Well, I believe it's herpes.. :(

for me it was the realization that the vast majority of the new threads were focused on one of two things ; Politics, or guns. Decided I needed a bit of a break, ran into a hayabusa group on facebook, and took longer to come back than I originally intended.
 
well i am not as active due to my activism in guns and politics. I still talk to my org friends alot on facebook. but because i have grown in alot of ways...and have became more outspoken im going to lay it on ya ...its simple... the reason the org is slower is that some people are not as friendly as others, and it tends to alienate the masses. some are just down right judgmental. i have been a member since 2005. complained about the "divisions" back then. decided not to whine and started a org activity to bring more together with NO JUDGEMENT. (Haya's in the Hills) which i think has been a huge success and GIXERHP and I are planning this years in the beautiful Lake George area of NY. this year will be my 6th year putting this on with very faithful followers that come just about every year and always new folks too. All in all when it all comes down to why i hesitate to come here and post I FEEL UNWELCOME AND A LOWER CLASS PERSON. no this is not "open and friendly"...it may appear as such at first...but eventually those who "see each other often and click"....just stop noticing those who they haven't met or "clicked" with... there is i believe a "core" group that make up most of the posting...the rest just come and go either due to lack of interest, bike change, or feel shunned. especially now with *cough cough* 2 bashes?? seriously?? dont get me wrong...scar and I have had many long talks about many other subjects beyond the bike we all love and i consider him my friend on line that i could go to at any time to ask any question, even personal. and i cant wait for the day to meet him and shake his hand and treat him like a brother....BUT...i also recognize the beast....and knew it would eventually happen. no i dont think its in the best interest of the org. or a fair representation of what i always thought the org was..is....whatever. either way i am sure folks will have fun and meet great folks...but also...they will not meet others....my goal with haya's in the hills was for EVERYONE to be welcome. though i will say honestly i have "discouraged" after many years and hard soul searching one individual. it still bothers me as i try to accept everyone. but in the long run, he also made me (and my family) feel i didnt belong. so i too have grappled with why some just dont "make it" here. but in the end i still only ask of myself why I am not. because if i cant make it here and feel totally welcome, with all my stubbornness and ability to look past things. (yes GNBRETT i still will talk to you even though we butt heads)... how can anyone else who wants to feel welcome but does not have the patience that i have, ever expect to continue to post here with all the conflict. i am NOT a lower class person. I do NOT have to think like everyone else. i do NOT have to share peoples same brainwashed views on government or LEO's . i do NOT feel welcome , never have, probably never will...but for those future friends i may meet, and friends i have made... i stay. those who give me the "jeebies" about feeling less than welcome...believe it or not ill still give them the chance if i can meet them..but i am not holding my breath.

I'm sorry, but 5 post a day about thanks for letting me in the group I got my dog tags ........ really dude :laugh: I've watched that site since it began and that's about all it is at this point. Selling gear that makes money and promotes a single individual. Advertising for the stampede will start heating up soon....... is that really what gets you through the day. Did I miss it by far ?
