...rule of thumb is if I don't like what someone's saying or think they're full of it, I simply ignore them and their posts. I don't go off on rants about how I'm sick of them posting their stuff and make presumptions about their intentions.
Looks like you have a different style though, so fair enough - BUT I don't presume to make a call on how committed you are to motorocycles, what your experience is, or whether you're a "faker" or not.

Yet you felt the need to post a rant on this topic?

Please explain to me how responding to a post that was directed to me was a rant. Amazingly I was able to do it without using all caps or bold underline font. Wish I could say the same for yours and the OP.
To me this is a discussion. To you, it's apparently a contest. OK, you win. Good?

Looks like you broke your own rule, or added an exception to it. No one forced you to respond. And just because you're quoted doesn't always mean it's directed at you. But even if it was, you could have followed your own rule of..."if I don't like what someone's saying...I simply ignore them." So, you didn't like what KAHAONE said, and still you responded. Hmmm.

b. IMHO responding to a post addressed directly to me is different than putting out a rant about "Those people who...". But then...my opinion is really all that counts in this case right? Because after all, it's my rule and I can mediate it however I see fit.
c. The fact that you got involved in this specific discussion when it doesn't even pertain to you tells me that you are either looking for an argument or one of these guys is your friend and you think they need help. Which would it be?

I find it really funny reading other peoples posts about "******* cagers". And then they tell us about how stupid cagers are. The question I'd like to ask all of them is.......Do you own a car or truck?? If so, then why aren't YOU a cager, and lumped in the same catagory??
I'll bet there are many more car drivers who have nasty things to say about bike riders, and all the idiot things they/we do. And we all see bike riders doing stupid asinine things on a regular basis.
Personally I think that on the whole, bike riders are far more irresponsible than most car drivers.
I just find it funny when I read all the bravado, chest-pumped out, clenched-fist descriptions of "those ******* cagers".

Well... I can truthfully say that I've never been almost hit while in my car by some idgit on a bike texting, using a cell phone, or eating a Big Mac... but I can't say the same for almost being hit by a cager while on my bike...
I will concede that there are a few bikers out there who are jerks, but as many on this thread have observed, the vast majority of those are crotch rockets. It is a rare occasion that I see someone on a Harley being a jerk in traffic.
Need a step ladder to help you get off that high horse you're on?

Apparently you didn't like what they said. Just look at your last line.
So the fact that you posted your so-called "rule of thumb" (which you broke) must've been to climb onto your own high horse and point fingers at those you disagree with.

This was your first post. Where was the post you quoted directed at you?

I'm sitting myself in a corner for breaking my own rule. I gave myself 30 minutes for timeout. Good enough for ya?
