Er, I am kinda the one who is pushing for the resuscitation. BARF is community, not just a moto forum. There is a huge amount of knowledge and wisdom to be shared here. Some of us enjoy the PoliSink, and we kind of think that those who don’t, don’t have to look and participate.

That's great. Literally I've recently gone back to an old motorcycle forum and post this exact sentiment. Those other forums are bike specific and they just do not have what's going on here.

This thread is getting a lot of input. I have a suggestion to those like me who want the political forum back. I someone posts something you do not agree with and someone posts a reply you do agree with. Think for a minute before adding your 2 cents. Just click the thumbs up button on the reply. Piling on is one of the main reasons the Political Forum went away. My :2cents

It's difficult to not go with the first knee jerk reaction; there is always one little word that may hold the answer. Why? Why would you say that? Why do you think that? Why in your opinion is that wrong, right, OK, not ok? Stop talking and listen.
 
interesting turn of events. yeah, i’m in. i do have a couple of preliminary thoughts though. a) seems to me a tall order to ask a bunch of moto riders to dial it back. not what we’re generally predisposed to do. not in our DNA. personally, will never apologize for that. and b) here’s pretty much my approach to the subject (and truth be told, pretty much everything)...

Statements like this make it real difficult to be civil. But I'm going to try.

lol - please to look up the difference between syndrome (a characteristic combination of opinions), versus what is blatantly obvious (easily observed).

i’m only answering what TDS stands for in this context because Butch asked. don’t shoot the messenger.

thanks.
 
Only slightly off topic, LB posted a 4 Non Blondes vid. I looked it up and they are playing at the Great American Music Hall next week. What a great venue! I am now on the waitlist.
 
I was texting my brother earlier this afternoon on why he should stop using abbreviations and emojis unless he is sure everyone knows their meanings. The last few posts support my view.

So true and it changes with your age and background.

TDS is Total Dissolved Solids for me 10 years in the tomato canneries.
TMI is still Three Mile Island, age
MAGA is Mexican American Golf Association, group I golfed with after work.
 
I’m gettin’ on but enjoy new webspeak, easy enough to look up. I’d offer up Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome here but TWT is prolly spot on and I didn’t call her Shirley. Not in the market today to bicker and argue over oo killed oom in the proverbial barf gall bladder. Would be interesting to lurk occasionally tho.
