Mike, you're right that Pov's trifecta of opinions can be totally unrelated. I'd say its coincidental.
I think Edward had a decent post, in that he mention, its the characters of these riders that we talk most about because, well, its fun. That is if we were actually going to be posting seriously on this thread. I'm not sure what field McKenz came from though to create this thread now, since nothing in the news sparked it, but then again, I suppose its all for the cosmic balance of it all, considering Mental's lame attempt at a pseudo-predictions thread.
Stoner fans have bragging rights. No doubt. He's the champ and the current man to beat. And at the moment, the fastest man on the planet. Now, I have been hearing this indictment about Stoner's whining for a number of years. Some of which, I'd chalk up to the Rossi mind-game Rossi fan rivalry, as you suggest. But, I've detected this mild flaw in Stoner really accelerate this past year. I don't know if its because of new pressures, or his new status, or cockiness, or vindication/vendetta aspect of it all, etc. etc., but the increase is real! Now another thing I've notice is a number of his fans turned into exactly, and in some cases much much worse, than what they had previously opposed in fanmanship (if that's even a word). BM calling out Talps, that's actually hilarious, because Talps is a good example of what Mr. Squigz, Mental, and few others have become. I didn't really put BM, Scotty, or Pinks in that category, and in fact, I have more respect for them, because they've always been the mirror of Talps, no holds bar fanboy; but these neo-boppers, like Squigz & mental, and a few others (I'll remember their names as they pop up), they are way worse (Btw, Pov and I's exchange is something different, he just resists change our of fear when he, understandably, doesn't understand what's happening). Why? Because of their blatant hypocrisy, or should I say, hypocrazy. They simply can't accept absolutely nothing, in the most mild, said bad about Stoner. Why? Why? The dude is badass with a mild speaking flaw, can't we all let it go at that, accept it, and move on? That is were they went crazy! I'd say, this is 'the single most contributing factor' to the contentions vibe around here. (That, and my constant egging on for my personal pleasure). That is where they have stepped into the real of neo-boopers, except, like the which hunters who came here for religious freedom, became fixated on narrow-mindess. I like to wind them up. Why? because they're plum crazy. The good thing is, there still some surviving respectable Stoner fans, yourself, Friz, Gaz, Baf, etc. This thread really didn't deserve a serious post as much as the ........ prediction thread didn't deserve one. I was happy we were talking about midgets (yes, still evil) and roller coasters, and the birth origins of AC/DC. That's where these threads belongs, in the realm of ........ and slap-stick comedy.
Now, lets get back on topic.
