jake and the ladies who hate him

[klrlister]

Regarding Jake.... Again, He is NOT banned, just in moderated status due to prior colorful postings I assume. I did not place him in this status. I just inherited it. He threw the gauntlet down basically challenging me to put it to a vote on the list. What am I afraid of etc. So I am going to open a poll just like he asked. I am going to put it to a vote. Do you, the list want him to be able to post anything he wants? Please be aware, that nobody is able to post "whatever" they want. He thinks he should be able to. But if the list wants him back, I will take him off of moderated status. Please VOTE! Poll to be opened shortly. Thanks. Scott List Mod

I have no problem with Jake or anybody else saying what they want. I guess if you put NKLR on it, why not? Criswell klrlister wrote:

Hi All, Personally speaking I'd like to see Jake here on an unmoderated status. There are times that appropriate responses to questions are delayed due to his moderated status and as a result the list suffers. There is a time and place for pissing contests and I for one don't think that this list is that place. As you are all aware there are probably as many personalities on this list as there are listers. Some people just take life to seriously like the guy that threatened to shoot me between the eyes when I suggested that Canadians would never approve of the right to "BARE" arms. Now before the death threats roll in here again look at the spelling. BARE is meant to refer to short sleeve or sleeveless garb not carrying guns. It's just too damm cold in Canada to go round half naked al the time. A lot of what has transpired in the past is IMHO more of an issue of placing personalities before principals not the other way round. Jake may be opinioned but then so am I. I don't think Bogdan can sing that well though his harp skills are up there. Millerized looks damm scary in pajamas with or without the assault rifle mounted on his trusty steed and I believe that this Fred Hink character is actually a bot that scans our list and inserts very accurate, informed canned responses, as well as fast service, automatically just to keep us happy. Hell, people look at me like I'm a nut when I tell them that I just did 10,000 Klm on The Mile Muncher just cuz I wanted to do all that I could to make sure a friend that hadn't ridden for 6 year made it home safe from Atlanta on his new Harley. I've sat and chatted with Jake, argued some points with him and listened to his rants on certain topics. Do I agree with everything he says? Not on your life! Do I listen to what he has to say? Yes, and then I make my own decisions. Jake has been a part of this list longer than most of us. He has both experience and color to add here and I for one would like to see him treated like the rest of us would like to be treated. He is and continues to be an Ambassador where the KLR and promoting a fellowship among riders is concerned. Just mention that you are going to be within 500 miles of Milford and you'll have a tour guide, cook, B&B operator not to mention a pretty good machinist at your disposal. Not like that rat on an '04 KLR in Kansas that refused to wave as I passed him going the opposite direction in a blinding rain storm. Principals before personalities is one of my favorite AA slogans and one which I follow daily. So, my vote is for "unmoderated status" and if he flips out I'll personally ride down there and hit him with a pound of back bacon.

Roclore1, Unfortunately Jim's comment was not a homo phobic comment but was referring the the self-locking countershaft nut's that Jake sells. The list has always joked about Jake's nuts, but the right one (correct) and the left one.
