OK. I can see closing this thread for being homophobic. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/off-t...ook-gay-3.html
But it was basically harmless, more in tune with a typical Harley rider.

Then we have the psycho Wodan posting a thread like this:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/polit...s-problem.html

Pure trolling, insulting all White male Americans. But this will go on and on. Why is that?

Because it's in the POD. If you read the rules, the moderators have final say on what goes on here. We are not going to answer to the membership everytime you disagree with it. Get used to it!

The thread in question had several reports made on it and not "harmless" to all members, so it was time to shut it down.
