You should give up the day jobs Krops and hang out on here more often....with 3 years of posting 18hrs a day you might catch up with the guy with 20'000+ posts

I posted 1 clean and non controversial race take in your forum after PI and my IP was summararily banned fm the forum and website. I cant even read your writeups. Thats fine if you dont want my opinion on the forum but for the life of me dont understand why you would ban people from reading your work

Well to be honest Krops, something I learned a long time ago is that in the overall scheme of life, those things in the Middle East and elsewhere, you really can't waste time worrying about it if it has no real impact on your day to day life.
You might consider it a myopic worldview, but this is coming from someone who tends to be very well aware of current events. Unless you live in those places, there's not much you can do to affect any sort of change in the outcome there. Outcomes in places like that are dictated by a select few, and we have no real say in the process. It might be selfish, but we're all selfish on some level, and frankly I have to worry about my own day-to-day life before worrying about all of the horrors of the world. I take the long view that instead of being bogged down over these things, celebrate and enjoy the good in your own life as well as life at large.
Wringing your hands and saying how awful it is there might make some feel better even though it does nothing to change what the reality there is.
Me?
I'd rather focus on enjoying motorcycle racing along with the many other things I enjoy. Big deal. If you took any of those people out of the hellhole over there and put them into our shoes, they'd eventually turn into us; screaming over MM vs VR. Just the nature of the game.

Who said anything about changing the world with talking about MotoGP on here?
That's a straw man if there ever was one.

My point is simply, imagine spending all your time worrying about every last thing (I know because I've been there, I used to flip out over .... in the news all the time years ago) and making yourself miserable in the process? Is there an upside to any of it? I determined there was not.
I try and help people out I come across in my own life since that's going to have an actual real impact out there.
Beating my chest over what say Obama should or should not be doing in Syria at this given moment, may make me feel like I care, but is anything on the ground in Syria going to change over it? No. Unless I have a direct pipeline to Obama himself, there's jack .... I can do over it....and even if I could speak with him directly, he's still going to make decisions based on whatever he knows.
Maybe 500 to a 1000 people on this planet control the fate of 6 billion at any given time.
I don't delude myself into thinking caring is going to make any real difference.
The world is a terrible place, that's never changing no matter what year you look at past, present, and future.
But it also can be a good place. Enjoy it while your here...not enjoying it would be a ....... waste.

i don't disagree bro.
how can i be bothered by that which i can't see from my beautiful castle?
it's not our fault that organizations that do good need money and support and i just don't feel like giving it to them is giving me the same pleasure as rock cocaine.

No, not at all.
I said your comment was a straw man which it was, and it had nothing to do with anything I was saying.
And if you want me to address the comment as is: no one here actually believes posting what they do about MotoGP is going to change anything about MotoGP.
It's a place to discuss MotoGP.
Bringing up how awful the world at large is, means precisely what?
If we wanted to talk about that, we'd all congregate on a news site to discuss such things. Well maybe some of us do, but on here, we came primarily to talk motorcycle racing. We're all aware of the world at large, doesn't mean we can't have passion, or shouldn't have passion about motorcycle racing.
Denying yourself enjoyment and pleasure because someone might be suffering elsewhere is a waste.

Well you do disagree.
Point is, there's nothing wrong with either approach.
If you want to worry about every last thing, have at it.
Just because I don't give a .... about every last thing out there doesn't make me any less of a person. Like I said, I help people who are within my immediate range to help. You can disagree with my approach, and I can disagree with yours. Doesn't mean either one of us is more right than the other. I'm just more pragmatic than you are. Charity is great, but do you think all of your money is making it to the people who need it? It's not.
