Well spotted, cos it wasn't in the first post.
Park was unoccupied at the time (but it could have been) , so not an issue as far as kids watching.

just making sure it does. why take chances? obviously people react strongly when disgusted. we dont want to disgust anyone.

Is it just me, but I can't help thinking you are over reacting somewhat to a relatively mild posting about what I'd seen during an afternoons rideout?
Well I was "disgusted" by their actions, although to be fair, "disgusted" is probably the wrong word.
Offended is closer. So it is all right to "offend", but not to be "offended" in your book?

if you want to start a debat about (homo)sexual behaviour in public and want to do something about it go discuss it on a forum that handles these topics. Carpe is not the place to DISCUSS this.
if you want to state your opinion, state in a calm and polite way, otherwise expect censoring/deleting.
the original topic was not deleted, its been quaranteened.

I agree, Carpe isn't the place, so why are you getting all uptight about it, and creating the debate? If the self righteous ones hadn't complained, then the thread would have died a death by about post 12!
Calm and polite .......... ? do you think my sign-in name is because of the weather?
Not deleted? just quaranteed ............ the difference to us non mods is what exactly?

and BTW, that topic has spoiled Basinc Instinct for me... -.- how rude ... ;-)
ah! possibly the real reason for your indignation perhaps!
On some other forums, when a post is moderated, at least a reason is given for the intervention, and occasionally the opportunity is given to retract or rephrase the "issue". No such chance here obviously.
Personally, along with Wickys' comment, I would like to know, for the record, just what exactly is causing the thread to be "lost".

ya i have to admit on re-reading the whole saga i do think the comments were quite blunt and hard hitting (something i can be good at too i think we'll all agree) and i did make some comments which were kind of an effort to make light of the situation, but it too pished me off when the topic was chopped into quarantine (i was goin to make a play on the word 'quarantine', but though i'd better not !!!). what bugs me a bit though is that in the past when there have been 'incidents' some people have sat idly by and let it go on and it's usually forgotten about fairly quickly or some people air their respective opinion in defence of another person or a given subject and it too seems to sort itself out and die down given time, as Dapleb says, this site usually 'self moderates', and i have to agree (or agrozzle even). either way i have been in situations (on the tube in London fer example) where i have been 'horrified by homosexual behaviour', basically i was green/naive to all of this when i first moved to London and found it odd even dealing with or working with gay/lesbian black or asian people !!! sad i know! but i soon got into the swing of things and realised i was johnny foreigner too and no better or worse than anyone else. Either way i'm fairly cool with all of it now cos i was the uncomfortable one at one stage and i decided to do something about it by just simply accepting all that went on around me, "each to their own" etc etc. Stormy i have had some root vegetables shoved up me arse though by a sminky Finnish Burd, but thats an old story on here by now !!!!

My tuppenceworth on the thread..............when I first read Stormy's post I found it offensive and immediately wondered how the homosexual members on Carpe would view it. Now that might sound rich coming from one who easily offends others with my acerbic tongue (f'nar, f'nar).
The self moderation on here does work pretty well but there are times when a little moderation is needed and IMHO this was one of them.
Now let's get back to good ol' slagging off and mo'bikes

TBH, since I stopped letting the dealers service the bike, it has been faultless (and upsidedown).
I presume that you are referring to the original (now rmoved) thread?
Do you mean my comments, or the replies to the original post? I never saw the last few posts cos it got canned before I read them.
Personally, I thought some of the one-word / one liners that got posted back were funny!
I mean, FFS, it was only a bloody fly on my visor ferchrissakes ...............

but that didn't stop you buying the very same bike though did it!!!!!!!

My tuppenceworth on the thread..............when I first read Stormy's post I found it offensive and immediately wondered how the homosexual members on Carpe would view it.
But again it come back to the overtly politically correct climate that we're now conditioned to conform with.
I'm not having a pop at certain factions of society but it's a fact that some of them now have carte blanche to do as they want, and anybody passing comment is considered racist, homophobic etc.
Look at these scenarios.....imagine Stormy's post said this....
"I saw two black blokes in the car park selling drugs and pimping".....racist.
"I saw two Moslem women in the bar trying to eat food with their veils down"......prejudice.
"Everywhere you go in that area it's blacks and Asians".......racist.
"I'm sick of all thse homosexuals running round with their gay parades and gay rights".....prejudice.
However....
"The US media is Zionist controlled and they have their own agenda"......acceptable.
"I'm not living anywhere near Gypsies"......acceptable.
"Our towns are being overun with Polish immigrants".....acceptable.
"The Welsh are a bunch of inbred sheepshaggers"....acceptable.
So you see that certain factions that are outside the norm are still fair game....while others have carte blanche to do what they like.....and generally milk it for what it's worth.
Over time, some of these factions could move into the "can't pass a comment group" so you better get all your shots in now while you still can.

The group that seems to complain most is the whinging WASP Mail reader, who yearn for the old days when the map was mostly pink and the groups you've referred to 'knew their place'.
Political incorrectness gives licence to extremists - I'd see that as worse
