One of the things that I have found refreshing on Spyderlovers is that folks have kept to the subject at hand with very little anger/insults flying. What has happened in this thread reminds me of a forum that I was on for a different brand of bike (I will not name that forum). That forum started out being pleasant and civil in the threads that dealt with the bike. The off-topic thread is where folks "let loose." However, over the course of a year and a half, that changed dramatically. Vulgar language became common place, pictures bordered on pornography, and it just became an unpleasant place to be. No thread could stay on topic without digressing into what I just mentioned. I truly hope that what this thread has become will be the exception on Spyderlovers, and not the beginning of a down hill slide.
Now, before someone flames me because of my screen name, I know there are some already formulating how to respond, my faith has nothing to do with what I have posted. What I posted is based on simply showing respect to each other. If you disagree with a post, fine, state your position without insult. That is the civil thing to do. I love this forum and I hope that it does not turn into the other forum I was a member of.

You mean there is an actual moral ground on SL's?

Im sorry to disappoint you Jack, but my avatar was chosen to represent my Irish heritage - no intent whatsoever for religious connotations. Have a nice day.

Racist?
Quite amazing that referring to a hoodie or robbery can be offensive OR racist... Who is making the inference or suggestion there?? certainly not the OP. Would seem making that connection is more troubling.

my thoughts exactly.
Ebay seems to be full of Can-Am shirts made infringing on copyrighted material as well.
I think Can-Am (BRP) needs to offer more choices for us Spyder lovers in their line up of clothing. I look at them in their accessorie catalog every year, and nothing usually interests me, but hey everyone has their one tastes for what they like.

That would be me, if you're referring to post #20. I could care less what you or your buddy JAS POWER thinks. I'll say what I want to say. If it offends you, too bad. And, by the way, I have a few hoodies myself that I wear. I stand by what I said in post #20.

Oh, I get it, it's okay for you to make a statement, but no one else can.

Nobody said that. But, you often go there when you're at a loss for a thoughtful response I've noticed.

Let me break it down for you. He said he found it troubling for a connection between hoodie and racist; that would be me he was referring to. Here's how I got there: hoodie was mentioned along with the urge to rob a 7-11. Unless you've been living under a rock, gangsta style clothing can include hoodies. So, what was originally supposed to be funny, could be construed as racist, as evidenced by one of CelticCross's post. So, I'm not sure why he found my connection troubling.
And, where you often go is to instigate. You noticed he did start name calling, didn't you?

I prefer to think of what I do is provoke thoughtful responses to issues or alternative viewpoints.

In case anyone cares about what this post started as....
I received an email stating my order isn't going to make it before Christmas.... looks like it'll be the 28th.
But when they arrive I'll take a picture and post it.
BTW I ordered long sleeve T-shirts not the hooded sweatshirt.
It's a 21 now....,BUT I like being on top
