BMX General > BMX Chat
what happened to Darkersomeday???
Stace:
I thoroughly enjoyed that thread >:D and to be honest when reading it back, although it got a little heated was nothing to really consider leaving the forum over.
I think both guys have very valid points. I wasn't aware of the Vans/DC issue, and if thats the way they play ball then thats sh1t, but it won't stop me buying a comfy pair of shoes !!! Its a shame because I thought Joe was a good guy, I looked forward to his comments because he seemed well informed and was not scared to say how he felt.
When reading the original thread, you can see both gents were passionate in their writing and quite clearly believed in there comments. We're all grown adults here, surely its a new day in the morning, so why leave ???

Ive got nothing to do with this at all and i wasnt a member when this was going on but we are all members of this site due to our love for bmx.
If you dont race ride or freestyle or only collect and let them gather dust, then what does it matter???? BMX is what its about. Thats our love.
Everyone is allowed there opinion but people should express it in a manner that dosen't insult or belittle. Lets just have a laugh and keep the banter flowing! IT AINT THAT SERIOUS! :daumenhoch:

Oh well, he left, fair play, as he said if you cant stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
So its ok for him to have hus bullshit rant but not me?
Just because i am a mod doesnt mean I dont or am not allowed an opinion on someone elses thoughts, thats the point of having a forum. I dont think I was heavy handed with anything, other than deleting one post in which he called my wife a C U N T. and even after that, I didnt start threatening to get his mobile number and start meeting him at motorway service stations or anything.
As Lazarou says, He's surprised that I bite back as I am the resident layed back hippie...Does that not give some credability as to how much shit one person has to dish out before i finally have a go back?
its fine to come on here shouting your opinion, but try listening to everybody's opinions, finding a balance to please every fooker on the site, whilst still trying to ride, build bikes, help organise events, raise money, moderate the forum, all the while "trying not to be like VBMX" then tell me im being heavy handed with someone who goes shouting his part, not just about this issue but many many others, i could go back and quote some of his posts, but i wont, because I just cant be arsed.
tell you what, i'll resign as moderator, dordy already has, we'll all go one by one, then there will be no heavy handed 1984 VBMX type state, and you can all organise your own stuff, just how you, like it. Itll save me a lot of time TBH, so perhaps ill have a bit more time to ride my bike without having to rely upon one of my lame excuses for not riding and wearing the right shoes.
Stace:
Woooah, Calm down fella.
You were well within your right to do and act how you did, If someone called my missus that I would have met them in the service station !! :2gunsfiring_v1: I thought it was quite fair paring tbh.
Don't throw in the towel, you and all the other mods do a great deal for this site, I don't think its been heavily handed. Forget the moderator, site supporter, whatever badges......I thought it was just two guys getting heated !!
Bring back the love :4_17_5:

if i left i everytime i didn't agree with someone, or thought someone was doing something stoopid i would have deleted my account on the first day.
hehehe i remember one the first posts i made was in reply to a thread started by orb about a citroen saxo he had bought. i remarked that the only thing on the car worth having was the tyres . . . . :D
