First of all, let me say that TRIKE TALK.com has an absolutely fantastic Member Base...100% of the Folks here are courteous, friendly, and respectful of All the Other Members 99.9% of the time.....Today, I want to discuss that .1% of the time that a very, very tiny amount of Folks here fall off the "Courtesy Wagon"........
Forum Posting for starters, is much different than in person conversations due to the total lack of facial expressions, hand gestures, and even a tossed in chuckle or two. Some Folks are also not very good at expressing Themselves in type. They may be thinking one thing but what They've typed sounds entirely different to the Folks reading it.....Then, there are the Folks that think They can be deliberately mean spirited to Someone that's a Member on a Forum, and keep getting away with doing it over and over. Maybe They don't personally like that particular Person, or share totally different views on most Topics of conversation, whether it's Tech related, Riding Style, Trike Brand or Type, etc.
These "pokes" will not be tolerated very long here at TRIKE TALK.com. There are lots of other Forums out there for you to join if this is, in anyway, what You consider fun or an agenda-based daily or weekly mission.
Please try to be respectful of Everyone here in Your Posts and Thread Subjects, and participate with the Other Great Members in a friendly, courteous manner. The TRIKE TALK.com STAFF and Membership expect it, and have a right to it. To remain the Best Trike Forum on the Internet, and continue to grow, we must meet this criteria.
If You post it, and You know Your attitude is not so good at the moment, re-read it, think about it, and if necessary, delete it or re-write it before hitting the Submit Button. The TRIKE TALK.com STAFF will have to take action that we never, ever want to take if this becomes an excessive "habit". .1% is a habit if it continues...Lets All try really hard to adhere to common politeness in Our Posting.....THANKS, and hope to see a lot of You at the TRIKE TALK/TOI ANNUAL RALLY 2013 IN EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS next week...Members at Our RALLYS are always full of Smiling Facial Expressions.....ThumbUp
