Often wondered the same about you. This is meant to be a serious question, but what is the benefit, either for you personally or for the group, for you to be on here and 99% of your post content to be on this or the kartoon corner thread? I understand to a certain degree that this thread is a place for other people that use this site PRIMARILY as a motorcycle resource to discuss politics, but for you it seems as though these political threads are largely the only reason you post. It is perplexing.carnivorous chicken said:Agreed, don't know why he is still here.

First off thanks for the answer. Second off you read most of what said in the wrong context. I never used the term bothered. I used the terms "wondered" and "perplexed". Those don't mean the same as bothered. Its not hard to notice when a once active and contributing member (you) goes from posting content relative to the forum itself to posting mostly in a non relative (to the forum) set of threads. Once its noticed, its even less hard to click on the posters profile (yours) and notice that page after page of posts are largely on two threads and there is very little substance on forum related topics. Questions can be answered without having to be on the defensive man.carnivorous chicken said:Happy to answer.
I've been here for a number of years, and admittedly posted much more about bikes in the past. It seems to me overall traffic here has declined -- someone correct me if I am wrong -- so perhaps there is less for me to engage with (although the two threads you cite aren't the only two I interact with). I moved, and reduced the number of bikes I own and work on to two. I post more on SOHC4 and Honda twins because I'm moved away from interest in cafe bikes (although I am still interested in cafe bikes) and more towards stock machines. I come here and lurk build threads and others, but don't do a lot of responding. I for one am also amazed at the shit show that American politics has become. It was interesting to hear Trump supporters' rationales, although they have mostly stopped posting. I also work on a computer most of the day, so like many other people here I check in every once in a while to kill time and see if there is anything interesting.
If it bothers you so much, perhaps you should ignore this thread -- after all, it has been about politics from the start. It has attracted the occasional sociopath/misanthrope in the past, and I'm usually happy to call that shit out which for some reason irks some people. I'm flattered that you spend time thinking about me and what I post, but unless I'm breaking rules I am not sure why you are so bothered. I like bikes. I like talking about politics. Isn't that enough?
In a similar reply to Mr. Chickens, I never said anything about rules. It was a question, one which he answered, though I am sure he is more than happy to have you backing him up.

I think you already know the answer to that question.Sav0r said:Did you just cherry pick that sentence to make your response easy?
Generally when someone says "Why are you even here?" there's an implication, don't you think? Why else would you take the time to write?Hurco550 said:Questions can be answered without having to be on the defensive man.
Who are you quoting? because "why are you even here?" are not the words I wrote.carnivorous chicken said:Generally when someone says "Why are you even here?" there's an implication, don't you think?

I do envy your ability to always be right, even if its only in your own mind.carnivorous chicken said:I know you are but what am I?
Look up "paraphrase."
PS. Last word.
