what happened to Darkersomeday???

<< < (3/12) > >>

SaMAlex:
I like darkersomeday and his "type first, think later" posts. I have to agree with his point on the thread, even tho you will have a hard time talking most BMXers, esp older ones out of their Vans.

I dont think he said anything too bad but there was no need to start the name calling. Even tho he didnt start it, and he shouldnt have been callled a wa**er, he also shouldnt have lowered himself to calling back.
Now, Im off to knock one out over the pics if his yellow challenger ... oh ... he wont like that!  :LolLolLolLol:

dordymush:
man i cant believe im reading stuff like this again.
its like the 69'er thing all over again that i ended up leaving being a moderator over.
no member should ever have to feel they have to leave because of a clash of opinions.
not good  :(.

RATTY:
wow, guys I thought this could have been dealt with a lot better, everyone is entitled to their point of view, especially as most of us probably never knew about Dc and Vans alleged view on BMX, a lot of the snipes were aimed at people on this site like me, who gave up in the 80s etc, who build pretty bikes which probably cost too much money, and do regret giving up riding at the end of the first wave of popularity. He wasnt telling lies though, flange and drink were lame excuses for giving up. Im sure most people gave up because they was embarrassed or had no one left to ride with bitd.
But i digress, lets not let this happen again, if a thread starts to get out of hand, we have enough mods to clamp it down straight away, lets not loose anyone else through petty disagreements and differences of opinion

Beckyboo:
I didn't actually call him a w a n k e r.

Instead I pointed out that he may not be aware of it, but he came across as one. Which I think he did and fiar enough, it didn't need pointing out, but he had just called my husband an  :Aresehole: which is not correct.  :)

Although it has been said that he did not start any name calling I disagree and found his comments prior to mine in that thread quite inflammatory. Comments such as:

where the fcuk have you been for the last 5 years?

climb back into your pram and i'll explain mate,

surely you cant be so stupid

if you actually give a shit about bmx

its easy to sit on the fence and dole out cheesey proverbs

simply childish,

where the fcuk did that come from? are we having the same conversation here mate?

but it wasnt me that dumped bmx at 16 for a moped and a slice of flange was it? "yawns"
 
:Aresehole:   (his comment not mine)

Not exactly merely voicing his opinion.


It is a shame he chose to delete his own account especially if some members got on with he guy and agreed with his views but I cannot see any conspiracy or undue pressure was exerted at all. It seems like it was his choice and a shame but I dont think he chose to because of a clash of opinions as he stuck around for some time after the following view about old school collectors.

the thing that ****s me off most, no, makes me want to puke my ****ing guts up is some 40yr old guy wanking off over his "collection" of old shiny bikes when they should really be out there in the world being enjoyed by some poor kid, being used for what they were made for.

SaMAlex:
hopefully darkersomeday will read all this and join back up.

I miss him already, thanks to him I will never run a profile chainring with primo cranks.
