are a multi-cultural society, and you're going to get people of all shapes, sizes, colours, ethnicity and sexual persuasion on here. If they come on here and see what I saw, they're going to leave, it's not worth their hassle to get caught up in the shit, especially as a newb. I know of 2 other mates, both into building bikes, that don't come on here anymore because of the shit. People might like to think of Streetfighters as a kind of "outlaw group" where the usual rules of society don't apply. Fair enough some of us "flirt with the law" (everytime we jump on a bike for example), but that's no excuse to act like a tool. Anyone is entitled to their own opinion, morals and ethics, however there are some basic rules apply to society, and which should apply here.
K6 - It's shit that you've been on the receiving end, unfortunately it's usually the small group of small minded dickheads that ruin it for everyone else. Hate breeds hate, war and terrorism are testament to that.
Look, maybe I caught this place on a bad day, maybe it's a storm in a tea cup and this place going downhill is just a reflection of everyone doing it tough and there's simply not enough cash going around for fun shiny toys. I'm going to stick around a bit and give it another go, my motorbiking direction might be a little different these days (tard now, and I've got a SV650 with GSXR bits I'm going to convert to electric when I have the coin), but there's no where else I'd go to share my love for bikes and riding. If I see some racist BS like "illegal immigrants steal all our money/jobs/wives" then I'll call someone on it.
By the way, whatever happened to ozkat and Mad Mundy? I saw some crap that went on with Shayne but what about Mundy?
