You're on the wrong track bro ... or is that deliberate?
Ever seen us comment about FB in any way or are you just making misplaced assumptions? FB has never been the issue here so let's not take it there.
And as stated, yes ... when we set up the official forum FB group, they'll work side by side, enhancing each other.

While you were asking peoples opinion on the vote thread ... did you see ANY form of intervention or censorship?
What are you saying here?
As the vote option (nr 2) was about a fundamental TB1600 issue, do you not think this could have something we have a right to, when we are ready?
Along the same lines, when announcing the FB page, did you state anywhere that this is not an offcial forum page (that's what the vote was about, remember?)?
Just sayin'

Why would we PM you after the fact?
Surely you've got things back to front. 
4. "20 votes or 1% percent of members were in favour of a FB page". I guess I should have said the vote was 50 - 50 of "ACTIVE" members. Surely your not going to claim a vote for the negative from people who joined and have never been heard of since, and now that you are quoting votes, why would you mention that you would have an "OPEN" FB page, if or when you decide we can have one, when I think only one person voted for that |
|
Because we consider that vote irrelevant in it's conception (as set out) and authority and ignored it.
We have specific parameters to cater to when the time comes.
| It's been a month since any bump on the FB vote thread, so I assumed if the admins were going to do anything, sufficient time had lapsed. |
|
And at that point you thought it was an appropriate time (or anytime before that) to ask us if anything was in the works, right?

By all means enjoy being a member of that group on FB (as you obviously already are) but let's skip the general commentary on the pros and cons.
Nobody was discussing that if you read my posts carefully.

What is a pity? The fact that as operators here we maintain the right to a forum FB page?
Do you think it unreasonable or emotional? What's your point?
I thought my point was clear, "Which is a real pity, it seems convenient and the two could be complimentary".
Perhaps it wasn't clear due to it not being quoted in it's entirety?
" The fact that as operators here we maintain the right to a forum FB page?
Do you think it unreasonable or emotional?"
I think my view on this is clear too, Smitty wrote, "If you would like to set up an official page include the .com or call it whatever you like and I would be more than happy to delete the newly created page."
Brad has clearly said he will delete the page should you start one.
Seems reasonable to me.
"By all means enjoy being a member of that group on FB (as you obviously already are) but let's skip the general commentary on the pros and cons."
I didn't realise that I'm not allowed to discuss the pro's and con's of a topical issue on this forum?
"Nobody was discussing that if you read my posts carefully."
Am I only allowed to comment on what you've written in your post?
I apologise, I did not understand those rules.

Forget what Smitty may or may not have said, it's not relevant to my question. Do you think there is anything unreasonable or emotional about my above statement/question?

| | Posted : 19 May 2014 - 18:30 Post title : Re: Facebook (Re: Bedouin) | | | Personal opinion on this is people need to use social media as a necessary evil and develop a social life. I hate Facebook because people wrap their lives around it, but I do use FB for American Legion Riders events and see photos of my family that I would otherwise never get to see. I hate banter on websites, but use them to gain technical knowledge. Except for tire threads. I have already had my fill of them.
Modern technology is good for some things, but social media has caused more problems between people than good. As I see it doing here. I don't need to see where people eat their lunch, what they had for lunch, or where they shit it out. Nor do I need a joke thread or feel the need to reply to every post. People just need to get on their bikes and ride.
Just my 2 centavos.

Mickey,
Let me get this straight....."you hate banter on web sites , you only use them to gain technical information". "you don't need a joke thread" ?
Just my 2 centavos , but your a strange bit of gear mate !
I , for one would hate to be sitting next to you in a pub or group situation .
Are you a hermit ?
My guess is that your very much a loner , shame about that.

You guessed wrong. I actually prefer a social life to social media. I am very outgoing in public and will be the first to come up and shake your hand. What I hate is when I go out with friends and see everyone around looking at their cellphones. My friends and I stack ours on the table and the first one to looks at theirs before the night is over pays the dinner bill. Social media, a necessary evil, is destroying peoples ability to communicate through vocal means. Just look at the local kids to see this.
