There has been a move to PC stuff here.

Any controversial topic that has a lively discussion is deemed "political" and zapped.  Topics that are considered "political" are deleted before they become a discussion topic.  In other words censored before they become a controversy and not "political".  The rules of the board are "political" topics are banned not topics that are controversial.

Tom,

Remember, This is Luap's forum.  It exists at his whim and by his direction.  It is his wish that Wildguzzi be a refuge from the usual BS found on internet forums. 

If controversial and political discussion is what you seek, it's easy to find.  Elsewhere.

Anyone who has any questions on the direction of Wildguzzi and its moderation are welcomed to email or PM Luap.

Mike and Dusty,

First of all I respect your work as moderators. 

Controversial or lively discussions do not equal "political".  Political is about politics, political parties, politicians, government policy etc.

There's a thread started that the OP thinks that he should no longer be on the forum because he no longer owns an MG.  We have at different National rallies owners that show on other bikes than MG and also their friends that show up on other brands.

To draw a direct connection between controversy and political is wrong.  While controversial can be political.  We won't know without a discussion.

Moderators are as human as the rest of us.
I'm not stepping up to moderate jack, and I would guess a great number here wouldn't
want the "hot seat" either.
What system works ALL the time anyway?
Rocker and Dusty seem like very different people, and it may have been intentional that they
both ended up as our Mods.

Not directed at any one here.
Just my take.

I'm a very political dude, with very strong g thought out opinions, and I lo e to talk politics.   At times I wish we were more free to talk about politics here,  but overall I think the modertors have done a very good job of keeping stuff of that doesn't  along here.

Funny that a topic about where is Lannis should lead to political commentary....

Maybe this entire thread is part of Lannis' experiment that he talked about in his last post before going underground.  Irony?  LOL

Just for the record.  I never said it wasn't Luap's forum.  For those that are newer to the form and would be from page 3 of sign-ups or before (Dusty and Mike Moderators) or (Rodekyll and Chet) moderators.  I know the rules.

I guess - in a manner of speaking (non-speaking?) sure. But more as an answer to the aggressive invitation to leave on the behalf of those perfectly capable of advancing their own invite as well as the ever present passive attack of throwing a thumbs up in a "yeah... what he said" salute of empty support.

Peppers for the rice I guess.

I think it's some sort of handbag fight. Almost certainly involving barnyard animals and soap. I might be wrong though.

He's commented about not wanting to be associated with certain types of lists , for example commie Nick's (rip), I wondered when I noticed him MIA if he felt this list was getting too blue?

If so, it's his imagination, he & I almost surely belong to the same political party yet b/c of some "moderate" comments like I don't think po-po should shoot at unarmed citizens that haven't done anything wrong, he'd be SURE I'm a bed-wetting lib & go at it! He took these supposed party lines way too far into the indefensible, untenable really.

Would like to see him take a break, come back & chill on being a political vanguard or just come back is OK too.

anyway, we need a few rabble rousers to stir things up.  We can't rely on Chad to take on the full burden.
