BSJ Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Too cold in Northern Thailand! I wasn't cold this morning, what on earth are you talking about? All I had on was a singlet, a T-shirt, a nylon Honda jacket, a poncho, knitted gloves and a beany. And I was quite comfortable until about 10.00am when I had to go shopping in Sak Lek.

ll2 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) After posters sitting in their beautiful but fragile ivory towers accusing people as fan boys got quiet, problems are over. We had some soul and character problems. It looks like it is over as well. Grammar nazis got over their habit. Jealous attackers have gone guiet too. People start to respect others's ideas a bit more. And of course many forums around but nothing is as local and real as this one. Easy to meet with new people as well unlike a forum in usa and have many friends here so I like this forum. Edited January 16, 2015 by ll2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_boo Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Mainly evolving around my dislike of small bikes. All those small bikes blowing by you is the reason right? Note: Just dipping my toe in the water seeing if I get a nibble. But I don't ever remember you and I going back and forth about smaller displacement bikes. Perhaps other things, but I don't hold grudges and the disagreements must have not lasted enough posts (or been uncivil enough) for them to brand you in my mind as someone I'd get into a scrap with every chance I got. Same with wantan...I remember people calling him a troll but I wouldn't denigrate him as such...so whatever. And of course there's ll2 who is mostly ok but he does occasionally get a pencil up his arse sideways that he needs dug out now and again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebula Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I d say start this thread about the 250/300 cc relevance. May be, i hope thrre will be videos with those riding bigger bikes through bangkok traffic and proving is as easy as the 250/300 s. There are such but usually with flowing traffic or wide lanes. Second as you said you miss some posters , I can add that I would be glad if at least some of them are back since they were good posters. i remember KSR s last thread where he complained about someoen hanging his laundry on his cbr. All the <deleted> that joined to troll led to his disapreance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unable to find reference to NAZI or nazi as an accepted usage. Nazi. papa like lower case okay 75%. Not necessarily. I can think of SONAR (SOund NAvigation and Ranging), RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) at least that are acronyms that use 2 consecutive letters to form the new word. Note that to qualify for status as an acronym, rather than an abbreviation or initalism, the word has to be pronounceable. NAZI (or nazi) is definitely pronounceable. Think of other acronyms (NATO, et al) and notice they are all capitalised unless they are anacronyms...in which case they are not capitalised with the exception of normal rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaRacer Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I've never cared about feuds between posters-bikers or groups. I only ever had an argument with one guy who was trolling other people's threads, saying how gay saddlebags are and what a real man he is. Don't know if he's part of a group though. The forum is about bikes and riding in Thailand. If we need those old conflicts and immature bickering again just to keep it interesting, it would be a sad state of affairs indeed..

I started browsing the forum when I bought a Ninja 250 about 3 years ago. I've since gotten much more in to riding. I have been checking it out ever since because of the new bikes being introduced during that time - the Honda 500's, the Kawasaki 300's, the Honda 650's etc. I'm a poster on a couple of motorcycle forums and never signed up to this one because reading LL2's posts simply turned me off it. The motorcycle forums I use that don't have him there are better for it. Since I started following the forum around the time the Honda 500's came out, a lot of regular posters on here have stopped posting and moved to other forums... I don't really wonder why.
