Apparrently I've taken your post out of context or possibly the context has changed. At any rate, I'll just agree and move on.

Forgive me Brian, I thought you were a member over there, just no longer actively participating. IIRC there are I think several Kiwi's over there, and actually only a couple/few make you guys look bad, the rest generally are nice well behaved guys. Bad thing is that the person referred too at times has seemed almost that way too, almost like he's bi-polar or something. But if it wasn't you, then I'm pretty sure there was someone over there claiming to be you that got upset and stormed off. That's why Greg and Nate were puzzled over you posting this here rather than there. I'm proposing it's possible that one of the two Kiwi troublemakers over there was posing as you and giving you a bad name over there.Originally posted by b.walker5 View PostCy

Oops.
Ok Cy, at the risk of getting serious egg on my face, now that you mention it, I do actually recall logging on at some stage. Can't remember exactly when and can't remember why. Maybe it was to issue a similar disclaimer or something, but I have certainly not been active since and can count on one hand the number of times I've visited out of curiosity since the sites inception.1980 SG.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for clearifying things.
I, for one, can & do appreciate that.
Things have been said over there about New Zealander's, because of the way they constantly post nothing but nasty, hateful and lewd comments to us. Can't have a conversation at all with them!
The one's that are doing that have nothing but trash to contribute, and it gets really old. I get sick of it, myself... just wish they'd learn to be civil and contribute something decent.
At first, I thought the best way to handle them was simply to totally ignore them... thinking they'd get bored and move on. But they don't. They feed on feedback.
Occaisionally, I get fed up with their nonsense, and will post something of a personal response. Funny thing I've noticed, several times I did... that was the last post in the thread.
I had no clue who those posters are, but I hoped they weren't representative of all New Zealanders. Glad to know they're not! I really didn't figure they were.
I know New Zealand's had it's share of earthquakes, etc. as of late. Truth is, most of us were concerned for their safety, in spite of how they post.
You know the old saying, respects a 2-way street. I just never understood why the one's that post that sort of trash never figure that out?
Thank you for your post, Brian.

What the hell's the matter with you Greg? Did your mother not give you enough toys to play with when you were a kid or something?
You take a freely available picture that I have uploaded to various sites on the net, create a fictitious profile on a free to register website and try to tag it to me. Real mature. You almost got it right too, except that I haven't been 39 for a considerable number of years now.
Fortunately it appears that I know a little more about the web than you do. That page was easy to hack and even easier to delete.1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)

That's what I found when I searched for Brian Walker in NZ. The link used to work until bwalker found out I had it. Strange coincidence?Originally posted by natemoen View Post
It seems the picture and all has been all of a sudden removed from Bikepics. Funny, it was there a couple hours ago. Thats where I got that URL.
Do a seartch yourself and you'll com up with the same thing.

Sadly, Greg seems to be conducting some sort of vendetta against me, so I will no longer be commenting on any further discussion on the subject, lest it be misconstrued and twisted to suit his purposes.1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)

Yeah, the link worked until I let walker know I had found it. I think he may have deleated his account over there in a feeble attempt to cover it up.
Too, bad, it was a nice pic of a black SG I believe.Greg

If you just hold the cursor on the link in Google and don't click, an arrow comes up to the right of the link and you can see it's been cached.. just hold your cursor over that arrow also, then the link comes up to the right if you want... or not. But then you can see the bike... or not.
Most links that have been around for any length of time are cached and you can do this.Last edited by trbig; 10-11-2011, 05:19 PM.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

I just have to say... I didn't come back on this site to stir up more crap, and hope others feel the same way. What happens on the other site should stay there, and I'm sorry Brian felt the need to carry it back over to here. Most knew it was him anyway, with them both always being signed in here and there at the exact same time and him and Zip having the exact same stories about Burt Monroe and his family knowing them.. blah blah.. along with other things there's no need to get into, so it's not just blind blame.
BUT.. my point is.. it doesn't matter over here, shouldn't be discussed here, and I would hope this dies here.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
