Default Removing post

By way of an explanation: I sent a PM to Terry1955 last night and asked him to remove the post about the Semi vs Rocket. When I posted; I was under the impression that the guy lived and I thought it was amazing. The e-mail I received stated that.I also thought it was a good reminder for all of us to slow down and ride safer.

As usual on the board, some supported my post and some thought it was offensive. After reading the post by uweldit and finding out that the guy died; I had to agree that it was inapporpiate to post the pictures so I sent aPM to Terry1955 and asked him to remove it.

I lost my son 12 years ago and I agree with Spike. I wouldn't want to read about it again on the internet a year later. I thought this guy had lived and didn't know that this happened a year ago.
I just got the e-mail. Spike, you're right again, I should have figured it out.

That's one thing about the internet; once you push the button it's too late to bring it back.So thanks to those, who supported the "reminder to ride safe" and thanks to those, who think there is a more appropiate way to say it.

I agree---I could have said it in abetter way. Thanks Terry1955. Ride safe

No problems, a lot of us have done the same thing, me included. I think it goes something like "Open mouth, insert foot"

No need to apologize really, I used to be a firefighter/paramedic and saw the results of crashes like this on the living afterwards. It sucks, it hurts inside even though you have never met the victims or families and it stays with you forever.
Thanks for asking it to be removed, shows you care

Edited for bad spelling

It tkes guts to admit you made a mistake. Too bad there are not more people in the world with that kind of integrity.
