Are the censors asleep at the switch or is this deliberate bias? This is a game changer if the f-bomb is no longer taboo. This is just a test: Cocksucker, motherfucker, eat bag of shit!
I wasn't aware the content of Jeremy's video was to be taken serious, I'm sorry if I've made a game out of material with such valuable and educational content. Not being an elite rider myself I guess I just missed the point, I'm truly sorry if I've offended any of MBM's elite riders. You are an inspiration to us all.
5 days and not a peep from the watchers? Bias wins hands down! Jeremy I'm sorry that I had to use your video to make a point but opportunities like this must be capitalized upon when they come along. Please don't think that any of my comments are directed at you. I appreciate that you offered to have the post removed if it "broken a rule". This simple fact is the rules are different depending on who you are and how long it's been since the watchers got laid. Don't get me wrong I think there is a need for oversight but when a judgement call is made the judge should be prepared to defend his judgement.
Personally I love the video, I think it illustrates perfectly how silly it is for someone to revel in being at the front of the pack on a weekend ride consisting of middle aged professionals who have lives far removed from cycling and senior citizens enjoying being active in their retirement.
But really its more important to trash the club publicly time and time again and keep others who might consider joining and being active outside away. You do a better job of that than anyone I know, Jodi.
And again the question is dodged. Bias? Scott, you sat in an MBM meeting and said you wanted the content of the blog be suitable for your kids to read. So where was the outcry about the content of this video? I'm sure you feel like you're speaking from an informed position when you accuse me of driving people away from the club but I have a very intelligent group of people that I ride with that are very capable of making decisions for themselves and although they might not be as vocal as me they don't see MBM as a the nirvana of bike clubs. And how dare any of you for saying I don't support MBM. I held you and Brain's hands when you first came to the club and had great hopes that you both would do the same for others when you became accomplished riders.
Apparently you're so busy chugging the MBM cool-aid you've overlooked a little group called the Donuts. I don't keep people from exercising outdoors. I give them a place to go after you've alienated them. Do you really think I'm so compelling that I convince people to ride with The Donuts? That's just another insult to the people I ride with. No wonder they don't ride with the club, you think they're so dumb they would follow me? THEY HAVE MINDS OF THEIR OWN an
Well, I will again reiterate that I did not post this video with the intention of offending anyone or breaking any rules. Obviously, that is not the issue here but I'm not sure I understand the issue. I don't necessarily need to either. All I can say is that it is clear that there are people who care about the future of this club which is why this discussion is happening in the first place. I enjoy riding with everyone. Frankly, it doesn't matter to me. I've met a lot of fun people to ride with on all sides of this (whatever this is). I just like riding, have become a stronger rider since meeting the club, and enjoy the forest any time I can get out there. So, if we could get back to that instead of whatever this is called, that would be helpful. Doesn't really matter how or why this started, at least not to me. Thanks for reading...I'll take down the post tomorrow assuming I have that power and know-how to do so.
Jeremy, please leave the post up. The issue here is that in the past, posts and comments have been removed because the content wasn't to the liking of the moral caretakers of the club. In almost every instance this content contained no profanity.( one comment was removed for a beer reference) When club members and officers questioned why the content was removed NO explanations were given. So along comes Jeremy, he's a nice guy, he's liked by everyone and he posts a funny video with the f-bomb in it. Now in the past the censors would have blown a fuse for posting content with the f-bomb, but Jeremy is a nice guy and he didn't know how these things worked, and club elections are a couple weeks away, so we'll just play dumb and act like nothing happened. Well now the problem is all those folks that had their funny posts and comments removed are saying "WTF"? This is deliberate BIAS and this is what makes people feel like they are second class club members or keeps them from joining the club at all. Now I'm sure there are club elites that think I posted every one of those comments that got removed but I can assure you I did not, but wished I was funny enough to have thought of them. So as a result of having their funny comments censored the authors did what any RED BLOODED MERICANS, YES I SAID MERICANS, would do, they started fucking with the establishment. So months down the road, here we are and as usual the club elites blame me for playing games and trashing the club when in reality they created this problem I merely had the balls to point it out. I hope this cleared things up for you Jeremy.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm.
I don't think anybody else here thought there was a game . . .
But now I get it: The Donut King is playing a game.
