I hadn't planned on it...but now that you mention it....
Hmm, mod - could you show where this precise same topic was discussed, as I don't recall doing so elsewhere?High_Side wrote:Yep.

Some people just come here to post topics that will get everyone's undies in a bundle so they can get off at watching us argue with each other.
Easy big fella. I was referring to the topic not to your post. This original thread was started by bkrchick2714, who also started the same thread on bcsportbikes.com as a first post. Maybe Loonette was refering to your post but I took it that she was referring to the thread in general.Marx wrote:Hmm, mod - could you show where this precise same topic was discussed, as I don't recall doing so elsewhere?High_Side wrote:Yep.

Anyway, why is it considered 'trolling' to make a valid point about people trying to 'seemingly' shame others into following their line of thought by claiming some superiority in their self-esteem?
That's not trolling, that's opinion... sorry if you two don't happen to like people having individual opinion, but THAT seems more trollish to me than someone expressing their opinion.
Yes, I quoted you, Marx, because I was agreeing with you. The troll comments were made towards bkrchick2714, who incidentally has not bothered to come back and defend herself. The second topic she started (girl on girl riders, or whatever), was wisely removed by yet another moderator. I can see how I didn't clarify that very well - sorry for the confusion.High_Side wrote:Easy big fella. I was referring to the topic not to your post.

Fer that? I wouldn't worry about itMarx wrote:AHHhhhhh - my sincerest apologies for a snappy attack of paranoia on my part... Damn, well I'll just go sit in the corner with my nice Dunce cap for a while.
Marx wrote:I don't follow the logic behind those who make statments about 'security' in their 'maleness'. It's odd, do women go around (or rather, do men try shaming women into saying) about being 'secure in their feminity'? No.
It often comes across to me that guys and women who use such language are effectively trying to imply that people who do not follow their line of though must be 'insecure'. Why is a person 'insecure' just because they do not like something, or, shock - horror, don't think the same way as you?
Can someone answer this for me? Or am I to assume I'm right, it is nothing more than an attempt to shame others into towing a line?
ETA: As I said earlier, I am ok with riding pillion to a man or a woman, but it sure as heck has nothing whatsoever to do with being 'secure enough in my manliness'... it has to do with whether my trust in the driver is 'secure enough'. See the difference?
Amen to that. Society's insistance on sexualizing everything and bashing 1/2 the planet's population for any and everything gets really tiresome, it's nice to see a mature character here n there through the dullness of today's climate.Teek wrote:Maybe being older and from a different generation we have a more mature attitude about it. We also didn't grow up in a world where everything was sexualized via extreme and inappropriate commercialism....
