    Just answered. Or do you not read the answered emails I get from you?
    Did not want to upset the good people more than I have already done.

    Please, I got enough political crap in the news, which I no longer watch due to it largely negative bend on everything .

    Keep politics out of the forum or I will stop visiting imtbtrails too . Which would suck cause I like it here .

    And Kioti, very well said. :thumbsup:

    Thank goodness indeed.

    Calling discussions in this thread racist is laughable to me. There’s a difference between racism and stereotypes but so many people are so quick to just call out racism.

    Please don’t visit here (our country), I surely won’t roll out a welcome mat for you. Also, isn’t your island part of Spain?

    No I just live here because the good climate and the mountains for biking. I am from a country where so many Americans have their roots. All the blonde that come from Vikings.

    And do not worry. I have no intension of coming.

    I am relaxed for sure.. just tired of the ignorant postings over the internet. I’m sure Johnny boy would be singing a different tune if he were at one of my barbecues but it’s easier to be a social justice warrior on a keyboard.

    Gotcha, so you live somewhere for reasons other than the culture yet you call out others when it’s convenient. Shall we get into Spain’s government and contributions to the EU or is that moot point since you’re just there for the superficial reasons?

    And if we ignore it long enough, and don't reply to it long enough, it goes away on its own. :thumbsup: (Yeah, I probably am the poster boy for failing to see that).

    I hear yah Bud! :thumbsup:

    Regardless...
    I have expectations on this site. I actually expect more of the imtbtrails hooligans. I expect folks to be civil to each other, and when someone says something out of line as John did... we work it out, as I have been offline.

    I think it’s easy to get frustrated with others from behind a keyboard, just like you said. Sometimes our daily lives have frustrations and we sit down on social media and someone says something that sparks us. But if we do want to have a positive environment, we want to take what others say with a grain of salt and always move to try to take the conversation in a positive direction. Fanning flames never makes it better, and in the eyes of the other we are not right.

    So! It’s late Sunday afternoon, grab a cold one and rejoice that you all don’t have a fractured pelvis like me, ha hah!:laugh:

    If truth is not truth and alternative truth is truth, then maybe the earth is still flat. The reason for all problems is believing it round.

    @john_hovard , your account has been Banned. Upon having discussions with you offline, I have found your core values not in alignment with imtbtrails and CERTAINLY not with mine. I don’t ban people for their beliefs but how they treat others on this sight. We have a code of attack issues, not each other. Both on and offline, I did not find that is how you want to conduct yourself.
    Your IP address as well has been banned.
    Like the famous Malcolm Reynolds once said, “Go run your little world”.
    Very dissapointed John_Hovard.

    Remember he was only here because he wanted to buy something from you. Otherwise there wasn’t anything that he could add to our community from overseas.

    It became very different offline with Johnny. He has a strong anti American view which I can not abide. The discussions were a little caustic in my view which is not how I operate. He asked to be deleted and I am glad he did. So he was not only deleted but also banned as I think we need to think about how we conduct ourselves long term. Not spontaneous good or bad.

    Negative my ChrisPBacon look alike!
    Sometimes you just gotta trust me that some things are best left private.
    Maybe you might consider that “parts” of that conversation “could” flame up topics that may cause further discontent on the site. Kinda like the FBI, not knowing things in the interest of National imtbtrails Security. :p
    If you would actually RIDE with me ever once in a while ( since we have NEVER actually met) you might know more schtuff! :rolleyes:

    After I woke up from the grand mal seizure I had, I thought the same thing.


    Chris P., it's the principles, you know. Greatness is judged by how animals/vulnerable/prisoners/the weak are treated. Great move by @Mikie.

    Thanks and good on you for trying to take it offline and do the right thing. Don’t have a clue what was said but the second it tilted anti American I would’ve had zero left to say other than bye bye mf’er. We all have our opinions but most leave em offline and just want to be buds and ride our bike:thumbsup:...
