So what happened here

[Doug]

@HSR things use to be more civil here.  Bantering was fine with minor feathers ruffled.  But it remained reasonable civil.  Seems things got pushed over the edge with the Badger deal and that's gone and past.  What's your take?

It would be nice to bring things back to a reasonable bantering civil level.

I started out at Trailconditons.com in 1996. 
The conversations and interests were far more entertaining back then as well as respect. No one dared talk to members like today. 

In 2000 GB was the snowmobile president and that’s about when politics really stared to take off because of the internet and cell phones.

Now it all sucks and I enjoy not being online. Only once in a great while. 
That said. There are a few here who are abhorrent members that are causing the decline here. It was never this bad when Rob was around.

Anyone remember when Rob and his wife rode 10,000 miles in one year? Was it 1998 99? Somewhere in there. 
Good times.

Was also on trailconditions back when.  Remember TOF stood for The Old Fart and was a good guy.  Like you said a lot more respectable and good information then. 👍

Good names from the past that had to jog my memory.  Agree with the comparison between then and now.

When someone who behaves like Trump is a role model the people follow suit.

Here is the answer. When POS like ^^ this poster comes over from HCS and don’t know enough to just STFU sometimes 

[Bontz]

You know how this is gonna play out @Doug ... you're gonna get a, "This place isn't for everyone, and if you don't like it maybe you should go elsewhere."  That's pretty much the canned response when people call Drama Queen out for being the stalking, obsessive, thread ruining dipshit she's become.

A lack of getting laid is what is happening here.

[Cold War]

people should be shuffling around and mumbling like old fools, now.

That whole Badger situation was bad but honestly it seems like it’s not just here but outside the forum also

Should post up a poll on who should be banned from the site, majority rules.

Lol.  Another victim.  Takes two to tango and saying that it is "sided" is absurd.  I'll give you a hint, you can't change other people you can only change what you do that other people react to.

Nah, you have no response and know it is right so you attack my intelligence to feel better about yourself.

Reread it.  Let it sink in.  Maybe you will get it.

I was there, and met a bunch of those folks back in the day.  Remember WItchwey, Roadie, Moonie, Wriz, etc., that whole NY crew?

Problem is someone who should be on that poll has keys to the back door and can change the results.

I still stay in touch with him on FB.  He and Bobby come to Maine to ride quite a bit, and hook up with Denny.  Denny is big into the drag racing scene and is friends with my cousin.  RIdden with all of them multiple times, great dudes.
