Steve has ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT!!!!!

Over the last few years I've done a number of courses for developing soft skills (part of the being a consultant mumbo jumbo) and a large part of this is effective communication. SO much of the message you read into what someone is telling you is communicated through your body language, pitch and tone, and the speed of delivery rather than the words themselves. Whether you look into their eyes, etc .. I could go on ...

When you take that and look at a purely text medium (apart from smiley'semoticons) you can understand how easy it is to mis-communicate something, for someone to take what you've said the wrong way, out of context etc ... It's not surprising that it happens.

Lets all grab a BIG grain of salt and jam it down our necks and LIGHTEN UP!!!

Sheesh ...

Well said mate,

I enjoyed some of vmans posts and got a bit miffed by some, i beleive in live and let live and personally would have liked to have kept vman on board for entertainment value, BUT i can fully appreciate the MT having to take a stand and do what they did. The board is a public for forum for the majority. Enough warnings from various people were given and not heeded. Even though i may be criticised for following the herd but this is a club and we must follow what the elected members want. Its primararliy about riding Ducati's.

I was looking forward to meeting vman at the BMF but that didn't happen.

I've had various run ins with the police, but also have good friends who are in the job, its not an easy one, you can't tar everyone with the same brush.

I think its time to lay this one to rest, and wish vman good luck with his New Monster.

Dibble, i don't know you from Adam, i konow you met vman, but please reconsider your resignation.

lets enjoy our bikes, riding, and the pleasure we get, and that comes from someone who comes out with some inane crap on the board at times but hopefully it's all taken in context.
