Why, are you saying I shouldn't be able to politely express my opinion?

Are you saying we can't disagree with you?  Lots of things in life are out there, don't agree with them, don't go there.

Not the gun porn however.
thats now on the Main page.
Maybe they will change the name to the ZG/GTR And Gun Fanatics Forum?  ???

I just don't get it. I've seen you complaining about the gun talk a couple of times on this forum. What's the problem? If you don't like gun talk then just stay out of that forum. It's as simple as that I would think.

It's that it has no place on the main page.
I'd say the same thing if there was a recipe section instead. Although perhaps less passionately.

I'm not sure which of my lines you're reading between where I might have suggested that you shouldn't be able to express your polite opinion, can you point that out for me please?

The gun talk is not on the main page, it's in a separate section. I don't see you complaining about the Funny Pages section. This is a motorcycle forum, funny stuff shouldn't be allowed right?    ::)

Seeing such a low COG number posting regularly here I think is a very clear sign that their is good people on both sides of the fence (as I know that there is) who have simply been caught up in the whirlpool that the falling out created. Very soon the dust will settle and we should all be able to gather around the fire, kick a little dust with our boots, and with a red face stick a hand out in friendly gesture and get back to the business at hand BIKES and FRIENDSHIP....


huh...almost sounds like a merger...

With no emotion in my voice.... I have no idea how you've read that into what I've said. But one never knows does one?

Jeez, stop crying about it already  :deadhorse:

If you don't like it don't go, if you want to complain then the administrative forum is the place to go. :shoot:

I didn't like the Arena, but it served it's purpose. I went there occasionally but pretty much stayed away. I also didn't complain to have it closed.

Actually, I think you also read more into my being a long time member posting regularly on this forum.

With my C10, having had it for over 20 years, I had gotten to a point that I rarely posted on the forum, but supported COG by maintaining my membership.  I had an awareness of a "parting of the waters", but nothing more.

With getting used to the new bike, and having questions, I came to the forum for good information as always.

When I was provided with MUCH more information than I ever knew existed, as I said initially, I was very misinformed, or perhaps unaware would be a better word.

AGAIN, I do not want to proliferate political lines being drawn, or bad feelings, but this forum on this "domain" was begun under circumstances far different than being portrayed.

AND, as stated in one of the all time great movies..."that's all I have to say about that".
