I hate to say this, but I think the OP has mis-placed his focus, I was the one that told him to Jam it.
But hey it won't be the first time a friend got in the crossfire, I'm not the kind of man to duck a punch and let it land on a bud without straightening it out before the dust settles.
OP, you got a problem? or are you understanding what is going on?

Well. we've tried plain talk, being mentors and finally just shining the guy on. I doubt anything is going to work on guys like that.

I think he's a short-timer. I doubt he really wants a home. He seems to be the kind of guy who'll just take a bite out of a moderator and get himself banned.

I must admit, I don't care, but then I never warmed to any guys like him. Townies. I'm done posting to him. He'll get tired of talking to himself, and even as of now, no one else cares either.

I'm with ya, he did his thing and got tired of not getting the reactions he was looking for.

I've thought about your comment here for a few days, trying to figure out just what he was doing. I've decided he was simply showing off the usual "biker attitude." Probably hacked the sleeves off his jean jacket without knowing why, too.

I do see that attitude a lot. For some reason lots of "bikers" figure if they wear their grandfather's clothes, thump their chests and buy apehangers they are 'living the lifestyle.' Mixed into that BS is a snippy attitiude, we used to call that crap 'the gunfighter syndrome.'

These guys believe that if a "real biker" is questioned at any level about the depth of his faith or the size of his cojones he must respond with anger, violence or childish rhetoric. In other words, like this guy. Oh, he knew the ramifications of typing in all caps. In a saloon his voice would permeate the entire bar, that is if he knew what the word 'permeate' actually meant.

The final analysis is always the same. He's seen 'Easy Rider' one to many times, he has no idea what brotherhood truly is, and makes himself into a caricature to impress somebody, anybody. When nobody swoons in beholding his macho swagger, he goes to a different saloon. Five will get you ten that registered to a different biker forum within days of leaving here--and he's doing the same thing there.

Well said. I hope he has a view of your insight here to understand what and how this forum is about.

Ask any of the long term HRF members here, and you'll find the same thing.

Most of the 'net is suspect, both of real knowledge and the veracity of the guys who claim to be bikers. You cannot trust the info or the people who disseminate the ideas.

Why do you think I take so many pictures of the knives I sharpen or modifications I make to my bikes? Your rep is all you have.

And a big +1 to something BI63 said. There is no greater demonstration of this overall concept than that posted in metric or multi-brand forums. Most times I can't even figure out the goals.
